Please note that the benefit for COMBO speaker David Booker on March 5th has been moved to the Oriental Theater in order to accommodate more attendees. See attached poster for more details. David has been battling cancer for a long time and the medical bills are getting over-whelming. Please pop by to give him some encouragement. A $20 donation at the door is expected – but every little bit helps! BTW, David is the father of three young daughters who are having to deal with this as well.

COMBO supporter Mike Villia very graciously offered to donate tickets to the Elise Trouw concert at the Fox Theater in Boulder on Sunday, March 12th! Unfortunately – believe this – he has not been able to work something out with the theater for box-office pick-up as of this writing. We’ll let you know what happens. In the meantime, you can check Elise out here: https://youtu.be/0iAlaUUCfGk
