Hi Folks,Here is the location of The State Convention that will be held on Saturday, August 24th 2013 here in Douglas County.It will be held at the Westridge Recreation Center located at 9650 Foothills Canyon Blvd. Highlands Ranch, Colorado 80129. The room that we will be meeting in is the Falcon Room. Again, thank you all for allowing the Douglas County Greens to host this event. Peace,Chris AllenDouglas County Greens
I just heard from Chris that there are problems with this location. We'll know more tonight, but for now it looks like we might be looking a third location.
FYI: Our initial location was reserved, until the location notified us a few weeks ago that they were no longer allowing that room for public use. This was our second choice.
First of all, sorry about this bouncing around on locations. First we had the library reserved a few weeks ago, then they notified us a about a week ago that the room was no longer available to the public. Then I talked to the rec. center on Monday of this week and the supervisor on duty said it would not be a problem for us to have a space for a full day. However, I was informed yesterday by another supervisor (of a little known policy it seems) that they do not rent rooms out for all day programs to non-profits. I will be addressing this issue with the head of facilities today. Never had troubles like this before. I will be looking for other locations in here in Douglas County in the next couple of days. I will call the schools again, as well as hotels in the area to see if they have space. We will make this happen 🙂 Would anybody have objections to using a church space if need be?
Personally, I have no problem with church spaces as long as they understand our secular nature. I'm not sure of the demographics of Colorado Greens when it comes to religious beliefs. However, churches do have spaces for use that are not religious in nature, meant for nonprofit activities. As long as the space itself is secular I don't see a problem using church space if we have to.
Just to keep you updated. The rec. center still may be an option, after talking to the facilities supervisor today. Had a very good problem solving conversation. 🙂 Let you know more tomorrow.
GOOD NEWS!!!! WE ARE GOING TO HAVE THE STATE MEETING AT THE REC. CENTER ON AUGUST 24TH. WORKED THROUGH THE ISSUES SO WE ARE ABLE TO HAVE THE CONVENTION AT THAT LOCATION. AGAIN THE LOCATION IS: The Westridge Recreation Center located at 9650 Foothills Canyon Blvd. Highlands Ranch, Colorado 80129. The room that we will be meeting in is the Falcon Room. We have the room from 9:00am to 4:00pm and we don't have to worry about set up or break down. They will take care of that for us.
