PILGRIM WHEELS: Reflections on a Cyclist Crossing America
Aug. 23, 2016
A lifelong cyclist, Neil Hanson’s two-wheeled adventures have taken him across America, along the Natchez Trace, and throughout northern Italy. Originally from Kansas, Neil currently lives in Colorado, where he navigates his bicycle up and down the inclines of the Rocky Mountains. Neil Hanson graduated from Kansas State University in the Flint Hills of Kansas, where he studied Architecture and Psychology. A short stint with an engineering firm taught him that sitting in one place and doing one thing wasn’t working for him, so he began a meandering career path to which he’s remained true. He’s worked as a carpenter, truck driver, concrete finisher, salesman, operations manager, computer programmer, and project manager. His executive experience included several years in c-level positions. |

Colorado Initiative for Inclusive Higher Education
Aug. 30, 2016
IN! –Colorado Initiative for Inclusive Higher Education is grounded in the belief that all students, including those with intellectual disabilities have the ability and the desire to advance their education beyond high school. In this country, college is a valued and natural progression of development for students after they complete high school. College is a place where young adults have the opportunity to explore areas of interest, establish lifelong connections, and develop independence skills as they discover their unique voice. Historically, students with intellectual disabilities have been shut out of this important process of maturing. In 2008, Congress passed the Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEOA). The Act made the college experience a reality for students with intellectual disabilities by providing funding to 27 colleges and universities; allowing them to develop model demonstration programs on their campus. Today, there are over 100 college programs in the United States; unfortunately, none of them reside in Colorado. Consequently, students with disabilities in this state are forced to travel elsewhere to further their education. IN! is determined to change this inequity. All Colorado students should have the opportunity to continue their academic pursuits here in their own state. We are actively working with local institutions to develop college options and plan to have students on at least two campuses by fall 2016. In ten years, college opportunities will be available statewide and will be woven into the natural fabric of higher education. |

CREATING THE LIFE YOU LOVE
Nov. 01, 2016
Author. Speaker. Entertainer. Part bionic mover-and-shaker. Adrienne Bulinski went from small town daydreamer to college graduate to Miss Kansas to New York City professional entertainer. Nevertheless, her formula for success would all-to-soon be put to the ultimate test. After a tragic horsing accident she found herself with shattered dreams and a broken spirit. Her world had shifted from the grandest-of-dreams to the real-world reality of paying medical bills and questioning whether or not she would ever walk again. |

FATHER WOODY'S HAVEN OF HOPE
Nov. 01, 2016
The mission of Father Woody’s Haven of Hope is to provide food, shelter, clothing, counseling, rehabilitation and hygienic services to the homeless and indigent men and women in Denver; we are here to serve, not to judge. We treat each guest with respect, dignity and a friendly face. We do not receive any government funds and rely solely on donations and grants. Before anyone cared about the homeless, Monsignor Charles Woodrich known as Father Woody, became the voice and champion of the homeless. His story began almost 40 years ago in one of those cold Colorado winter days when Father Woody wondered aloud, what would become of the homeless? Where would they seek shelter? He decided to open the doors of his parish, downtown Denver’s landmark church, Holy Ghost. To the dismay of many of the parishioners, for weeks, hundreds of homeless sought shelter at the parish. It was the only roof they had over their heads during the cold winter nights. It was through that experience that he created one of Colorado’s largest homeless shelters, the Samaritan Shelter at 23rd and Lawrence. Fast forward to December 1998, when several lay Franciscans recognized a true need for services to the homeless which were not being addressed by any other agency in the area. They searched for and purchased the small dwelling at 707 Lipan in Denver from which to render services to the poor. Because of its popularity, and the increase in the number people serviced, the need for a new building became critical. In October 2007, a 5,700 square-foot building was erected. It was named, Father Woody’s Haven of Hope. A monument to the late Monsignor Charles Woodrich who died in 1991. With the new building ready to serve several hundred homeless guests a day, the motto has remained the same as 4 decades ago when Father Woody first opened his doors to those in need “We are here to serve, not to judge”. |

ROTARY SCHOLARSHIP - IT CHANGED MY LIFE
Nov. 08, 2016
I moved here without a job and started knocking on doors. Less than a month later, I was hired as an anchor/reporter at 9 News. The minute I walked into the station, I knew it was the place for me. The people were so welcoming. And, the station’s top notch reputation was also very appealing. Good vibes all the way. I decided I wanted to be a reporter when I was in high school. And it was no wonder why! I was nosy, was always wanting to know how things worked, and I loved to talk. One of my friends called me “motor mouth”. Since pursuing my dream, I’ve covered more than a dozen named storms and hurricanes, covered the aftermath of “Katrina” in New Orleans, and witnessed two executions in Texas. I won some awards along the way, but the greatest satisfaction has come from exploring communities and telling stories about some of the most interesting people in the world. I ‘m looking forward to doing that in Denver. And for your entertainment: Two of the funniest things that have happened to me? I met the late Tejano Singer “Selena” during a defensive driving class. And while sneaking down a hallway to go to a restroom in Rome, I met the late Mother Teresa - and even shook her hand. I also have a very funny nickname, that people in my hometown still call me today. I’ll leave that story for another day.
