GLENWOOD SPRINGS – Child abuse is a topic that not many people wish to engage in conversation in, let alone, think about. But for the 250+ children annually from Garfield, Pitkin, Eagle, and Rio Blanco.
The only ward being contested for Glenwood Springs City Council during this year’s election is Ward 3, with incumbent Mayor Pro Tem Charlie Willman and his opposition, Sumner Schachter. Both candidates have served a lot.
Dance, song and prayer
On April 3 in downtown Aspen, we were blessed by an amazing showcase of Native dance and drum exhibition. The presence of the first inhabitants of these lands, their beautiful traditional songs, dances and prayers were a healing balm on our spirits after a year long of dealing with COVID-19 impacts.
Aspen Indigenous Foundation would like to express its heartfelt gratitude to city of Aspen for allowing us to bring this event to the community, and to our generous sponsors: Aspen Skiing Co., Annabelle Inn, Mountain Chalet, Molly Gibson, the St. Regis, New York Pizza and to all the donors who contributed to support cultural Native programs such as this past exhibition.
Two 2RCF grant cycles completed in 2020
The Two Rivers Community Foundation based in Glenwood Springs awarded $11,000 in grants to various area nonprofit organizations last year.
“Despite the challenges of last year, 2RCF was able to provide needed help in the community at time when it was crucial, thanks to the generosity and continued support of 2RCF friends and donors,” the organization announced in a news release.
According to the release, in May of 2020, $5,000 in grants were awarded to help several organizations that were meeting the immediate challenges presented by the pandemic. And, for the fall 2020 grant cycle, six area nonprofits received $6,000 in grant funding from the Two Rivers Unrestricted Endowment Fund (T.R.U.E).
