Happy New Year Members and Friends!

Dear Members and Friends,

Happy New Year! I hope this finds you well and looking forward to 2022 – it certainly has a lot of promise to be an interesting year. Locally, and in Colorado, we are currently focusing on election security, health care, a climate working group and lots of voter education. And of course there will be mid-term elections, legislative action and reports from our elected officials and lots of voter education – did I mention voter education?

Please keep reading below in Recent Articles to see what might interest you in becoming more involved and then let us know; is it our new book group, working on election security, affordable and universal health care, getting out the vote? Is it Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion that stirs you to action? Maybe you are a “techie” looking for some web design and social media outreach opportunities? Or is there something else on your mind that moves you?  Let us hear from you – we need you!

And as we move into the new year, let’s hold our friends Ellen and Ross Park in our hearts – many of us have lost loved ones and know how meaningful it is to know that the community to which we belong is holding us in their hearts. 

In league with you,

Laurie Meininger

President, Board of Directors
