Miller Toyota Boulder, presented a check for $10,000 to The Autism Society of Boulder County (ASBC) and YWCA Boulder County on behalf of Larry H. Miller Charities and Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>“It’s truly an honor to support the valuable work of both The Autism Society of Boulder County and YWCA Boulder County to empower women and educate children,” said Black. “As a company, we are committed to enriching the lives of our neighbors and the communities where we work and live, and day-to-day these organizations are dedicated to doing the same.”</p>
<p> </p>

<p> </p>
<p>“Colorado is ranked one of the five least affordable childcare states in the nation, and childcare in Boulder is among the costliest along the Front Range. The average cost of center-based infant care in Boulder was $17,628 a year in 2014, which is 73 percent of the income of a family of four living at the federal poverty level,” explained Amanda Piper, CEO, YWCA Boulder. “Our goal is to help women and their families reach a level beyond short-term sustainability to long-term. This is exactly what this grant will support and we are truly grateful to Larry H. Miller Toyota.”</p>
<p> </p>

The stories produced will be archived in the Library of Congress as a part of the national StoryCorps Oral History Project.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>“The grant will make a big impact in helping us to tell and share these important stories, opening the doors to greater understanding and acceptance about autism to build more community inclusivity,” said Lynn Wysolmierski, ASBC board president. “To have Larry H. Miller Toyota Boulder embrace this cause will have a profound impact in Boulder and beyond.”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Assistance from Larry H. Miller Charities, the charitable arm of the dealership group, is directed towards women and children’s programs, with an emphasis on health and education. Funds are generated, in large part, through employee contributions. </p> Free Trees to Combat Global Warming, starting June 15thtag:www.mytowncolorado.com,2013-06-05:2021996:Topic:1444772013-06-05T18:11:26.421ZElizabeth Blackhttps://www.mytowncolorado.com/profile/ElizabethBlack

There are also some golden currants, lilacs and the aggressive North Boulder rose, which deer are afraid of. All trees are drought resistant, but of course will grow faster and fix more carbon with extra water.</p>
<p> Your Neighborhood Christmas Tree Farm is located on 13th St, one block east of Broadway between Upland and Violet. Look for “Nelly-Belle the Carbon Cart” in front of the house, and pick out your tree. Planting instructions are in a box on the cart. More information about planting your tree may be found at this link: <a href="http://www.neighborhoodchristmastreefarm.com/freeseedlings.html">http://www.neighborhoodchristmastreefarm.com/freeseedlings.html</a></p>
<p> “Please be sure to plant your trees right away, and take good care of them. It won’t help the climate at all if you plant a tree, and then kill it with neglect”, says Elizabeth.</p>
<p> After viewing “An Inconvenient Truth”, Al Gore’s movie, Elizabeth and Christopher decided they had to do something to combat global warming. “Growing trees to give away seemed like something we could do to help”, says Elizabeth. </p>
<p> “Although growing trees fixes carbon and helps combat global warming, it is not a final solution to the problem. The tree eventually dies or is cut down, and burns or rots, returning carbon to the atmosphere. But planting trees does help buy us more time to find long term solutions, and can make your life much more pleasant.” says Elizabeth.</p>

<p> </p>
<p>Announcing the <strong>9th Annual Empty Bowls Event</strong>, "Feeding the Hungry in our Community", a Benefit for Longmont-based OUR Center.</p>
<p>Taking place at <strong>10:30 a.m.</strong> on <strong>Saturday, March 10, 2012</strong> at <strong>Longmont High School</strong> (1040 Sunset Street Longmont, CO 80501), this popular event attracts more than 750 people from throughout the region, and calls attention to hunger. The OUR Center's signature event, Empty Bowls raises money specifically for the OUR Center's food program, which provids hundreds of thousands of hot nutritous meals and tens of thousands of pantry food boxes to low-income families and individuals in the greater Longmont area each year.</p>
<p>This is a fun, family and community-oriented event, and for a ticket price of only $20 in advance ($25 at the door), attendees select a pottery or ceramic bowl made especially for the event to take home as a reminder of those who are hungry.</p>
<p>Enjoy delicious homemade soups, bread, and dessert (all donated by more than 20 area restaurants and included in the ticket price) at the event with hundreds of others from the community. Empty Bowls includes a silent auction featuring the work of over 100 local artists using various mediums. </p>
<p>In advance of the event, many people gather together at <strong>Crackpots Studio</strong> on Main Street in Longmont to hand paint a vibrant array of bowls. Once at the event, attendees select one of the custom bowls. They not only get to enjoy their meal in the creative pieces, but they get to keep the bowls as a reminder of the event and the meaning behind it. </p>
<p>There are many ways to get involved in this fun and important event. You can become a sponsor, paint bowls, and, most importantly, plan to attend! This is a wonderful way to get the whole family involved in a really great cause. If you are looking for something different and worthwhile to do as winter comes to a close, plan to make the short drive up to Longmont on March 10!</p>

Among the resources they provide are a food bank, thrift store for affordable household items, and community support services. Sister Carmen Community Center is East Boulder County’s only comprehensive emergency assistance center and a 501(c )(3) non-profit organization with no religious affiliation. Thrift Store revenue provides a steady income stream for SCCC, and covers 92% of their operating costs. This enables them to put .92 cents of every dollar donated directly back into the community through their services.</span></p>

Patients remain fully clothed and usually only points on the arms, legs, head and ears are needled. Payment is on a sliding scale of $20 to $45. Patients choose what they can afford to pay.</span></p>
