PUBLIC GOOD

Cyclists 4 Community

Joseph serves on the board for Cyclists for Community. On May 12th, they held a fundraiser called CRANK IT FORWARD–Melissa created marketing imagery and Marcel donated a Tejay van Garderen jersey for the silent auction. Our friends at Mercury Framing created a nice frame for the jersey and photo.

Melissa and I participated in the planning of the annual 15th Street Design District Block Party held on May 19th. Melissa’s Band, 300 Days performed at the event. The event raised about $2,500 for The CATAMOUNTS, a non-profit theater troupe based in Boulder.

Phew! That was a lot for one year—here’s to hoping the next W8 year will be full of even more fun!

Today, Joseph, our daughter Carmen, and I are on our way to London for a family vacation. We’re taking an opportunity to make a little jaunt over to Marcel’s home city, Amsterdam. We’ll be back in the studio on August 23rd refreshed and ready for work!
