Cowboy Breakfast Sunday Feb. 1 at Los Alamos Sheriff's Posse Lodge

The Los Alamos Sheriff’s Posse Lodge hosted its monthly Cowboy Breakfast Sunday, drawing neighbors to the historic building on Bathtub Row for a community meal and fundraiser. The event is part of a long-running program that holds breakfasts on the first Sunday of every month, with six annual breakfasts raising money for the Posse and six designated for local nonprofit organizations.

Los Alamos Reporter posted the Feb. 1 notice on Jan. 31, and the Los Alamos Retired & Senior Organization promoted the breakfast as a morning event running from 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. The LARSO posting invited readers to “Join us for a morning of fluffy delights and support your Senior Activity Centers!” and listed a menu of pancakes in four flavors, scrambled eggs, sausage and bacon, and coffee, tea and orange juice. Admission listed by LARSO was $10 for adults, $5 for children ages 4–10 and free for children 0–3.

The Posse Lodge is listed on the New Mexico state registry of historic buildings and has been part of Los Alamos civic life since the Los Alamos Sheriff’s Posse incorporated on May 23, 1951. The Posse’s calendar and web information emphasize the lodge’s community role: hosting regular breakfasts, offering space for private rentals and recruiting volunteers to help run events. For households that use local senior programs, the breakfasts provide direct support; LARSO’s event notice names the Friends of the Senior Centers of Los Alamos as a beneficiary in its monthly posting.

Practical details for attendees are drawn from LARSO’s contact block: the Los Alamos senior center can be reached at adminasst@losalamosseniorcenter.com and by phone through Betty Ehart at 505-662-8920. The senior center’s main address is 1101 Bathtub Row, Los Alamos, with a White Rock office at 133 Longview Dr and phone 505-672-2034. LARSO also lists activity center hours of Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Beyond a single morning meal, the Posse’s monthly breakfasts represent a predictable, low-friction fundraising stream for small community organizations. The program’s split model - alternating support between the Posse and local nonprofits - keeps funds circulating within Los Alamos County and creates regular volunteer and social opportunities for residents. The lodge’s rental program and volunteer appeals further suggest the Posse seeks to leverage its historic asset for ongoing community benefit.

If you plan to attend or want to confirm beneficiary designation or menu details for future breakfasts, contact the Los Alamos Retired & Senior Organization at the numbers above or inquire with the Los Alamos Sheriff’s Posse about volunteer and rental opportunities. The monthly Cowboy Breakfast is a small but steady way for local spending and volunteer time to support senior services and keep the Posse Lodge active in community life.
