There was a wonderful response to our food drive for the Golden Pantry. At least ten large boxes of food stuff and toilet paper were carried to the facility.
An Evening under the Sun!
The Solstice sun shone beautifully through the clouds as we discussed our effort to raise awareness for sustainable energy. We heard from County Commissioner Andy Kerr who introduced former Governor Bill Ritter and spoke of their co-efforts in politics. We heard about the early days of setting renewable energy goals and how Colorado;s goal surpassed those of California back in the day. He was able to brag about Colorado's efforts to Governor Swartzenegger. and even better Colorado was able to meet their goal by 2020. He told us there were many who said it couldn't be done in 2007 and again they are saying it 20 years later. We just have to make it happen despite the resistance.
Take a Look at the Solstice Sun!

The Denver Astronomical Society brought their sun telescopes and many of our party goers were able to observe the sun when it peeked out between the clouds. This display is always a popular addition to the Solstice celebration.
Lucid Denver contributed to our organization AND brought a beautiful EV option to the parking lot!
EV owners showed off many of the current EV models from the VW Buzz to the Ford Mustang, to the Nissan Leaf and the Rivian as well as a Tesla.
