Mayor Gary,
I have a couple of questions regarding our nation's 250th anniversary and Colorado's 150th.

The Legion is establishing a committee to put together a plan to celebrate these anniversaries and wondering if the Town had thoughts on what they want to do and/or if they would partner with us in planning. At this point we are thinking of educational and/or entertaining things (history, citizenship type) at the Legion, and involving, if they want, the schools, League of Women's Voters, etc. I anticipate starting these opportunities in April or May, culminating in a big celebration on July 4.

The next item is we are having a GALA on July 2 at the Legion and want to formally invite you. Big picture, it's designed as a semi-formal celebration/fundraiser for the Foundation with a schedule that looks something like this;
5:30 – 6:30    Drinks, Mingling, Appetizers, Silent Auction in Tavern Area
6:30 – 7:30    Dinner in Main Hall
7:30 – 8:00 

Comments: weaving Legion achievements into theme of community, God and Country. Silent Auction winners.

8:00 – 10:00  Dancing/Mingling.  Kings of Swing Big Band


Let us know if you can attend, and I'd love to get together and discuss this some time.

Regards,
Dan

Thanks, Dan, yes, I'm honored to be invited for the July 2 event. On July 4, I'm typically paying music at one or two venues and so it is unlikely I'd be available unless early for the July 4 event. I will touch base with Rob Hinkle and Travis in regard to other planning or actions considered by the Town, including partnering potential, so more on that ater. Thanks!
