Chamber Welcomes New Member
Thanks for the Beef!
Thank you for your Generosity!!
Donelson Ciancio & Goodwin, P.C. Donate Beef to Chamber
Thanks to the generous donation of Blaine Bowne of Donelson Ciancio & Goodwin, P.C. of Broomfield, the Chamber is the proud owner of a steer. Mr. Bowne purchased the steer at the Yuma County fair to support the 4-H youth and the community. He donated the critter to our organization to be used as a fundraiser. The Colorado gaming laws restrict us from raffling the beef, so we have sold the beef outright. Wray Meat is donating $50 towards processing.
Many, Many Thanks to both of these businesses for their support & generosity!
