Use Only What You Need
Did you know?  In 2007, Mile High Youth Corps' Water Conservation Program helped low-income families save over 8,334,000 gallons of water-- the equivalent of 13 Olympic-sized swimming pools!  This month we are helping Denver Water get the word out about the importance of water conservation.  Will you help our cause?   
 
Please consider placing a "Use Only What You Need" sign in your yard or window.  MHYC can provide you with a free sign. 
For every sign we distribute in August, MHYC will receive a $2 contribution to support its employment and education programs for urban youth. 
 
Please request your sign today.
  Call Kristen Grigsby at 303.433.1206, Option 1 ext. 321 or email emcc@mhyc.net and provide your name and address.  We will make arrangements for you to pick up your sign at the East Montclair Community Center or to deliver it to your home.

September 13, Golden Gate Canyon St. Park 
  HFY 3c smallOn Saturday, September 13th, hikers of all ages and abilities will hit the trails of Golden Gate Canyon State Park to raise money for Mile High Youth Corps. Whether you want an easy stroll through the fall woods, a strenuous 6-mile hike with your pup, or something in between, we have a hike for you, your employees or your youth group.

Adults hike for $25 and youth (ages 5-17) hike for $10. Or get your coworkers on the trail as a corporate team for $250. All hikers are encouraged to raise a minimum of $100 in pledges to support MHYC and top fundraisers will win awesome prizes like outdoor gear, gift cards, and more.

Difficult hikes will begin at 9:00 a.m., moderate at 9:30 a.m. and easy hikes at 10:30 a.m. All hikes will end by 12:00 p.m. in time for the after-hike party.
