Dear Friends,

It is with great gratitude and appreciation that we send you greetings from Rico, Colorado and the Fifth Annual Rico Peace Garden. We have just finished the cleaning and packing up, but are still smiling and celebrating the success of this year’s event.

We shared the Park with the Rico Alpine Society this year, and they shared their barbeque and picnic feast with all. We are filled with the blessings of coming together in community.

Our program of yoga, meditation, poetry, dance and music continues to be offered free to the public. Run by volunteers, and supported by many individuals, organizations and businesses, the RPG owes much to many.

It is in giving that we receive.
What goes around comes around.

Thank you all for your gifts, your time, and your resources:
