You know when you're eating a breakfast sandwich and the eggs are salty, the bacon is crispy, the cheese is melty?  And everything seems to come together perfectly for one glorious moment?  That is what will happen at our February meeting with Abraham Lincoln as our speaker bringing a different message than he had last year. We all see people at our monthly meetings that we look at and wonder ‘are they a new member, are they visiting with someone, are they an old member who hasn’t been here for a while?’ or worse scenario ‘are they a regular member that I have failed to introduce myself to?’   Let’s set a goal this year to introduce ourselves to anyone we see that we don’t know, a 2019 goal to make…

Happy New Year, I hope your Christmas was joyful and filled with time with loved ones.  Going into 2019, I hope your goals and resolutions will be fully realized in the coming year. Our dues are due and must be paid in January to be included in the 2019 Directory.  Also, our ads in the directory help defray the printing cost, so I encourage you to place an ad yourself, talk to your friends and neighbors, encourage them to place an ad for their business and also encourage them to become a part of the DCRW family. The Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS) will be receiving our Bucket Money this month, TAPS offers compassionate care to all those grieving the loss of a loved one who died while serving…

Our November meeting will be a little earlier in the month so we don’t interfere with anyone’s Thanksgiving plans. Starting with our November meeting, our reservation deadline is 8pm on Wednesday prior to our meeting. This month we will have our regular ‘Thanksgiving Lunch’ that Lone Tree does so well. I want to give a big ‘Thanks’ to Mona Weaver and Juli James for co-chairing our auction at our October meeting and to everyone who helped to make it a success, by donating auction items, helping with the setup, checking out, making cash donations, bidding and purchasing items. Because of everyone’s help, we were able to donate $5,000 each to the Senate Majority Fund and the House ‘Values First Colorado’ Fund.  The next time you see John Anderson or Frank…

Our October meeting is going to be a busy one, with Lang Sias our candidate for Lieutenant Governor coming to speak as well as our auction to raise campaign funds to help our candidates.  It is our ‘Fundraiser for Freedom’.  If you have an item to donate, please call – we can still pick up your item to auction.  Also, please, please bring a friend to do some early Christmas shopping at the auction, we have a lot of very nice, unique items I’m sure they can’t live without. Money collected when we “Pass the Bucket” this month will go to the Governor’s race.  If you bring a check, please make it payable to ‘Stapleton for Colorado.’ All of our candidates need your help – time, talent and treasure, so…

Here’s hoping that you have all had a safe fun summer and are now ready to go to work, we have two things that need our attention: 1.Our DCRW Auction will be held at the October monthly meeting, so remember to bring items you are donating to the September meeting.  Also, talk to the people you do business with (hairdressers, dentists, nail salons, boutiques etc.) and ask them for donations, but remember to complete the donor form.  Also, start now, encouraging your friends and neighbors to come to the auction. We really want this to be successful, so we will have a nice contribution to give our House and Senate candidates. 2.November election is coming up fast, so please share your time and treasure with our candidates. I know we…
