Golden Landmarks Association has announced this year’s Living Landmarks, and I’m happy to say that they include Goldentoday’s own DAVE POWERS! Here are this Year’s Honorees:
Golden Lions Club: The Golden Lions Club was chartered with Lions International in December 1942. For over 75 years they have served Golden, Colorado and the surrounding communities. The service the Lions Organization provides to the community includes annual scholarships for three students at Golden High School, participation in the Backpack Program, the Kidsight eye testing program, the Recycle for Sight eyeglass program and organizing and hosting the annual 4th of July community celebration in Golden’s Lions Park, just to name a few.
Dave Powers: We are proud to name Dave Powers as a 2019 Living Landmark. In 1988, after 30 years of professional fundraising in the East, Dave moved the family to Golden, Colorado where he continued his lifelong commitment to educational and non-profit fundraising and leadership. In Golden alone, Dave has directed his energies to the Colorado School of Mines, Foothills Art Center, Golden Visitors Center, Golden Civic Foundation and the Clear Creek History Park. In his “free-time” Dave pursues his passions of western history, photography and music.
Kathy & Kevin O’Connor: Kathy and Kevin O’Connor have been Jefferson County residents for 41 years, half of which have been in Golden. They have volunteered thousands of hours with many of Golden’s cultural and service organizations, including the Jefferson Symphony Orchestra where they both served on the Board for five years. Kevin and Kathy have also been involved with projects for Family Tree, the Golden History Museums’ Astor House and Clear Creek History Park sites, the Golden Lions Club and Golden High School.
