The Golden Concert Choir will hold their Membership Night tonight. New members are welcome. You don’t need to be a good singer; you just need to want to sing.
We are committed to bringing the joy of singing to Golden. To join, no preparation is required. The choir’s Director will have you work through some vocal exercises to evaluate your voice range and tonality, note retention, sight reading and rhythm abilities. Must be 13 or older. There are choir dues (special arrangements available). Subsequent rehearsals are on Mondays from 7-9 PM. The first concert will be in December 1, 2018.
The Golden Urban Renewal Authority (GURA) and the Downtown Development Authority (DDA) will meet tonight at 6:30PM in City Council Chambers. They will discuss possible projects for the Downtown Legacy Fund. GURA still retains about $2 million from the work they did downtown, when that was an urban renewal area. They have hoped to use it on a final, signature project downtown. They and the DDA, which is now responsible for downtown, will discuss several options, including:
Washington 14th to 19th (streetscape/ safety)
Clear Creek Trail Jackson to Ford
Parfet Park upgrades (events or otherwise)
Downtown Restrooms (contribute to reconstruct)
Upgrades to existing planters/streetscape
