Love Letters of World War II

Letters made a huge impact on the outcome of World War II and life in the United States after the war. Not only did the letters boost morale and allow writers to communicate, many strangers met, courted, fell in love and later married because of their correspondence. This presentation explores the role of war mail through the love story of one couple, George Sawyer and Jane Remer. Every love story is unique, yet their story is typical of millions that occurred in World War II. The presentation explores V-mail, censorship, photos, and artifacts sent through the mail, and the soldiers' concerns and everyday life from the front. The presenter shows a poster of examples of World War II mail, photographs, and memorabilia, and the letters that George sent Jane during the war. Presented by Colleen Sawyer.

We have an exciting new partnership with Via Mobility Services that will expand transportation options in East Boulder County including Boulder, Lafayette, Louisville and parts of Erie.
This is a volunteer-based program and rides are based on volunteer driver availability. Ride requests must be made at least two days in advance; more advanced notice will increase your chances of getting a ride.
The volunteers do not have lift equipped vehicles, so rides are limited to ambulatory individuals who are able to get in and out of a car, walkers can be transported.
Available for Broomfield residents 60 years of age or older, or individuals with disabilities, an Easy Ride Intake form must be filled out prior to being able to use the volunteer service.
This new partnership is in addition to our current one with Senior Resources who have been and will continue to provide volunteer rides for our clients.
