<div class="gmail_default">Attention Homes has a great relationship and receives support from many organizations throughout Boulder Valley and Colorado. One recent show of confidence and support for their local mission to provide life changing resources to youth in crisis, came from First Presbyterian Church, Boulder. Last week, Claire Clurman, Executive Director, received a check for $10,000 from the fellow non-profit organization. This money was generated from a specific fundraising effort by the Chancel Choir Council in December 2016. Every year the Music Department orchestrates a 3-concert event in December with the specific goal of raising money to support a non-profit organization that helps the marginalized of society. Sometimes the focus is global or national, but this year it was local and in Boulder's own backyard. "We support the work of Attention Homes and their goal to reach the at-risk youth in our community. We need to demonstrate our love and attention to these youth in tangible ways. And that's what Attention Homes is all about," says Robin Dean, from Music & Worship at First Pres. The selection process for determining the organization that will benefit from the concerts is selective. Organizations must apply for the funds, stating their need along with who will benefit and how the organizations is helping the community. The Chancel Choir Council ultimately decides who will be the beneficiary and Attention Homes was chosen from the 14 applications received. This year they zoned in on Attention Homes partly due to the number of youth that would be reached by their efforts, and the practical help and demonstrated impact that Attention Homes has made in their 50 year history in Boulder County. "We're grateful for the funds and support of our neighbors here in Boulder." says Attention Homes. </div>
<div class="gmail_default"> The Glory of Christmas concerts, are an annual event at First Pres and have been going on for about 35 years. Every year we choose to gift all proceeds to a non-profit organization in order to bless and multiply the work that they do." professes Jim Keller, Director of Music & Worship at First Pres. We were happy to be able to support Attention Homes with this generous check. The concerts charge a nominal fee of $10/person for adults, $5/youth. It is enjoyed by all ages and presents a variety of genres including choral music accompanied by the Boulder Symphony, a high school choir and a worship band.</div>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><font face="Calibri" size="3">These gifts were part of a gift giving program that has been an annual event for several years. It began with a few gifts to the foster care children and continues to grow every year. Each year, the need seems to grow but the donors' gifts always exceed the requests.</font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><font face="Calibri" size="3">The gifts were donated by members of the Westminster Stake (a stake is similar to a diocese and is comprised of several congregations) of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints who live in Broomfield and Westminster. The project is under the direction of Stake President Larry Hickman and is conducted for the purpose of providing Christ-like service to those in need.</font></p>

Dear Friends, Rocky Mountain Revels, a non-profit performing arts organization celebrating its 8th year in Boulder, is proud to kick off Boulder's Sesquicentennial Celebration with its upcoming "A Pioneer Christmas" show. With 2009 ushering in the 150th anniversary of the founding of Boulder, Nederland, Gold Hill, and Denver, the Boulder Sesquicentennial Committee is planning a year-long celebration! "A Pioneer Christmas" represents a remarkable community effort. It envisions a pioneer experience in a loosely woven story told through the Revels traditions of music, dance and drama. Over 50 community members will appear on stage, and another 50 will be volunteering behind the scenes backstage. Performances will be December 14th and 20th at the historic Boulder Theater; rehearsals are every Monday evening (7:00 - 9:00 p.m. for adults, 6-7 for children) from September through December. Auditions for Rocky Mountain Revels "A Pioneer Christmas" are on Saturday, August 23rd at the Lutheran Atonement Church at 685 Inca Pkwy., just off Baseline Rd. in central Boulder from 2-5 p.m. The audition song should be a folk song or carol sung a cappella; it need not be anything fancy. You must be able to carry a tune, but you do not have to be a trained singer. Wanted: large community cast of all ages (7-70+) and varying experiences. For more information write info@rockymountainrevels.org or call 303 440-9056.…
