Donna shared her multitalented history (from home economist to landscape industry) resulting in her latest endeavour, developing the South Metro Medical Equipment Loan Closet in 2016. The Loan Closet is a non-profit organization whose purpose is to provide short-term use of used durable medical equipment to persons 18 and older in the south metro area of Denver. The Loan Closet is 100% volunteer run; cash, checks and on-line donations are accepted (Colorado GivesR and AmazonSmile.com) as well as your time to volunteer. For more information see www.medicalequipmentloan.org or info@medicalequipmentloan.org.
Host Families Still Needed - Up With People Jan. 4 - Feb. 18
From Bev Mendel email: It is a convenient and fun way to learn about different cultures without leaving your own home - all you do is provide the young person(s) with a place to sleep, breakfast and dinner, transportation in the mornings around 8 am and in the evenings around 6 pm most days. We will be offering a regional shuttle service to transport students to and from daily activities. The cast is beginning their world tour here in Denver; they will spend most days learning their new show, learning how to spread the mission of Up with People, and getting to know their fellow cast members! If someone you know is interested in hosting an international participant or would like more information please contact Misa Grenier at 608-606-9694 or email mgrenier@upwithpeople.org with your name, phone and email. http://www.upwithpeople.org/
