Schedule of Meetings & Events:
 

Our regularly scheduled meetings are always on the second and third Tuesdays of the month, held at the Lutheran Church of the Holy Spirit, South Wing Entrance, 6400 S University Blvd, Centennial, Colorado.

 

Second Tuesday meetings include a short business meeting followed by a program. Third Tuesday meetings consist of announcements and member breakthroughs followed by a workshop. On the third Tuesday there are often morning meetings referred to as Early Bird Workshops. Scheduled events can change, so please check back for the latest updates. And, don't forget, presentation handouts are posted for download here after meetings.
