Executive Director’s Message
Happy Birthday to our great nation, The United
States of America!
While you are firing up the grill either in your
backyard or in the forest while camping this 4th of
July weekend, please keep in mind, even with
how divided this nation seems sometimes, what
a great country we do live in! I’m very proud of our great heritage
and the freedoms we have attained through much sacrifice.
In what other country in the world are the citizens as free as we are
to protest in the streets, question our government, be highly
educated, start your own business, and work for yourself without
fear of reprisal?
We’ll keep this short this month but I do want to thank our intern,
Michael Bernard. Michael has been with us since March and has
done a fantastic job! He came to us through the Workforce Center
and their Kickstart program. Michael will be moving to Denver to
complete his final year of college. We have a couple more weeks
with him, so if you see him please thank him for a job well done and
wish him well.
Thank you and have a safe, fun and prosperous July!
