When members of the Weisbrod Hospital Auxiliary came to their meeting in JJ’s Ranch House October 11, 2017, they were pleased to see that Linda Trosper had decorated the tables with pretty pumpkin napkins and sparkling pumpkins and lovely candies.  She even supplied zip lock bags to take candies home from the big bowl on the table.  Linda really likes the Halloween season and likes to share with others.   Since Alice Glover was not feeling well; Vice President Madonna Pollreis chaired the meeting.

COMMISSIONER MEETING

OCTOBER 26, 2017 MEETING DATE

APPOINTMENTS:

(StatePoint) The hectic holidays and chill in the air can take a toll on the immune system and make one more susceptible to cold weather challenges. Stay healthy and vital all season by taking the following steps.

Be Balanced

Poaching continues to be a major issue in Colorado. Some national studies indicate that poachers kill almost as many animals as legitimate hunters do during legal seasons.  

If poachers kill even half that number each year, the problem is serious because they are stealing game from licensed hunters, robbing businesses and taxpayers of revenues generated by hunting, and depriving us all of a valuable resource--our wildlife. And it's not just game animals that poachers steal - they also kill threatened, endangered and non-game species. 

Tyler Perry has been writing, directing, producing, and starring in movies about his Madea character for over ten years now. So how is it that this movie is so incompetently made? If this were a first-time filmmaker, I could maybe chalk the film’s painfulness up to inexperience or a lack of resources. But as this is Perry’s 17^th directorial effort, and these movies do well enough that he can easily arrange financing, I don’t feel unreasonable in saying that “Boo 2! A Madea Halloween” is simply the work of a hack.

Every year, the Southeast Area buys Integrated Resource Management Calendars “Redbooks” for producers.  We currently have 20 sitting in the office and they are handed out in a first come first serve fashion.  So please hurry in and get yours before they run out!
