And the Winner is ... Boulder County!

Greetings!
Please join us on June 2, 4-8pm at our annual Garden Party, hosted by Dave Ensign, where we will honor Nancy Grimes as the 2013 recipient of the Big Hearts Award and Barb Miller as the 2013 recipient of the Clela Rorex Allies in Action Award.
Nancy Grimes has worked to create safe space and community for lesbians since the 80s when she helped organize The Lesbian Connection. Now in her role with Rainbow Elders, she is fabulous taking the group to new levels. She keeps all of them engaged and active, creates events that are inviting and fun. It may be a job, but she loves the people she is working with and they know and appreciate that. She also manages to be everywhere, helping, providing support for others in queer advocacy work.
Barb Miller is has had a longtime passion of creating inclusive spaces for middle school youth and through her work at Manhattan Middle School she has made a significant impact on the culture of the school. Through her efforts she brought the Denver Gay Men's Chorus and the local Sound Circle to sing at the school as part of a school wide Diversity Day Assembly. The message is simple and inspiring: we need to be curious and learn to know one another rather than give into fears.
We hope you will come meet these two inspiring people in our community on June 2.
In Solidarity,
Aicila

Division of Insurance Workshop with One Colorado - June 20

Come learn and discuss health reform and how it will impact Transgender Coloradans
State and federal health law (Obamacare) is drastically changing Colorado's health care systems right now. These laws include protections and opportunities for transgender Coloradans to get the health care they need. Come learn about these health law changes, share your story and discuss how we can advocate for better health care for transgender Coloradans! Our presenter/facilitator will be Ashley Wheeland, Health Policy Director for One Colorado. More info on the event
In an important victory for the health of all Coloradans, the Colorado Division of Insurance released a bulletin on March 19, 2013, stating that discrimination in health coverage based on sexual orientation - defined as heterosexuality, homosexuality, bisexuality or transgender status - is prohibited in Colorado.
