National Read Across America
2024-03-01 - 2024-03-02
Each year, National Read Across America Day is celebrated on March 2nd, the birthday of Dr. Seuss. The annual event is part of Read Across America, an initiative on reading created by the National Education Association. Since the event is designed to encourage reading in children and is fostered through the schools, when March 2 lands on a weekend, as it is this year, the day is observed on the closest school day, which will be March 1.
This motivational and awareness day calls all children and youth in every community across the United States to celebrate reading. It encourages them to read where ever they are. Great ways to inspire reading in children include:
Keep books everywhere you spend time. Put them in the car, in every room of the house, and tuck them in backpacks and purses. Make them easily accessible.
Visit the library often. Knowing how to use the library and learning the benefits of a library fosters a love of reading as well as genuine respect for the services libraries provide.
Get caught reading. Children imitate what they see the adults around them do. Whether they see you read a magazine, newspaper, or novel, let them know reading is the cool thing to do.
Read to your children. No matter their age, reading aloud strengthens their vocabulary and language skills. It also opens up opportunities for discussion.
Have your children read to you, too. You never know what you might learn!

2024 VITA Program
2024-02-20 10:00 - 14:00, 2024-02-20 08:30 - 12:30 (America/Denver)
The IRS’s Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) and Tax Counseling for the Elderly (TCE) programs offer free basic tax return preparation to qualified individuals.
The VITA program has operated for over 50 years. VITA sites offer free tax help to people who need assistance in preparing their own tax returns, including:

People who generally make $64,000 or less
Persons with disabilities; and
Limited English-speaking taxpayers

In addition to VITA, the TCE program offers free tax help, particularly for those who are 60 years of age and older, specializing in questions about pensions and retirement-related issues unique to seniors.
While the IRS manages the VITA and TCE programs, the VITA/TCE sites are operated by IRS partners and staffed by volunteers who want to make a difference in their communities. The IRS-certified volunteers who provide tax counseling are often retired individuals associated with non-profit organizations that receive grants from the IRS.
VITA/TCE services are not only free, they are also a reliable and trusted source for preparing tax returns. All VITA/TCE volunteers who prepare returns must take and pass tax law training that meets or exceeds IRS standards. This training includes maintaining the privacy and confidentiality of all taxpayer information. In addition to requiring volunteers to certify their knowledge of the tax laws, the IRS requires a quality review check for every return prepared at a VITA/TCE site prior to filing. Each filing season, tens of thousands of dedicated VITA/TCE volunteers prepare millions of federal and state returns. They also assist taxpayers with the preparation of thousands of Facilitated Self-Assistance returns.

It (Might Have) Happened in Palmer Lake: Romance at the Chautauqua
2023-10-08 18:00 - 19:30, 2023-10-08 14:00 - 15:30, 2023-10-06 19:00 - 20:30
The Palmer Lake Arts Council premiers an original one-act melodrama Friday, October 6, 7:00 p.m., on the stage of the historic Palmer Lake Town Hall with repeat performances Sunday, October 8 at 2:00 and at 6:00 p.m. Romance at the Chautauqua is an original play written by Richard Sebastian-Coleman and directed by Gerrie Walker- Champe.
Set in 1901, the light-hearted melodrama features a cast of local actors portraying real-life characters Ada Thompson, daughter of the town’s founder, Dr. William Finley Thompson; Lucretia Vaile, long-time summer resident who helped establish Palmer Lake’s famous Chautauqua; and the town’s namesake, General William Palmer, who swoops in just in time to give the play a very happy ending.
Fictitious characters thicken the plot. There’s a truly villainous villain, Rob R. Baron and his accomplice Dinah Mite; and what would a melodrama be without a hero? Ours is handsome, virtuous Johnny Spudmuffin.
Save the date for this fun production featuring local historic characters from 1901 when Palmer Lake’s Chautauqua Assembly was the place to be in Colorado in the summer.
Romance at the Chautauqua is appropriate for all audiences. Ticket information at https://plartscouncil.org/. These pumpkin streusel muffins are a great accompaniment to any meal—or try them for breakfast, dessert or a snack. The pumpkin flavor is complemented by a sweet brown sugar topping.

Monument Hill Kiwanis Empty Bowls Dinner
2023-10-04 17:00 - 19:30
Empty Bowls Dinner: Community pulls together to benefit Tri-Lakes Cares
Empty bowls benefits Tri-Lakes Cares (tri-lakescares.org) a community-based, volunteer-supported, resource center whose purpose is to improve people’s lives through emergency, self-sufficiency and relief programs. As the only food pantry and human services organization located in, and serving the northern El Paso County, they are a critical resource for those in need. This year’s event will be held on October 4 from 5 to 7:30 PM.
The Empty Bowls program started here in 1992 when local potters Anne Shimek and Linda Pankratz organized local clubs to sponsor the Tri-Lakes event. Initially held at the Mennonite Church, the event netted $3,500 local artists produced 350 bowls for this first event.
Four years later, Monument Hill Sertoma which is now Monument Hill Kiwanis stepped up to manage the event along with their Serteen Club (now K clubs), composed of local high school students. Since 1998, the event has been held in Lewis-Palmer High School and students from several K Clubs staff functions critical to the event’s success.
Over the years, the number of bowls required has increased to 1,000 to match attendance. Many of the bowls are produced, start to finish at Clay N Colors, managed by Dusty Severn. Thanks to a generous donation from her landlord, John Dominowski, Clay N Colors provides studio time dedicated to this project, as well as materials, to potters one morning a week.
Ticket price has increased to $25 per person ($30 at the door). Tickets may be purchased at the Kiwanis website (MHKiwanis.org) or at local businesses also listed on the web site. To facilitate family participation, one child under the age of 12 is admitted free with a ticket holding adult. In addition to a hand-made bowl, patrons are provided a meal of soup, bread, beverage and dessert which are provided by donations from local restaurants, merchants, clubs, and churches.
This is the 30th annual Monument Hill Kiwanis Empty Bowls Dinner and Silent Auction managed by Tri-Lakes Cares. The project is now dedicated solely to the support of Tri-Lakes Cares which, in recent years, has received more than $20,000 annually from the event.

Acoustic Eidolon at Tri-Lakes Center for the Arts
2023-09-16 19:00 - 19:15
Fate has a magical way of bringing people together. Take the case of Joe and Hannah, aka Acoustic Eidolon. In 1995, Hannah, a studio cellist, received a call to play on a Boulder ensemble’s record. Hannah listened in amazement as directions to the recording studio told her to turn on a small road near her home, and then turn down her own street past her house!
Little did Hannah know that across the street and three houses away lived Joe, the greatest double-neck guitjo player in the world (OK, the only double-neck guitjo player in the world).
A few years after they met, Joe and Hannah both found themselves between full-time musical engagements. Joe called Hannah, saying he’d always wanted to hear the cello and the guitjo together. He had a feeling the harp-like sound of the guitjo, combined with the warmth of Hannah’s cello, would be beautiful together.
So on a snowy day in February 1998, they got together to play for the first time. What happened next was magic. Captivated by the music they created together, Joe and Hannah immediately agreed to clear out their schedules, start rehearsing full-time, and form what would become Acoustic Eidolon.
But fate wasn’t finished with Hannah and Joe. What started as a musical/business partnership and friendship blossomed into their marriage on October 14, 2001. Hannah and Joe (and sons Zach and Alex) became a family. Joe and Hannah joke that this was a marriage of convenience since they were already together all the time anyway! But anyone watching them perform can feel the love that draws them together. Their love for one another, and their passion for life, speaks through their music.

Escape Room: Let’s Taco ‘bout Books
2023-07-08 15:00 - 16:00
Presented by the PPLD/Monument Branch
Saturday, July 8, 2023
3:00pm – 4:00pm
We love tacos, so we stepped into what we thought was a taco truck. Instead, we found ourselves in the middle of what looked like a bookmobile. While we do love books as much as tacos, everything in this mobile library seems to be twisted, upside-down, and nothing makes sense. We tried to open one of the books, but they all seemed out of reach. We are in a library that won’t let us read any of the books and there are no tacos! We need to get things back in order and break out of this bizarre bookmobile to get some tacos!
Registration for this escape room event will be open from June 24, 2023 8:00 a.m. to July 8, 2023 3:00 p.m.
Allowed Ages: 12 to 18

We honor them for the independence and liberty they helped to preserve so that we may celebrate a brighter future.
