[Colorado-Talk] The summer gathering is on Saturday! Don’t forget to bring back to school items for a chance to win $50 cash!

[Erin Daley]

Good evening NFB of Colorado! The summer gathering is only a few days away on July 27 from 11 to 3 at the Colorado Center for the Blind. 

We look forward to seeing you there for some delicious grilled food and side dishes, provided by members from the Mile High and Denver chapters! And let’s not forget the games and even a dunk tank!


As a reminder, the Denver chapter will be collecting school supplies for local schools that are in need. Please bring items off of this list if you wish to donate. For every three items you bring, you’ll be entered to win a $50 cash prize!
