Libraries switch to e-mail from U.S. Mail to
save
In a move to cut expenses, Douglas County Libraries will
discontinue using postcards to notify patrons of materials on hold,
and items that are overdue.
Beginning March 13, any patron who has opted for notices by mail
will be switched to phone notification. If the patron prefers to
receive this information through e-mail instead, he or she can call
303-791-READ or stop by any library to make arrangements. The
change will save Douglas County Libraries money in postage and in
equipment.

Wanted: Class of 1989 members for joint
reunion
Graduates of the class of 1989 from both Douglas County and
Highlands Ranch high schools will conduct a joint reunion for both
schools in August this year. Detailed information is available at
www.dchs89. info.
Many of the class of ’89 alumni have remained in Douglas County
but are difficult to fin, organizers said.
“We’re being aggressive in trying to find our classmates,” said
Jim Sosnicky, reunion chairman. “We are sending out a lot of
e-mails looking for people. A lot of us have joined Facebook, and
we have a Web site with detailed information and a place for alumni
to update their contact information.”
Paint in France this June for 10 days through
ACC
Arapahoe Community College is offering an intensive painting
workshop in France from June 14-28.
The workshop, Southern France, Art 275-105 Special Topics, will
be taught by Ian Roberts and Marsha Wooley. The first part of the
10-day workshop will be taught in Le Barroux, a small medieval
village perched on a rocky outcropping and dominated by a 12th
century chateau. The richly articulated landscape is like a cross
between Provence and the Chianti region of Tuscany with its
vineyards, olive groves and cypress.
Ian Roberts is an honors graduate of the Ontario College of Art
in Toronto and studied figure and landscape painting while living
in Florence, Italy. He has taught plein air painting in Provence
annually since 1997. To learn more about the workshop, visit
