FAREWELL FUN FOR CRAIG AND SANDY

RPOA thanks all who helped make the farewell party for Craig and Sandy Ohlson a success.  The pot luck dishes offered a wide variety for every taste and the tributes to Craig were heartfelt.

Special thanks to Mike McLeod and Southwest Boulder and Stone for making the event area available, even supplying tables and chairs.  The entire McLeod family -- especially Brianna who coordinated the event and Andrew who was on hand to help out -- deserves our gratitude for their generosity.

Those contributing pot luck dishes and beverages included by Art Deming, Jonnie Fox Flanagan, Dale Duhling for the great "home brew", Gary and Sheryl Drake, Maria and Johnny Maneri, Lynn and Don Davis, Jerri Arganda and RPOA vice president Nita Pearce.  If we have forgotten anyone, our apologies for failed memory but do know we appreciate your contribution.

Those offering tributes included David Jones (Superintendent/Principal, Vallecitos School District), Chief Bruce Freid (Rainbow Fire Dept.), Jim Anderson (former RPOA board member and current Rainbow Planning Group member), Dennis Sanford (District 5 Director, RMWD), Art Deming (Secretary, RPOA), Bud Swanson (Rainbow Planning Group), Chris Smith (Smith and Sons), Jonnie Fox Flanagan (former RPOA board member and webmaster for the Rainbow Community Blog) and  Mike McLeod (former RPOA board member and event host).

The Ohlsons head to Texas next week.  Rainbow wishes them a safe trip and every happiness in their new home.
