The 2008 Sand Sculpture Contest was a great success. Jim Gusek put together a great photo collection and the Denver Post did a nice writeup of the event. The final vote tallies are here (judges) and here (public/kids). If you have any suggestions or feedback for next year, please let us know. We will certainly try to put more space between the sand piles to give a little more room to move. Congratulations to all trophy winners and teams – everyone was very impressed!
We raised about $7,850 and had about $940 in expenses (mostly permits, insurance, trophies, & park entry fees). So, after the smoke clears, each of our three Denver EWB projects will get about $2,200. You’d be amazed at what that can do in places like Madagascar, Togo, or Ecuador. Thanks again for your support of EWB Denver!
SCE members know that Maury Albertson has been a fixture in the sustainable development community for a long time. His many life-time achievements mark him as a truly remarkable individual.
In recognition of his 90th birthday, Village Earth is honoring Maury at a Gala fundraiser starting at 6 pm August 23 at the Horsetooth Marriott in Fort Collins. Maury founded Village Earth in 1993 to pursue sustainable development in the developing world.
Dr. Bernard Amadei, professor of Engineering at the University of Colorado and founder of Engineers without Borders, will be the Gala speaker. After-dinner dance music will be provided by After the Fire.
Tickets are $60 each and can be purchased online, or by phone or mail. More information is available here, at the Village Earth web site.
| The Sand Sculpture Contest is the single largest fundraising activity for EWB-Denver. This year it is planned for Saturday, August 9 at Bear Creek State Park outside of Morrison, Colorado. The more teams we get to participate, the more money we raise ($500/team for corporate, $150/team for non-profit). See the event page for more information and a copy of the registration form. |

We are asking everyone to contact your family members and friends who work for organizations (not necessarily engineering companies)that might be interested in participating. Please take a moment to think about who you could solicit and let Jim Gusek (jgusek@golder.com) or Scott Allen (sallen@golder.com) know who you have contacted. Your help on this would be greatly appreciated as personal relationships can be very effective fundraising mechanisms.
