8330 W. 80th Ave., Arvada, CO 80005
Why: To help people who may be struggling to pay their home mortgage by connecting them with information resources and people
(No direct resources will be provided but information, counseling and contacts will be available)
More Details:

• 60-120 people in the past. More expected due to economy and better promotion. They are guessing 150 or more.
• 3 simultaneous seminars will be presented at the bottom of every hour 9:30, 10:30, 11:30)

Important Note:
We must honor the City's wishes for us not to proselytize or evangelize during the meeting. It IS appropriate to answer questions about our community focused outreach programs and services (Haven's Hope, Food Bank, Growing Home, etc.), including our service times. According to Vicky, the City is aware of the value that faith based organizations bring to the community and desires to coexist for the good of the community .

• Work with partners (people at tables and presenters) to assure they have what they need

Any outreach ministry should have a presence of some sort, either by brochures, flyers, personal presence, or all of the above.
We have a huge chance to impact some people in our community that are possibly in THE MOST PRECARIOUS PLACE IN THEIR LIVES

My hope is that some MC's might adopt this event and take care of some details

Let Jim know ASAP if you can help and what you might be able to do (e-mail or text preferred)   720-934-5600 jfries@foothillsonline.org

Thank you everyone!
