Need inspiration? Need help? Want to get involved in politics?

Do you want help?

Colorado 2-1-1 is a statewide initiative to provide information and referral service to residents in need of non-emergency (i.e. non-life-threatening) assistance. 2-1-1 is the easy-to-remember and universally recognizable telephone number that makes critical connection between individuals in need and available services.

This service has been operational since October, 2003 for Boulder and Broomfield counties as well as the greater Denver metro area. The help line/website, located at Mile High United Way, has the most comprehensive listing of non-profit health and human service agencies in the nine county area. The database has information on over 4,500 programs in Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Broomfield, Clear Creek, Denver, Douglas, Gilpin and Jefferson counties. The Information and Referral Specialists who answer the phone are trained to focus on the caller’s situation and refer the caller to the most appropriate services.

If you are having trouble with your own drinking or drug abuse, trying to live now with someone who has a problem, if you are trying to cope with the problems that are the result of growing up in abusive family, or if you have any other problem, there is help. In addition to the easy to remember 2-1-1 telephone number, the database is available on-line at http:/211colorado.org

Do you want to have more of a voice in Denver politics?

Get active in the major political party of your choice. Now is a good time, with the city elections coming up in May, and the Democratic National Convention coming to Denver in 2008. One good way to get involved is to go to a Meetup for the major political party of your choice. There are many, many other ways to get involved. Check out the GOP Calendar to the left. (Does anyone know of a similar calendar for the Dems?)

Denver GOP meets tonight, John will be there.
