The team at CH&L invites you to join us in supporting Mothers of Murdered Youth (MOMY)–an organization designed to help families who are mourning the loss of a young loved one–by attending our Home of the Year Gala and Tours. All proceeds from the events will be donated to MOMY. Why this particular charity? Two reasons: First, MOMY provides emotional support for families of murdered youth. For those looking to confide in someone, phone numbers of other families who have suffered the same tragedy are offered. Second, MOMY actively speaks out against violence. If you’ve ever seen a billboard that protests violence, or a bus sign that raises awareness against community violence, chances are, MOMY was involved.
We’re excited to partner with MOMY in a unique combination of celebrating excellent design and supporting the fight against violence. Join us if you can; we hope to see you there! To purchase tickets and for other information about the Home of the Year Gala and Tours, click here.

For those of you who love to give the gift of flowers or need a fresh touch for an upcoming event, you’ll be happy to know that Twisted Tulip (located at 300 Fillmore St. in Denver) has revamped their Web site, twistedtulip.com. You’ll love the stunning pictures of exotic flowers (the punchy, bright arrangements Twisted Tulip is famous for), while each tab offers a variety of easy-to-maneuver options. After browsing the site, I was impressed at how helpful it is. Check out the new changes and maybe you’ll find the perfect summer gift. After all, who wouldn’t like a surprise flower bouquet?

Twenty-six years ago, Quilters debuted in Denver. After making a scene among regional theaters, then landing on Broadway and earning six Tony Award nominations–it’s back at the DCPA with a new production and a talented cast to sing home about. Written by Molly Newman and Barbara Damashek with music and lyrics by Damashek, the musical tells the story of life as a female in the American West, with scenes of joy to hardship and back again. Six women and one gent take the stage–each acting out more than one character–with plenty of feeling and voices that sing out in beautiful, looping harmonies that are just wonderful to listen to. Kathleen M. Brady, original Quilters touring company member, leads the show as soulful matriarch Sarah, and you’ll love the character Lizzy (performed by Susannah Flood) who brings comedic relief as the girl who’s not quite cut out for quilting.
And in the lobby of the Helen Bonfils Theatre Complex, don’t miss a special exhibit of quilts–a roundup of "quilts with a story" from The Rocky Mountain Quilt Museum. (Among them, you’ll find the original quilt from the premiere of Quilters and panels from the AIDS Memorial Quilt, the largest ongoing community arts project around the globe).
You won’t want to miss this homecoming, which runs through July 12 at The Stage Theatre in the Helen Bonfils Theatre Complex. To purchase tickets, stop by the box office from 10 am to 6 pm, Monday through Saturday, or call (303) 893-4100 or visit denvercenter.org.

There was an interesting article in the New York Times last month about working from a vacation home. The article was about Crested Butte, but it is applicable to any resort town in Colorado–or any second home anywhere, for that matter. There are a number of factors why working (at least part-time) from your second home is now possible for certain corporate executives, entrepreneurs and folks in many other careers. These factors include availability of broadband Internet service, better cell phone coverage and overnight courier service. You can read the entire article here.
Does this give any of you any ideas about getting a more scenic office?
