| Welcome to Mile Hi YESS ! We're a group of single, spirited
(as well as spiritual) men and women, 40+ years old.
You're invited to review our web site. You'll find lots of activities, a birthday page that acknowledges our members during their birth
month (you'll also find the time and place for the next celebration
-- please join us). In just a click of the mouse,
you can go to this month's newletter which is mailed to your home
if you're a member and if you're not -- well, check out the membership page. Members are invited to post items to our new Classifieds ad page (under construction). And then of course, we have a links page, a page that lets you know how to contact us, and another
page that tells a little more about us. Please join us for brunch every Sunday at approximately 11:30 a.m. at Chad's Grill at 2nd/Union in Lakewood (just south of 6th Avenue). Meet some of the members and guests and visit awhile. You'll find us a warm and inviting group. We always welcome newcomers and if you have willing hands and a great attitude, you'll find we have many ways to use your talents while you're getting to know more fun people. We are affiliated with Mile Hi Church in Lakewood and if you'd like to read more about Mile Hi Church, please check out the church website at www.milehichurch.org |
MEMBER SPOTLIGHT Our more seasoned members know that in the past, not only did she organize a YESS group talent show, she also helped plan several dances that raised money to help build the Mile Hi Community Center, as well as served as our group’s Vice President. Mary has had plenty of experience using her organizational skills. For many years she was an administrative assistant, later becoming a school teacher. After leaving teaching, she found her way to her current position working for a company that provides in-home care for seniors. Her enthusiasm for helping others spills over into all areas – including all that she does for the YESS group on a daily basis. Interests? She’s got interests! (besides us, I mean). Mary loves to travel and since she’s of German descent (with cousins still in Bavaria), she really loved her trip to Europe (bet she can’t wait to go back). She also enjoys reading (current events, politics and those can’t-put-the-book-down murder mysteries). She’s really enjoyed her time with the YESS group and some of her favorite memories are early ones when there was something on her calendar five nights a week. As our Events coordinator, I think she’s doing a great job of trying to get to that level. She says the people were so great and friendly, she felt really welcome when she first joined – like having instant friends. She does a great job of returning that "you're welcome here" feeling to all who meet her. I think we all agree, there’s just something about Mary…………. And it’s all good. |
Don’t call
her Sister Mary – unless you’re one of her 5 siblings.
And yes, she was raised Catholic and practiced that religion
until she was about 18 years old. You can just call her
Mary (or if you want to be more formal – Mary Carter).
She’s been around the YESS group since 1996, held
many positions, and brings a bundle of talents to our group.
The newer members amongst us know her as an enthusiastic, organized,
energizer-bunny who plans our wonderful events with apparent
ease (including our upcoming summer fling on August 9th).
She also tirelessly works preparing, printing, and distributing
our monthly newsletter.
