Peggy Wrenn
I give time and money to non-profits in Boulder because it does good
and it feels good. Having grown up in Boulder County since 1954 when I
was three years old, I'm deeply grateful for my excellent public
schooling, rich community, and profound sense of "home." I get joy from
giving to my community.

Music to Our Ears!
Submitted by cogadmin on Thu, 04/30/2009 - 14:07Sounds from flutes, violins, mandolins, pianos, electric guitars, and singers floated out into the hallway from behind different practice room doors. Teachers snapped their fingers to set the beat and could be heard saying, "OK, let's take it again from here." Backpacks were piled on top of the lobby couches, and above and around the sound of busy feet could be heard all over the building. The feel was distinctly "kid," and the time was after-school music lessons at Rocky Mountain Center for Musical Arts.
