This one initiative has helped us increase and enhance the activities we offer to people we serve in our community activities program and residential program. People have attended Colorado Rockies events, visited the May Museum, Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, Sip-n-Splatter, Paint-nFire, YMCA classes (i.e. Zumba), attend Lion’s Camp and much more.
