PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE When you live in Soon, your current Board will be replaced by a new one, making this my last opportunity to tell you how much I have appreciated the work that so many have done. In presiding over this year’s Board, I had the great pleasure of working with a wonderful group of people who have given to Newcomers so much of their time, talents, energy and enthusiasm. I can’t thank them enough for all that they have done, but I hope they have some idea of how much I have appreciated all of their work. The Board, however, is not the heart of Newcomers. You are. The leaders of all the activities and the members who participate in these groups are what the Club is all about, our reason for being. Thank you so very much for your participation and for all of the planning, hosting and preparing you have done this year. As you have the opportunity, I hope you will add your thanks, telling those people who have made your year a better one how much you appreciate their contributions. When the new Board takes over this summer, its members will bring new ideas and fresh perspectives. With their efforts and yours, we can all look forward to another great year ahead! Gwen Haile President |

SPOTLIGHT ON ACTIVITY LEADER: Colette
Lambert (4x4) "Two roads diverged in a wood and I...I took the one less traveled by...and that has made all the difference." (Robert Frost) If you've been itchin' to explore some off-road mountain terrain, perhaps you should join Colette Lambert and the the members of the Newcomers 4x4 Group this season! |
The Newcomers 4x4 Group gets together in the warmer months
(typically April through October or November) on the 2nd and 4th Saturdays of
each month to tackle local mining/logging trails with varying degrees of
difficulty. Colette says it is very enjoyable to explore locations that would
otherwise be inaccessible. They each bring a picnic lunch and stop to eat in a
scenic spot with great vistas and
Colette, who was born in
As the only woman driver in the 4x4 Group, Colette pushes herself to try new
challenges. The group is very supportive of each other. They keep in
communication using CBs and "spot" for each other on the trickier
parts of the trails. If anyone comes to a spot where they are not comfortable
going through a particularly challenging section, there are often
"bypasses" available.
If you are interested in checking out the 4x4 scene, all you need is a true
4-wheel drive vehicle which has the 4-low gear (not an all-wheel drive).
Anyone who would like more information can contact Colette at 303-670-6835 or cowill@wispertel.net.

KICKOFF KOFFEE What could be a better way to kick
off the 2008-2009 Evergreen Newcomers’ Club year than with good food, live music, the
opportunity to win great “stuff,” and a gathering of old and new friends?? |
Race to your calendars and write in Saturday, Aug. 16, Hiwan Homestead Museum Grove, as the first event of the season….the annual, but now EXPANDED, Newcomers’ Kick-off Koffee! From 10 a.m. to 12 noon you can sign up for membership and activities while enjoying….
- Evergreen’s talented folk singer, songwriter and guitarist John Erlandson
- Yummy food and beverages
- Drawings for community donated items (we’re hoping many of you can donate fun door prizes for this)
- A chance to preview and sign up for the numerous activities available to members
- And, of course, both new and familiar faces!
Volunteers are needed to make this a truly festive event, especially since this is the most well-attended gathering of our membership and is a fun way to kick off a spectacular new year. Donations of door prizes are needed (consider a great bottle of wine, a book relating to our region, a craft, a gift certificate to a local eatery….). The planning committee also needs volunteers to help with publicity, hosting and hospitality. Please call Audrey Boyan at 303-674-4872 if you can help.
Remember….10 a.m. to 12 noon Saturday, Aug. 16, at Hiwan
Homestead Grove on
