| Dear CSLC Members & Friends, It has been too long since we’ve seen you in person. With all that’s transpired over the last couple of years, everyone is finding new ways to mix online connection with in person opportunities. CSLC has moved much of its programming to Zoom since March of 2020, and while that has made our programs more available to people across Colorado, we still miss seeing you! We’re excited to announce that our first meeting of 2023 will be in-person, and it will be at a familiar location: First Baptist Church, 1373 Grant Street, Denver. This will also serve as our annual meeting, where a new slate of Executive Committee members will be proposed and voted on by our membership. We’re looking forward to gathering so much that we’ll be providing a light lunch for all attendees, too! In addition, we’ll have a great panel of presenters to share our regular fiscal preview of the 2023 legislative session. Come one, come all!
