Colorado LifeSharing is looking for volunteers who would like to help us ring in the New Year by assisting us put on a community dance on the evening of January 6th. We are looking for several “event coordinators” who would like to plan the event and a number of individuals who would like to volunteer on the night of the event with set-up, clean-up and help during the dance. If you are interested, please send your contact information to info@coloradolifesharing.org or call 970-663-6696.
We are also looking for volunteers who are willing to give their time, either on a regular basis or for special projects. Volunteers who are able to commit to a regular schedule are needed to teach classes to our day program, act as a mentor or job coach, or support our participants out in the community. Volunteers wishing to help on a less regular schedule can help with special projects and events as they come up. We are also looking for someone interested in being our volunteer coordinator. If you are interested, please send your contact information to info@coloradolifesharing.org or call 970-663-6696.

After saying good-bye to Jon Robertson, our former Day Program Manager, CLS has hired 2 new managers to take his place.
Rebecca (Becki) Temple is our new part-time Day Program Manager. She has years 3 years of experience with this population and 2 years of experience with day services. She is looking forward to starting the Supported Employment program to give those who are able an opportunity to work in their community. We are excited to have her and her great ideas for enhancing our programming.
Michelle Ross is our new part-time Residential Manager. She has 13 years of experience in the field and is also a host home provider for 2 participants outside of our agency. We welcome her wealth of knowledge and enthusiasm as she enhances the quality of living for our residents.
We are thrilled to have both Becki and Michelle as our organization looks ahead to potential growth and changes. The two of them have jumped in with both feet, already making positive contributions. |

Colorado LifeSharing would like to extend a special thank you to Mike Morris and the Front Range PC Users Group. We contacted them a couple of months ago and they immediately started helping us with our computer needs. Several members of their group have spent a number of hours upgrading our software, fixing our printing and internet problems and making suggestions for meeting our upcoming computing needs. Having our computers and office equipment running properly, enables us to focus our time on providing our clients the best service possible. Thank you for your time and dedication. |
