ALUMNI UPDATES

Stories, resources and news from the Change Makers community

  • 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.

  • Zoom discussion series is in the works

    Plans are underway for a new Zoom discussion series, which will feature six one-hour sessions. These virtual conversations will focus on various topics of interest, including: navigating retirement when your spouse is still working; caring for aging parents and how to balance commitment with engaged leisure activities in retirement.

    The series is intended to promote peer-to-peer conversations facilitated by fellow Change Makers alums. Dates for the series are still being determined, so be sure to check back on the cudenverchangemakers.com website for new information. Series organizers are also seeking ideas for conversation topics. If you have thoughts on potential topics, comment on this post or contact Lynn Gangone at lmgangone@gmail.com.
