Let me start out by saying I'm a Senior Real Estate Professional (SRES) in Boulder Colorado that has a strong interest in providing Real Estate services to people in the 2nd 1/2 of their life. My interest in learning more about seniors is compounded by the fact that I myself have 5 generations of women living in my family (I know there are more like me out there, let me hear from you) : my grandmother is 98 (still with it...bless her heart), my mother 78 (caretaker of my grandmother who recently went into a nursing home because she wasn't capable of taking care of her at her home any more), ME ( listener of problems, counselor in training, director of research and in the middle of the sandwich generation), my daughter (who is direct caretaker to her husbands grandmother who is bi-polar and also lives close enough to her grandparents on her dad's side that still live in their own home and are closing in on 90) and wee little Sophie Louise who is 18 months and is running circles around mom and grandmom and great grandmom. You'd think we'd all be nuts ourselves by now....but we're not there yet! Read more and take a mental health and aging quiz
One hundred years ago, in January 1909, the Hotel Boulderado opened it's doors. The Hotel Boulderado has been a landmark in Boulder since opening new year's day in 1909. The hotel was named after Boulder and Colorado so that everyone would remember the hotel's location. In 1905, Boulder's city council wanted to grow the city of 8,000 people by providing a luxury hotel. Stock was sold at $100 per share to raise funds to build the hotel. Even back in 1909 the hotel had many comforts, all bedrooms were fitted with light fixtures that ran on both natural gas and electricity. The hotel had a huge coal furnace which was stoaked 24 hours a day to keep the hotel warm and provide hot water to its guests. Rooms back then went from $1.00 - $2.50 per day!

The Boulder Daily Camera highlighted today the economic forecast for the state, stating that "next year 1000's of people might loose thir jobs, retail sales will be sluggish and the state's housing market will continue to slide". This was released Monday from the University of Colorado recapping the 44th Annual Colorado Economic Forecast released Monday. By comparison, even though Colorado's forecast might be a bit rosier than the US as a whole, what was amazing was that Boulder County's forecast is faring quite well. Although not immune, Boulder County as been outperforming the state and national economy in many areas due to the "strength and diversity" of the economy which will most likely hasten the recovery. <!--more-->

During these seemingly difficult times (ok- even the press is calling it a "recession" now) it really makes my heart shine when I continue to read in the Boulder Colorado Daily Camera newspaper about people digging deeper into their pockets making sure that their neighbors have enough to eat. This year the Community Food Share's "Let's Bag Hunger" food drive has so far exceeded it's goal to collect food and money by 20%. The scary part is that the 20% is also a mirror of the increase in demand . I am proud to say that Boulder's Non-Profit Community is one of the best I've ever seen and one which Boulderites pride themselves. Continue reading to see a sample list of non-profits in Boulder Colorado and think about getting involved in one of Boulder's unique non-profits or maybe one in your community.
