Local Heroes
Gretchen Beall
Professor Emeritus of College of Music, University of Colorado at Boulder
My own life has been enriched by the arts, from the music in my family
to my career at the University. Since retirement, volunteering first in
the arts with The Longmont Council for the Arts and the Longmont
Symphony Orchestra, and then following other social concerns have
helped me to discover and know a whole new community.
Jeanne Deaschner
Volunteering can add a tremendous amount of zest for life. It gives you a purpose for getting up in the morning.
Lori Park
Circle of Care came into my life when my life needed healing. I had just lost a child to illness and was deeply despondent. I decided to volunteer for CoC and an amazing thing happened.
The love and support I received from the elders in our community helped me through my grief process and to heal. I realized that I needed them in my life more than or as much as they needed me. I am forever grateful for what the Circle of Care of Care Community provides for people of all ages and for what it did for me when I needed it most.

The Children's Peace Garden was an idea I came up with when I went to a youth conference in Boston. I saw the diversity of youth in the US trying hard to improve their communities.
