HOMELESSNESS IN ENGLEWOOD
Our speaker this week will be Mike Sandgren, who is part of the Homeless Initiative in Englewood. We'll hear about not just the problems but the proposed solutions to conditions that have worsened in recent years.
The Englewood Herald has been doing a great job of covering the issue. Here is a link to one of its stories:

Many of you met Jerry and Ann Healey at our wine-tasting event (and last year's). They own the Herald and about 20 other suburban Denver papers.
