APRIL ANNOUNCEMENTS

Brandy has been appointed by Boulder City Council to the Boulder Arts Commission for a five year, volunteer term. She is looking forward to working with Director Donna Gartenmann.

DID YOU HEAR THE ONE ABOUT BOZA?!

Brandy and three other qualified candidates, ran for BoZA (Board of Zoning Appeals). . . but were shut down by City Council (with exception of Suzy Ageton and Angelique Espinoza).

I encourage all of you who live in the City of Boulder to apply for the open BoZA possition. Especially if you are "architect/developer" types. Wouldn't it be interesting if the Council got 20 or 30 more qualified applicants to choose from?

DUE by 5:00 pm 4/17/09
