2022 July 4th ParadeTLWC will celebrate Monument's July 4th Kiwanis Parade ON July 4th with a float in keeping with this year's theme of "Honor our Educators". At this time we have 15 ladies walking with the float and handing out candy, however there is always room for additional walkers so come join us! We have graduation hats for the walkers to wear and we ask you dress in red, white and blue. We could also use more candy (remember no chocolate that melts). If you wish to participate or donate candy, please email Linda at randall_vernon@comcast.net . Candy can be left on the porch bench at Linda Vernon's home from now until July 3rd. Our committee: Linda Vernon, Carol Gaskill and Charlie Ann Hayes, is excited to lead the float preparations that represents TLWC in our community. Thank you to Lori Forman for the use of her trailer and for driving in the parade. | We are looking for a garage close to Old Denver Highway where we could store the float overnight, July 3. Please email Linda if you have a garage or know someone willing to help us with this location. |

Caring in Action provides bag lunches for working homeless neighbors in need at the Springs Rescue Mission. Each month we make 40 to 50 lunches that include a sandwich, chips, fruit, drink, and sweet treat. We then deliver them to the mission to be given to those who are heading out to work. For more information on how you can help, members can contact leaders Charlie Ann Hayes or Ann Cook. Contact details are on the SOS/CIA Home Page.
Monthly Luncheon/Business Meeting
The May Luncheon Business Meeting and Celebration was held at Wedgewood Event Center and a wonderful time was had by all. No program was presented as we had much business to attend to! The 2022-2023 slate of Executive Board Officers was voted on as well as the 2022 slate of Grantees.

Our next luncheon will be held in the third week of September. More details will be sent out when we have a location, date and time locked in. When you get your emailed invitation, you can register through it, through your App events tab, or through the Calendar Page on this website.
