Join us at the Hotel Colorado in Glenwood Springs, where high-spirited competition, costumed characters, and spectators come together for merriment and fun! So, me buckos, don’t be a landlubber, join the crew of H.M.S. Hotel Colorado for a swashbuckling evening full o’ rollickin’ high spirits, valuable loot…and Spelling…if ye be partial to it.

Glenwood Canyon Shuffle Race for Literacy

Who can imagine a better way to spend a beautiful Colorado fall morning than in the Glenwood Canyon or an easier way to benefit a worthy cause like Literacy Outreach?

The Glenwood Canyon Shuffle Race for Literacy takes place the first Saturday in October, usually accompanied by some of the nicest early fall weather. The Shuffle (as it is called amongst the regulars) is special, indeed, as it meanders along on the bike path in the very scenic Glenwood Canyon along the Colorado River.

Enjoy just a part of it and run or walk the 5k one-way course from Grizzly Creek to No Name or get the whole canyon experience and run the half marathon route from the start of the canyon to No Name. All ages and levels of participation are welcomed! Transportation is provided to the race starting line so it is predominately downhill to the finish but on a gentle grade.

This year’s race will be held Saturday, October 6, 2012.

We’d like to say THANK YOU to this year’s corporate sponsors:

25 Years of Service

What do party hats, noisemakers, cake and ice cream have in common? They were all a part of Literacy Outreach’s 25th Anniversary Celebration!

On November 4, 2011, Literacy Outreach celebrated 25 years of service to Garfield County. This milestone was marked with an open house at the Glenwood Springs Public Library. Those in attendance included past and present tutors, students, volunteers, staff, members of the Board of Directors and community supporters. Cake, ice cream, punch and coffee were served to commemorate the event. Party hats and noisemakers were also part of the festivities.

Our honored guest was Dorothy Snearly, who founded Literacy Outreachin 1986. The highlight of the evening was Dorothy’s recounting the early days of the organization and her continued passion about adult literacy. Dorothy was presented with a dozen yellow roses for being such a wonderful friend to adults in our community with literacy needs.
