Donna Ralston from the South Metro Medical Equipment Loan Closet spoke to us in the past and shared the following invitation to attend their Open House to be held Sept. 17 from 5-6 p.m. at their facility at 825 S. Dallas Ct, Greenwood Village 80111. "We felt it important to invite all of the Rotary groups that have supported us to come and see for yourself what we do and how it all works. Light refreshments will be served and we would like you to meet some of our loyal volunteers." Directions: from I-25, go East on Arapahoe Road to Dayton St. Turn south (right) and go to the end of the street. The Greenwood Village post office will be on your right. Turn right on to Costilla, then immediately right again onto S. Dallas Ct. It looks like an alley or warehouse area. We are 2/3 of the way down the alley on the left. Our logo is on the door.
