Friday Morning Message

IT’S FASHION SHOW DAY

If you are planning to attend the fashion show and buy raffle tickets, we recommend that you bring address labels to make things go faster. You must be present to win a raffle basket so if you forget your labels, you can just write your name on the ticket. We also have 5 items for a Silent Auction. Credit cards will be accepted for those.

Thanks to all who supported the fashion show by buying tickets to attend, donating prizes or items we needed to make the decorations. This has been a real team effort. [IGNITE YOUR PASSION]

All those who signed up to help with registration or raffle ticket sales are asked to check in with Nancy Jacobs in the lobby at 9:30 a.m. on February 12.
Models not eating prior to the fashion show are asked to be at Madera by noon.
If something has come up, and you are unable to help on the 12^th, please let Nancy know ASAP at 970-946-3910 or nancyajacobs@yahoo.com.

WHAT’S NEW ON THE WEBSITE THIS WEEK!

The latest addition to the website is the Milestone feature in the sidebar (on the left of the screen). This feature displays a countdown to a certain date. When the event falls within the current month, the countdown will change to “how many days are left” to a milestone (or event, in our case). This feature will be removed when not in use, and re-added when appropriate and as needed.
