Congratulations to COMBO board member Tony ‘T-Loop’ Molina and his wife Katie on the birth of their daughter Inez Magenta! She was born right on time on December 8th at 8:36 a.m. at St. Joseph’s Hospital. Inez was also welcomed home by her big brother Santeo. Tony picks our playlists each month and we’re pretty sure Inez loves listening to the song selections, too!

Our apologies to Lauren Brombert. We tried putting this in last week’s newsletter but our program wouldn’t load it due to some weird coding. But we did want to congratulate Lauren and friends on the achievement! Her song “Fight On” was picked up by ESPN. It features Mr. Phelps and Andy Ard as well. Listen here! Please stream it! Share it! Playlist it! Lauren hope it inspires and empowers you to persevere — no matter what! https://ffm.to/xdyodb7 | [Editor’s note: Lauren is co-host of the Denver Chapter of NSAI which meets the second Monday of the month!]

We had a really good time at our Holiday Pizza Party at Pietra’s! Board member Dr. Annette Cannon came up with a few good games to play while we were waiting for our food so congrats to Sierra Chirhart for guessing the number of candies in the jar; to guest John Greenhut, and to Christie Emery (whose husband Bill Emery is a new member) for the bingo win! She won an Hawai’ian styled button-up shirt with guitars, and a shaker! Annette also made up packages of home-made cookies for all the attendees which added to the merriment! Thank you, Annette, for all your hard work – and cleverness! We also gave out 3 gift cards ($50 and 2 $25 card) to Target to help with Christmas shopping.
