Work Options for Women - Women Cook! Dining for a Difference

Now in its 6^th year, Work Options for Women is excited to once again promote this successful fundraising event to support the WOW program’s “recipe for success.”  The WOW program combines hands-on food service training at two food service establishments with case management, job placement, and follow-up services, implementing what research shows are best practices in job-training to help students move from poverty to self-sufficiency. 

This year’s event will be held Monday, May 3^rd from 6:00 – 8:30pm at Temple Emanuel.  This event has sold out for the past 3 years so find out now how you can be a part of this exciting event!  Click Here for more details, ticket purchase and sponsor opportunities. 

NAIOP Colorado Supports Denver Childrens Home

Submitted by Jason Newcomer, Community Relations Chair, DCS Inc.

Happy Holidays NAIOP members! This year we would like to make a special request to all of our members. NAIOP has agreed to be a sponsor for the Denver Children's Home this year and we are asking for your support. For those of you that are not aware of Denver Children's Home, it is the oldest non-profit in the state started back in 1876. Their mission is to care for the state's abused and neglected children. They provide a therapeutic, safe place for emotionally distressed children and adolescents. Like most other non-profits Denver Children's Home has struggled as donations have fallen off this year. That is where we hope you can help NAIOP fill the void!

Click Hereto see a list of items needed by the home.  Please purchase a item, buy a gift card or simply write a check. We will be collecting these items at the Chapter’s Annual Holiday Receptionon the evening of December 8th, so if you plan to attend you can bring with you to the party. If you are not attending you can drop off your donation/gift at the NAIOP offices. We will be delivering the gifts and donations on Friday, December 11th so we ask that you have the gifts to NAIOP by Thursday December, 10th. Thank you to everyone who has already committed to giving this year and have a safe and happy finish to 2009.

2009 Mustach4Cash/Color4Kids Co-Chairs

As many of you know, this was the first year NAIOP participated in this fundraising effort and we must say, it was a refreshing way to raise money for such an important cause.   We had 2 teams:  The Seasoned Leaders (with 4 strong participants) who finished 11th in overall fundraising and the Developing Leaders (with 10 strong participants) finishing 4th in the team competition.  The combined NAIOP team totals place our organization 3rd overall for this event.

The results are in:  THE DEVELOPING LEADERS WON!

Mustache 4 Cash - Color 4 Kidz Fundraiser

This October, we're looking for 50 Brave NAIOP Members who are willing to sacrifice their looks and their locks as participants in...

Do it for the Kids!   Each year this organization raises money for local non-profits that support Denver at-risk youth programs such as Byrne Urban Scholars and Colorado Youth at Risk. 

Join a Team!  Our goal is to have two competing teams from the NAIOP Community:  

The "Seasoned" Leaders  vs.  The "Developing" Leaders

It's Simple!  All we ask is that guys grow a mustache or ladies color your hair (a streak, full color, or clip in color streak) during the first 3 weeks of October.  Participants collect pledges from family, friends, co-workers, baristas, bus drivers, etc.  Every Thursday during October there is a "How Is It Growin'" event at local Denver establishments. The events are a terrific opportunity to network with other professionals and check out the hot new looks of your fellow NAIOP participants.
