Founded in 2015, RARE PETRO is designed to be the future of oil & gas technical firms. One of the company’s main missions is to work towards modernizing the industry by using and leveraging technology to drive efficiency and improvement! With the recent downturn in the industry NOW is the time to THINK DIFFERENT – THINK EFFICIENT! What about creating the correct tools on modern mobile computing, communication and interface devices to accomplish that goal? Why re-invent the wheel when you can just put your ideas in the modern vehicle and get unprecedented capabilities!

This is the second year that International Women’s Day has been celebrated in Jefferson County, Colorado, and the City of Golden will this year proclaim March 8 as Women’s Day. In many countries around the world, this is a day when women are recognized for their achievements without regard to divisions, whether national, ethnic, linguistic, cultural, economic or political. International Women’s Day first emerged at the turn of the twentieth century in North America and across Europe and the first time it was observed nationally in the U.S. was in 1909. The Charter of the United Nations, signed in 1945, was the first international agreement to affirm the principle of equality between women and men.
STEM Contest
The Golden Library, which has an active STEM girls program, is holding a contest for girls in grades 5 through 8. Colorado School of Mines Female Students (via DECTech) will be judging the contest.
For more information about the STEM contest, contact the Golden Library at 303-235-5275.

Golden’s Community Sustainability Advisory Board (CSAB) is taking steps to bring a community solar garden to Golden. The first step in the process is for citizens to vote whether to add renewable energy as an allowable land use at the Rooney Road Sports Complex. While no specific solar garden project is under consideration at this time, if voters approve the use of renewable energy at the site, next steps will be to amend the current lease with Jefferson County and look for a favorable project. Learn more about the Community Solar Ballot Initiative.
Join CSAB members for a “Let’s Talk Solar” open house and volunteer recruitment meeting on July 19 from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Golden Community Center. Stop by to learn more about all things solar and the Community Solar Ballot initiative and ways to get involved. Refreshments will be provided. Those interested in volunteering are encouraged to fill out the online volunteer recruitment form 
or email goldensustainability@cityofgolden.net.
Do you have . . .
- Questions about what “affordable housing” means or why it’s important to our community?
- Thoughts you’d like to share about your experience with renting or buying in Golden?
- Ideas for how the City might assist its workforce, young families, seniors and other residents to remain in the community?
Then please join us for a community open house on Tuesday, July 25 from 5:30 to 7 p.m. at the Golden Community Center, to discuss and provide input on housing policy and program options currently under consideration. And enjoy some pizza!
This will be an opportunity to review community trends related to housing attainability, refine and prioritize housing related policies for future inclusion in Golden’s Comprehensive Plan and consider some program options to help meet the housing needs of low, moderate and middle income Golden households.
