Welcome EDITOR’S LETTER
Spring is almost here and although I love winters in Colorado, especially up here in beautiful Riva Chase, I for one am looking forward to some open toed shoes! As usual, we’ll probably have to get past Mother’s Day first. There are several events coming up including Clean Up Day, the Foothills Fire & Rescue’s annual Pancake breakfast, and coming up very soon, the Foothills Fire and Rescue Auxiliary community open house where they will show off their new engine on April 30th. They’ll serve food from 11-1:00 and it is free of charge. So please mark you calendar and plan on attending all these worthwhile events. On another note, the time has come for me to turn over the reigns of our Riva Reader to another volunteer. Although I have enjoyed this creative outlet in my feeble attempts to “brand” our neighborhood, I would like to spend my free time doing something else. With that said, I’m looking for some creative sole to take over the Riva Reader. Admittedly, you have to have a bit of free time, a little bit of thick skin because you can’t please everyone, and some cool software helps. But I can get you started and we have many repeat authors that contribute so you won’t be starting from scratch. Let me know if you’re interested!
