Peña, SL Don’t Miss "Old Globeville Days" A Premiere Summer Cultural Celebration The congregation of Holy Transfiguration and the Globeville Civic Association are collaborating to provide two solid days of outstanding cuisine from Russia, Romania, Serbia, Ukraine, Eritrea, Greece and Mexico. Come to sample outstanding dishes and desserts. Linger to enjoy free live music and dance entertainment, craft and gift booths, art displays, children’s activities, an iconography demonstration, and tours of the 111-year-old historical landmark Orthodox Cathedral. In the past five years, this event has been acclaimed by critics as a premier summer cultural celebration in Colorado, featuring generous portions and too many delicious dishes to visit the food booths just once. The festival will present a continuous program of music, song and folk dancing from the Balkan, Slavic, Greek and Russian traditions that reflect the immigrants who settled more than 100 years ago in Globeville. Also featured will be African drumming and dance, Greek dancers as well as traditional Mexican dancing to celebrate Globeville’s current Latino residents and much more. A "Boogie Under the Stars" dance Saturday night (7:30–9:30 p.m.) will feature favorite American pop, rock, soul and country tunes. Information about the thriving and developing community of Globeville will be provided at the festival by representatives of the Globeville Civic Association, Colorado Historical Society, Riverside Cemetery Preservation Organization, Holy Transfiguration Cathedral and other groups active in the area. The festival is co-presented by Holy Transfiguration Orthodox Cathedral and the Globeville Civic Association, with the support of The Denver Foundation, the City and County of Denver, and local business sponsors. For the entire 120 years since Globeville’s incorporation as a town and subsequent annexation into the City of Denver, there has been a summer neighborhood celebration of one kind or another. For most of that time, the main celebration has been the annual summer "picnic" held by Holy Transfiguration Orthodox Cathedral, which expanded into an ethnic food festival six years ago.

Hampden Ave. Englewood 303-781-5082 Senator Josh Penry is gonna start sending is articles of interest to Colorado residents. Look for his articles beginning in our August 2009 issue. Here's some information I got about him from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Josh_Penry Josh Penry is the minority leader of the Colorado state Senate. Elected in 2006, Josh Penry is the youngest member of the Colorado state Senate. Even at a young age, Penry has established himself as a key driver of public policy in the Colorado Capitol and a new generation of leader in the Colorado Republican Party. Penry has been identified by the Rocky Mountain News, the Denver Post, the Colorado Statesman and national publications like the National Journal and Politico as a key player in Colorado politics. Prior to serving in the state Senate, Penry served in the state House of Representatives for one term. Penry is a native of Colorado and a long-time resident of Western Colorado. Penry graduated from Grand Junction High School and Mesa State College, where he quarterbacked the Mesa State Mavericks football team and served as student body President. In 1998, Penry was named the National Scholar Athlete of the Year by the American Football Coaches Association and the Burger King Corporation, an award given to Peyton Manning the previous year. Penry graduated summa cum laude from Mesa State in 1998. .Penry moved to Washington, D.C., to work for Congressman Scott McInnis. First as an aide and then as Press Secretary, Penry helped McInnis formulate and negotiate natural resources legislation. Penry was appointed staff director of the House Resources Subcommittee on Forests and Forest Health, where he played a lead role in negotiation the Healthy Forests Restoration Act with the White House and Republicans and Democrats on Capitol Hill. After returning to Grand Junction, Penry was elected to the state House in 2004. In his first term, Penry sponsored and won passage for the "Colorado Water for the 21st Century Act," legislation designed to minimize water-resource fights. Penry's bill, signed into law in June 2005, created roundtables for each river basin to assess and address regional water needs. In 2008, Penry was part of a bi-partisan effort involving Gov. Bill Ritter, Rep. Frank McNulty, and the Colorado Public Employees Retirement Association (PERA) Board to divest public pension funds from companies with ties to Iran. Penry also sponsored legislation to strengthen Colorado's education standards to better equip students to compete in a highly competitive global economic environment, and he initiated and negotiated a bi-partisan bill to invest growing federal mineral lease revenues into Colorado's colleges and universities. Penry has also been at the center of a multitude of other policy debates, including road and bridge funding initiatives efforts to pass Jessica's Law and other tough penalties against sexual predators, the debate about natural gas drilling in Colorado, and a range of tax, fiscal and budget issues. While working closely on education issues with Colorado's Democratic Governor Bill Ritter, Penry has been a frequent critic of the Ritter Administration's tax, budget, jobs and union policies. Josh Penry is married to Jamie Penry, also a graduate of Grand Junction High School and Mesa State College. The Penrys have two children, a seven year-old son named Chase and a three year-old daughter named Emme.
