KADEP's Women on Weights



 

KADEP staff member, Beth, leads the Women on Weights group.  This group of women work on endurance, strength training and resistance training. 

Thank You, Gary!

KADEP would like to thank our friendly, lovable maintenance man, Gary Wagner, for all his hard work.  Gary has been working hard day in and out since last spring, making our new home as beautiful as it is now!  He has even managed to keep a smile on his face this whole time.  Thank you for your dedication!

KADEP loves MMA

KADEP Enterprise Group needs your help

KADEP ENTERPRISES NEEDS EBAY AUCTION ITEMS—AND IDEAS!


The KADEP Enterprises class is exploring small business ventures to earn money for KADEP programs. Our first venture is to auction items on ebay.We are looking for new or like new donated items such as electronics and jewelry that are easy to ship and valued at $25 or more. We are also interested in:

•Entertainment and sports memorabilia and tickets
•Travel and vacation packages
•Antiques, coins and vintage collectibles
•Cars, boats and RVs
•Unique Experiences (Lunch with Gov. Hickenlooper? Spa day for five?)

AND we want your ideas for other possible KADEP Enterprises earned income opportunities. Some ideas we’ve already generated are:

•Weekend and evening classes for the community
•Community gardens, specialty nursery and other horticulture projects
•Craft sales/farmers’ market
•Online or retail thrift store


Please contact Sylvia Angell (sylangell@msn.com) or Ginny Wagner (wagner@mscenter.org) with your ideas and donations.

Spring Camping Trip

It is time to sign up for the spring camping trip!



We will be going to Golden Bell Camp Center (45 minutes west of Colorado Springs). We will be staying in a lodge and hot meals will be provided. Because it may still be cold and snowy, our activities will be based on the weather. At the very least, we will enjoy Golden Bell’s indoor gym and game room. We are tentatively planning on visiting the Garden of the Gods, the Air Force Academy and the United States Olympic Training Center.

The camping trip is scheduled for March 23rd through March 25th. The price of the trip is $110. Please sign up by Sharon’s desk (ie. near KADEP’s front entrance). If you have any questions feel free to ask Chris Dunbar. Please sign up by Feb. 11th.

Check out a picture from last year's trip.  It is always a blast!

KADEP CLOSED Wed. February 2nd

KADEP is CLOSED Wednesday February 2, 2011 due to extreme cold and to ensure the safety of the KADEP participants.
