The West Metro Relay for Life is an annual fundraising event for the American Cancer Society. One of the core values of Relay for Life is the celebration of survivorship and the support of caregivers throughout the cancer journey.

This dinner celebrates those who have survived cancer and gives hope to those still facing the battle. Survivors of all ages and of all types of cancer are invited to join for a free dinner.

The dinner will take place at the First Methodist Church of Golden at 1500 Ford Street on June 2 at 6:30 p.m. If you would like to attend, please RSVP Cherry Stroup at 303-526-9213 or cherry.stroup@gmail.com.

Join us for the second community planning process and public input opportunity for the Colorado School of Mines neighborhoods from 5:30 to 7 p.m. on Wednesday, June 14 at the Golden Community Center. This meeting will review outcomes of the April 12 meeting, and further define needs of the neighborhood resulting in a report for City Council.

This City-driven process is not intended to address the arrangement of various University uses within the campus boundaries. Rather, the focus will be on the relationship of the campus as a whole to the community, and the interface of campus boundaries with nearby residential, commercial, cultural and recreational uses. City Council and staff are seeking specific input and recommendations as to how the relationship of the buildings and uses along the edges of campus can meet the University’s needs while respecting and enhancing the physical and social relationship with adjacent neighbors.

Can’t make the meeting? There is still opportunity to voice your opinion by taking the Colorado School of Mines Neighborhoods’ Survey.
