Announcements:
Our condolences go out to Karole Campbell & her father Paul for the loss of their mother and wife. Paul was a faithful member of our group for years. The Prospectors have been invited to her memorial service which will be held in Chipita Park at Marcroft Hall on October 25th from 1-4 p.m. The address is: 9105 Chipita Park Rd, Cascade, CO 80809.
Guests: Cindy Senger brought Jessica Hill of “Hilton Garden Inn” to breakfast this morning, they have RYZE, Skyline Lounge, on their 11th floor we were invited to make a reservation for some of the best views in Colorado Springs. Mike Bucher brought Alex to breakfast this morning, good to see you both, glad you are feeling better Mike!
Our board will be seeking nominations next week through December, if you feel like you have a great candidate that is willing to serve for 1 year on the board, please verify that they are willing and if they are, nominate them.
The Christmas Party is held the first Tuesday of December at 6:00 pm. at the El Paso Club. The sign-up was passed around today. Please make sure to get your name on the list! We have great food and lots of fun!
Keep your eyes out for the sign-up for the 2026 Craft Talk sign-up sheet. I’ll bring it for a couple of weeks until I get it posted on our Sign-Up Genius link.
We have several categories to fill in the group but our most recent is for an eye doctor. If you know any best-in-class candidates for the group, please invite them to a meeting.
Let’s grow! If you know someone who owns a business whose category is not currently represented in the group, invite them to breakfast. We are always looking for best in class companies who would be an asset to the group.
Chris Waldron is taking pictures of our members for the website. This is a FREE service. If you want to purchase the head shot to use elsewhere, his prices are EXCELLENT!
