Robert, who takes classes through Imagine!’s CORE/Labor
Source program, has been working on using voice recognition software so he can write his own blog posts, enabling him to share his unique perspective on life with his friends, family, and the community.
Participants in an Imagine! CORE/Labor Source KGNU music class have been using technology to create beautiful music. They are recording original songs and covers of well-known hits using instrumental sounds recorded as individual samples, which are manipulated by a MIDI file to form music tracks. To hear some of the tracks, visit: http://imaginessmarthomesblog.blogspot.com/2014/08/technology-tuesday_12.html
Rae, one of the residents at the Bob and Judy Charles SmartHome in Boulder, is testing out a new prototype for an interactive journal. This interactive journal offers auditory prompts asking Rae a number of questions, such as “How are you feeling today?”,
“What did you do today?”, or “Who did you see today?” to give Rae an opportunity to practice some of her communication skills.

How would you like to visit Playa Viva ? It’s a special destination where you and your family will enjoy the rugged, unspoiled beauty of Mexico and experience the bounty of the local ecosystem while actually helping it thrive. Perhaps you would like to spend a week in a five bedroom home near the beach in Cape Cod – fully equipped with beach towels, boogie boards, and all you need to enjoy lobster dinners and more. Prefer something closer to home? Spend the day on a private beach in Longmont and enjoy boating, canoeing, tubing, kayaking, swimming, water-skiing and fishing. You’ll also be treated to a New Orleans style crawfish boil.
A stay at Mexico’s Playa Viva is one of the many fantastic live auction items available to attendees of the 14th Annual
Imagine! Celebration Dinner and Auction.
To bid on these live auction items and many more, mark your calendar for Friday, January 23, 2015,
5:30-9:30 p.m
. for the 14th Annual Imagine! Celebration Dinner and Auction at the Plaza Conference
Center in Longmont.
Buy your tickets ($95/each) or tables of ten ($1,250) online at: https://secure.imaginecolorado.org/SSL/CelebrationRSVP.htm
.
Platinum ($10,000), Gold ($5,000), and Silver
($2,500) Sponsorships are also available. Contact
Patti Micklin at 303-926-6443 or pmicklin@imaginecolorado.org.
The Celebration begins with a complimentary glass of champagne, followed by hors d’oeuvres and a buffet dinner. There will be plenty of time to socialize and bid on the 200+ auction items that will be available. Guests will then settle into their tables for dessert, coffee, the program, and live auction.

As you consider your year-end philanthropic decisions, we wanted to highlight some other ways to make an impact on Imagine!’s programs. It’s always important to consult your tax professional for expert advice.
A gift of appreciated stock held for more than a year allows the donor to receive a tax deduction for the fair market value of the securities, and eliminate any capital gains assessments on the future sale of the securities.
Donate your old car, truck, or boat to Imagine!. We partner with another nonprofit skilled in vehicle donations. They take the vehicle off your hands and handle the appraisal.
Join the Imagine! Promise by remembering Imagine! in your will , and we will add your name to the
Imagine! Promise sculpture in the John M. Taylor Conference Center in Lafayette.
Contact Patti Micklin at 303-926-6443 to get all the details.

Colorado’s largest one-day online giving event is coming up and we invite your support. On Tuesday, December 9, 2014, tens of thousands of donors will come together to support
Colorado nonprofits like ours. Last year, a record-breaking
$20.9 million was distributed to Colorado nonprofits.
Imagine! benefited from the generosity of 91 donors who contributed a total of $17,425.
This year, Community First Foundation and FirstBank have increased the Incentive Fund by 300% to $1 million. By giving your support online (ColoradoGives.org/Imagine) on December 9, Imagine! will be eligible for a portion of this incentive fund. Help us raise $20,000 to support people with cognitive disabilities in Boulder and Broomfield counties.
If Imagine! is in your year-end giving plans, Colorado Gives Day is a great day to give. You can go through our website (imaginecolorado.org) or through ColoradoGives.org/Imagine. The only gifts that are ineligible are donations for which you receive something in return, such as tickets or sponsorships to our
Imagine! Celebration. Mark your calendar for December 9 – or pre-schedule your donation any time after November 1. Thank you!

Running the Imagine! Foundation will not be “just a job” for me. This opportunity represents the ideal convergence of my 25+ years of fundraising experience with a passion for the mission that comes from living it. When our family relocated to Louisville from New Orleans eight years ago, we joined the Imagine! family and our daughter, Emily, has excelled beyond our expectations. The services she receives have given all of us an improved quality of life.
I’m honored and humbled to follow in the footsteps of
Susan LaHoda. In her 14 years, the Foundation raised more than $6 million to support the lives of those Imagine! serves. You’ve invested your philanthropic gifts in an organization that delivers on its promise to provide innovative supports to people with cognitive disabilities of all ages. Your ideas and feedback are important to me, and to the future of the Imagine! Foundation. I look forward to meeting you all.
