 February 3, 2010 Dear Friends of Preservation: On behalf of the historic preservation and archaeology community, we invite you to participate in the celebration of Colorado’s rich heritage during Archaeology and Historic Preservation Month in May. The theme for this year is “Pathways to Colorado’s Heritage”. Please consider sponsoring a local event to assist in preserving the places that matter most to your community. As part of the nationwide Preservation Month, you have an opportunity to sponsor an event educating the public about the most precious archaeological and/or architectural cultural resources in our state. We have once again produced a commemorative poster for distribution and will prepare a calendar of events, which vary from site tours and lectures by professionals to children’s exhibits. Your partnership and support are vital to the protection and appreciation of Colorado’s historical nd archaeological sites. In 2009, there were 88 events throughout the State. We are unable to offer financial assistance in the form of grants this year, but the Colorado Office of Archaeology and Historic Preservation will continue to help by promoting your events throughout the State. If you are able to support your community by hosting an event during the month of May, we want to include your event in the master calendar. We will be distributing commemorative posters and printed copies of the master calendar to every sponsor. We will also post all your preservation events on the website coloradohistory-oahp.org and introduce your events to newspapers in your county. For your convenience, there are three ways to submit your Calendar of Events information form. After you complete the hard copy form or electronic form found on-line at coloradohistory-oahp.org you may mail it to the address on this letter, fax it to 303/866-2711, or e-mail it to lori.devanaussi@chs.state.co.us. Please submit your completed Calendar of Events form to our office no later than 12:00 pm on March 15, 2010. Any event submitted after the deadline will be included in the on-line calendar but will not be included in the printed version. We look forward to your participation. For more information, contact the Office of Archaeology and Historic Preservation at 303/866-3392 or e-mail questions to lori.devanaussi@chs.state.co.us. Sincerely, Susan Collins
