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!

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.

The Rocky Mountain Quilt Museum (RMQM) is proud to host an exhibition of modern quilts from a talented group of modern quilters — The Denver Metro Modern Quilt Guild. How New is Modern, an exhibition of quilts designed and created by Denver-area modern quilters, explores well-known and classic designs in unique and unexpected ways. Using quilts from RMQM’s own collection as inspiration, thirty-seven quilts present reimaginations of classic quilt patterns, utilizing bright colors, unusual fabrics, and intricate quilting.
On display from October 23 to February 3, 2018, How New Is Modern will provide all visitors to the museum with a fresh exploration of long favored traditional patterns, encouraging discussion between traditional and modern quilters. Also on display will be a collection of favorite quilts from the Museum’s collection, including the traditional quilts that inspired How New Is Modern.
An opening reception for the exhibit is scheduled from 6 to 8 p.m. on Friday, October 27. The reception is open to the public. The Rocky Mountain Quilt Museum is open every day: 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Saturday, and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday.
