ALUMNI UPDATES

Stories, resources and news from the Change Makers community

  • New date set for summer social

    Change Maker alumni should mark their calendars for a summer social gathering, which will be held at a cool new venue — Moodswing, 3625 E. 48th Ave., Denver — from 2 to 4 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 1. The date has been changed from July 18 as announced in the last alumni newsletter.

    We’ll gather to deepen our connections, welcome the latest alumni of Cohort 7 and try new things, including pickleball if you’re game. There will also be opportunities for small-group conversations across cohorts, and Anne Button will provide a program update.

    There is no cost to attend. You’ll only pay for your own food and beverages, and significant others and friends are welcome.

    Look for a Save the Date email in your inbox, and RSVP to let organizers know how many people to expect. And here’s a great video to get you excited about spending an afternoon at Moodswing.

  • Alumni in action at 50+ Fair

    Alumni Steering Committee members Robin Margolin, Regina Kilkenny, Wendy Wadas and Tony Brucha represented Change Makers at a recent 50+ job and volunteer fair in Arvada on April 30. They arrived early to set up and spent the morning talking with attendees who are thinking about what’s next.

    Several alumni and current fellows also stopped by throughout the morning, adding to the sense of connection and community. As always, it was the conversations that made it. Hearing directly from alumni gives people a real sense of the program in a way nothing else quite can.

  • May installment of “First Wednesday Walk & Talk” canceled

    Due to a pending snowstorm and unseasonably cold temperatures, the monthly “First Wednesday Walk & Talk” in Wash Park (Denver) on May 6 has been canceled. Plan to attend upcoming Walk & Talk events at 8 a.m. on June 3, July 1, Aug. 5, Sept. 2 and so on. All alumni, regardless of where they live, are invited to participate. If there’s enough interest, additional walking groups may organically form at other parks in Denver, Boulder, Colorado Springs and beyond.
