Better Business BureauCelebrating Marketplace Endurance Event February, 25, 2011
Hello from the Better Business Bureau serving Denver/Boulder!As our organization was founded in 1951, we naturally began thinking about the best way to celebrate our 60th Anniversary in 2011. We did the usual consideration of looking internally for stats about our organization like - members and staff who have been here the longest, old photos of the building, first newsletter, and the like. All of those things are important and fun to reminisce about; however, we just didn't think it was special enough. It is inspiring to consider all that Metro Denver, Boulder County, and its organizations have been through, especially the last few years. Everyone has been making the tough decisions, being creative and surviving to fight another day. Additionally, many of these same organizations have been doing this for 25, 50, 100 or more years. Bottom line - we'd like to make our Anniversary a celebration of the ENTIRE business community and we'd love it if you would join us.Are you celebrating a milestone?

Experience vintage memorabilia, music, food and fashions. Please wear your contemporary or vintage 1950's cocktail attire.
