| CPHC Newsletter Hello and Happy January! There will not be a newsletter next week. We are going to where the weather suits our clothes! ****************************************************************************************** January Events ****************************************************************************************** Thank you to all who attended the January Club Meeting last weekend! We raised almost $500 for the charity Save a Gato. We will deliver the check to them in San Juan on Saturday morning at 9am. In case you missed it, the charity this month was for Save a Gato, of Puerto Rico. Several of our club members are going on a cruise next week, and that cruise leaves out of Puerto Rico, so we will be able to deliver the money directly to Save a Gato. Puerto Rico has had a lot of earth quakes lately, and they have a huge need for help with stray and homeless cats. Save A Gato (SAG) was created in 2004 to address the booming cat population around historic Old San Juan, particularly around the Paseo del Morro pathway. SAG is the only non-profit organization that has an agreement with The National Park Service to manage a colony of cats on national park land. (A BIG thanks to the NPS!). Trap, neuter and return (TNR) has worked wonderfully to reduce the size of the cat colony around El Morro by 50% since 2004. Save A Gato (SAG) is a non-profit organization dedicated to the welfare and care of the cats of Old San Juan through TNR, fostering, and adoption. Save A Gato manages the colony of cats on the Paseo del Morro and the rest of Old San Juan. ****************************************************************************************** February Events ****************************************************************************************** Fundraiser: Someplace Else Brewery in Arvada 6425 W 52nd Ave #6 February 8, 2020 Someplace Else will be hosting fundraisers for Keira’s family.

Events ****************************************************************************************** Jeff Dunham is coming to the 1ST BANK Center (Broomfield Events Center) on April 4. Several in our group are interested in going, so we checked into group tickets. They don’t really have a group ticket sales up there, and we were not able to get a large group of tickets, but we did manage to get a few. We have a very limited number, so we will sell them on a first come first serve basis. The cost is $75 each. Sorry we can’t accommodate everyone, but there are still tickets for sale, so if you’d like to go, and can’t fit into our limited number, please buy some tickets online. It will be a very fun night. “Jeffafa” is a SUPER funny! Contact Robin if you’d like to buy tickets. (by replying to this email) ****************************************************************************************** 2020 Membership Dues are upon us!!
