 Loveland 365 - the perfect gift!
Now that the book - Loveland 365 - has been in people's hands and homes, they are telling us how they must sit down, how they take their time going page by page. They tell us they are delighted to see places they love and people they know. We often hear, "I wish I'd ordered one. My mom (or brother or teacher) would love that for Christmas."
The books are still available through Alternatives to Violence and Habitat for Humanity. Don't delay! You will have a limited edition gift to give someone special ... and your purchase will benefit a local non-profit.

 Gunnar Smith The Muppets came out the day before Thanksgiving.
Did you see Loveland's own Gunnar Smith (he's on page 049 of "Loveland 365") in the movie? Gunnar plays Gary at age 6?
Pay attention - you will be seeing this rising star more often in the near future!

John Giroux recently met with Lynda Neilsen of Alternatives to Violence and Gwen Stephenson of Habitat for Humanity to give them the remaining Loveland 365 books. Both organizations are selling the books to directly profit their nonprofits.
An article written by Rebecca Powell in the Loveland Connection, titled "Loveland 365 now can benefit nonprofits after last books delivered."
The book hand-off took pace at Henry's downtown during a "Wednesdays 4 ATV" event sponsored by the Leadership Loveland Class of 2012.

 The current edition of the Northern Colorado Business Report ran a great story about Loveland 365. In it, Tracee Sioux wote about the issues the presale paradigm presents to the Loveland 365 team.
The community support the project has received is fabulous! We are certain, when people see the book and hold it in their hands, everyone will wish they'd ordered their copy before the deadline!
There is still time to place orders. Even more nonprofits have come on board, so finding and donating the proceeds from your book purchase to your favorite charity is easier than ever.
Thanks, Tracee Sioux and NCBR!

 Loveland 365's logo, Designed by John Metcalf of JM Designs Thanks to Connie Luke at High Impact Signs
for our awesome sandwich board signs!
Excellent photos by John Giroux of Family Mortgage
graced these sandwich board signs!
Thanks to Classic Designs Embroidery
for our Loveland 365 t-shirts and caps!
Thanks to John Horton at First Impressions
for our Loveland 365 pins!
Thanks to our parade participants - including canines - and the great energy everyone contributed to singing and marching and handing out yummy bubble gum and pins and flyers!
 We had a ball being in the parade! Members of Loveland 365 handed out flyers and buttons with the Loveland 365 logo. It was fun to have folks call out to us in the parade ... and great to be telling Loveland about our forthcoming book.
Notice the pin we handed out! It features a HEART made up of many components. This idea (beautifully executed by designer John Metcalf of JM Designs) personifies what Loveland 365 if all about - the many people places and things that make Loveland so special!
This is what we sang as we walked along ...

And places that you like to go.

 Loveland Receives Recognition from US Dept. of Veterans Affairs Veterans Day in Loveland means listening for the tolling of the bell that makes its reverent tour of town during the chilly early morning hours. Other celebrations are well attended, and our parade grows each year.
It is a great pleasure to post this letter of recognition from the United States Department of Veterans Affairs, which designates Loveland as a Regional Site for the observance of Veterans Day 2010.
Loveland is among a mere 45 cities in the NATION to receive this kind of nod!
Many thanks to Tony DuMosch, Veterans Day Chairman and the many Veterans and Volunteers who make this all happen every year.
DuMosch says, "This is something Loveland can be proud of because of people like you and me make it happen. Thank you for your support as we gear up for this years 2010 Veterans Day and special tribute to the Korean War era Veterans."
Here is a sampling of a typical Veterans Day activities in Loveland:
0400: Bell ringers hit the streets
0600: Posting of Flags of the fallen at Loveland Cemetery
0600: Posting of Colors Downtown Loveland
0600: OPEN FREE to public the Associated Vets Club @ 305 Cleveland Ave. View the military history of local veterans and more
0600-0900: Breakfast @ Vets Club
0700: Table displays & information for the public in Vets Club including Operation Military Kids, American Legion, US Army, US Navy, Freedom Car, and more
1111: Parade starts and ends at Dwayne Webster Veterans Park (Veterans Memorial site)
1200: Afternoon main event with Guest Speakers (In 2009 the speaker was Latoya Lucas, First Female elected Officer within the Military Order of the Purple Heart’s Department of Colorado.)
1300: Lunch served up by Squadron 15 Sons of American Legion
1300: Main hall entertainment with DJ music, Karaoke, & dancing.
So watch the paper for listings of this year's Veterans Day activities.
If you are interested in taking on an opportunity to volunteer this year on November 11th, contact Tony DuMosch.
