DFC Friends,
We hope you’re enjoying autumn!
Two quick and important messages:
1. We need more diversity on City of Fort Collins Boards and Commissions.
Please considering registering and attending the first Boards and Commissions Open House on Monday, Nov. 6, and applying!
2. Your vote matters. Vote on Nov. 7 by mailing your ballot today or dropping it off at one of the many ballot box drop locations around the city.
Check out our voter guide and resources.
And for those who love arts and culture, stay tuned for a rare opportunity to attend an amazing immersive performance by Control Group Productions right here in Fort Collins, Dec. 14-17! Read more about “Bitter Moon.”
Remember, we’re always interested in hearing your story. Write a Community Voices guest commentary and share your story with the world.
By the way, we’re fortunate to have a brilliant new volunteer, MK, a software engineer (whom we met through Dr. Cori Wong’s Feminist Friendship workshop this summer) to help us organize and develop the website. Stay tuned for improvements in 2024.
Finally, we know the world is hurting right now with what’s happening in the Middle East.
