Good News Friday

Two items of note today:

First of all, if you haven’t already, I'd like to gently remind you to please vote for Imagine! Behavioral Health Services (IBHS) to win a NOVA Award through the Community Foundation of Boulder County. IBHS is one of 23 local nonprofits that have been nominated for a NOVA Award, and IBHS was nominated for this prestigious award for their collaborative partnership with Mental Health Partners to improve services to people with a dual diagnosis of having a developmental disability and mental illness. Voting runs through this Saturday, June 11. The winner of the NOVA Award will receive $5,000 as part of the award. Please vote only once but feel free to forward the link to vote to your friends and family.

Secondly, The Millennium Harvest House in Boulder is continuing its support of the community by hosting non-profit groups during each of the 2011 “Notorious FAC” concerts. The Millennium is located at 1345 28th Street, Boulder, CO 80302 (just south of the intersection at Arapahoe and 28th Streets, behind the Safeway).

Imagine! will be a featured non-profit at the FAC on June 17, from 5:30 – 9:00 PM. The event is free and features a performance by Dotsero.

Imagine! artists from C.O.R.E./Labor Source art classes will be on hand, and attendees of the FAC will have opportunities to learn about Imagine!, and are welcome to draw and paint with our consumers.

Last year, many kids who attended the concert sat side by side with Imagine! artists, creating mini masterpieces together. I’m looking forward to seeing the creative artwork I’m sure will emerge from this year’s event.

Please consider joining us to help to raise awareness for Imagine! by attending the event.
