Keller Williams and Hope Realty Merger
Keller Williams Premier and Hope Realty in Colorado Springs have combined to form Keller Williams Hope Realty, the city's newest multi-million dollar real estate company. By combining their two companies, Robert Edgin and Rick Guthrie aim to cut expenses while doubling their agent count to put them in the top 2% of Real Estate companies in terms of agents in Colorado Springs.
Keller Williams Hope is currently looking for a new downtown location. The feeling is that the centralized location and accessability for area professionals makes downtown an ideal office and meeting place. The company has established a "hot line" for interested Realtors at 877-455-9869. The grand opening should take place later this fall.

Dr. Elliott Cohn Receives Honor
Peak Vista Community Health Centers is pleased to announce that Colorado Community Health Centers has honored Dr. Elliott Cohn, a long time volunteer for Peak Vista, with the 2008 Volunteer Clinician Award.
Dr. Cohn has volunteered with Peak Vista for close to 20 years. During his first twelve years, he saw patients one half day every six weeks, rotating twice a month with two of his partners. Over the years, his physician partners joined in the rotation and in 2001 he helped recruit a second urology practice in Colorado Springs for their volunteer support. He has seen nearly 1000 urology patients while volunteering at Peak Vista and has performed countless urological procedures and surgeries for their patients.
Free HeadStart for low income and special needs families
The Urban League Child Development Center is currently enrolling children and families in its Free HeadStart Program (in partnership with Community Partnership for Child Development). If you or someone you know has a child, ages 3 or 4 years old, that qualifies (see info below), please call 471-1930.
Classroom activities are interactive and age appropriate, and all children receive medical and dental screenings and nutrition guidance. Families may participate in parenting workshops, a variety of literacy classes, and in their child’s classroom as a volunteer.
Who qualifies for HeadStart program? Children must be 3 or 4 years old for Head Start preschool. (Three years of age by October 1st for most school districts.
The child automatically qualifies for Head Start if:
* Family receives TANF
* Family received Food Stamps
* He/she is in foster care
* Family receives SSI
* She/he has special needs
* If none of the above applies, the child's family income must not exceed 100% of Federal Poverty Guidelines
As the nation’s premier early childhood education program, Head Start offers a broad range of services for children ages three to five who reside in low-income families, and children who have special needs and their families. The program assists each child to develop cognitively, emotionally, physically, and socially and involves the entire family in the child’s development.
The overall goal of the program is to work in partnership with parents to prepare each child for success in school so they will grow up to be contributing members of the community. Head Start assists parents in their role as their child’s first and best teacher by offering services and opportunities expressly for them.
Head Start classrooms provide children with a specialized curriculum that offers the opportunity to work and play individually and in small groups, according to their abilities and interests. “Learning through play” is an important aspect of the program and these experiences help to build basic pre-math and pre-reading skills, self-confidence, and a love for learning.
The Urban League confers with CPCD/HeadStart:
Now is the time to educate the child… What a child learns and experiences from the day they are born until the day they enter kindergarten directly impacts their success in school and in life. These experiences set the stage as development occurs rapidly and dynamically during the early years of life. Now is the time to provide and support comprehensive early care and education with family support for our community’s youngest children.
Affordable year-round child care is also available with Head Start or Early Head Start in center-based or family child care options for children six weeks to five years.
