American Business Women's Association

Thank you to the Longmont Chapter of the ABWA for asking me to speak at their recent meeting. It was a great networking opportunity for me as well, as I was able to speak about the Mrs. Colorado Foundation and raising money for scholarships--something the ABWA already does for local highschool girls.

Hazel Miller at Arvada HS Alumni Fundraiser

Thanks to the Arvada Alumni Association for inviting me to their annual fundraising event. I had the pleasure of meeting Hazel Miller (http://hazelmiller.com/index.cfm) and talking with her before she started her set. What an amazing voice! She also has a great sense of humor, which is why she has such a tremendous following. John DiTirro, the photographer I met at the Jingle Bell Run earlier in the year, connected me with the event. Thanks John!

Read 2 Kids Day

In celebration of NEA's "Read Across America" Day, I spent the morning at the Denver Firefighter's Museum reading stories to children about fire safety. Owen loved playing firefighter for the day, dressing the part and driving the engines.
