Volunteer Dynamo Steve Robinson
Steve Robinson may have retired, but he's working nearly every day to improve our community! Steve serves as just-past-president of the San Juan Ranch Estates HOA, treasurer of the Lake Fork Health District, active member of St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church, employee at the Visitor's Center, volunteer for the Division of Wildlife, and vice-president of the
Lake City Continental Divide Snowmobile Club. Steve has been instrumental in setting up the upcoming Globe-Trekker visit to Lake City (which will be aired worldwide) and schedules/leads a weekly hiking club during the summer.
Steve is an integral part of the Lake City DIRT team since joining in December. He is part of the executive committee and treasurer; on the Economic Restructuring committee; and a solid strategic thinker - also known as DIRT's voice of reason.
Steve - you embody the hospitality and volunteerism Lake City is known for.
Thank you.

Wired for Business
Lake City downtown is wired for business, thanks to a rural business opportunity grant from USDA Rural Development. An economic feasibility study was conducted to identify ways to further develop a sustainable economy. A list of core agenda items were suggested by consultants Jay Schlinsog and Lisa Bennett of Downtown Professionals Network, Inc.
One core action item identified the potential for increased telecommuting and online business services for Lake City, Colorado. Wireless internet has just been installed in the new DIRT office - above the Miners and Merchants Bank - for visiting professionals and residents who may choose this spectacular outdoor office setting. (Sunscreen not included.) The signal can be accessed in Town Park and the Third Street Market area.
For more information on the study and our progress towards identified goals, please visit www.lakecitydirt.com
Happy July!
