The Denver Chapter is excited to announce two upcoming events that you will not want to miss - so add them to your calendar now and we will provide more information as we get closer!

On Saturday March 14 from 6 - 9 PM, the Denver Chapter will be holding a social gathering to just hang out and have fun, but we can't forget it's St. Patrick's Day, so make sure to wear green! We will provide the snacks and karaoke machine - this is free to attend! No alcohol will be provided, but feel free to bring your own. Remember that we are looking to have a fun get together and this will be held in Tiffany Moon's apartment clubhouse right off the Oxford lightrail station, so we want to be respectful while letting loose!
On April 11 from 6 - 10 PM, we will have our 4th Annual Open Mic Night! As always, we are preparing for an evening of food, fun, and festivity! Tickets are limited for this event but will include dinner (in the past this has been catered by Texas Roadhouse), two alcoholic beverages if you are of age, and unlimited non-alcoholic beverages along with a sweet treat. More information on ticket purchase and signing up for your time slot to show off your musical, lyrical, rhythmical, comical ore any other "al" you can think of to come in March. This is a blast every year and not an event you will want to miss!

The energy is high at the Colorado State capital as over 100 individuals from the Natioal Federation of the
Blind of Colorado and the Colorado Center for the Blind attend the commurree hearing to support HB 1043. This bill will reduce discrimination against individuals with disabilities in ride shares by holding rideshare companies accountable through greater penalties, increasing oversight by the public utilities commission, and it will create greater transparency so the individuals with disabilities in Colorado will know that discrimination is taken seriously and addressed.
