Vouchers for Veterans
Qualified Listeners, a Veteran & Family Resource Hub serving northern Colorado and southern Wyoming, has partnered with ARC Thrift Stores and Canvas Credit Union to provide vouchers for Veterans to any ARC Thrift Store in Colorado.
The vouchers allow Veterans to purchase a complete clothing ensemble for job interviews, work, weddings, funerals, etc. This program is especially appropriate for recently discharged Veterans transitioning back into civilian life on a tight budget. If clothing isn’t needed the voucher can be used for other items in the store.
The process is simple, just email
Resource@qualifiedlisteners.org
a copy of your DD-214, VA card, VFW, DAV, or American Legion membership card along with your phone number and mailing address, we’ll mail you a voucher. One voucher per Veteran.
This program is another service to all Veterans from Qualified Listeners. For more information call 720-600-0860 or visit
www.QualifiedListeners.org

If you’re a Veteran or family member needing assistance and feel stuck because everyone else has told you no, give us a call.
We’re not the VA, therapists, or counselors; we’re a resource hub. Our job is to listen to your need and align you with vetted resources that can assist and move you forward in resolving your issue whether it’s VA or non-VA related.

WELD COUNTY AG REMAINS THE FOCUS OF THE 102
ND
WELD COUNTY FAIR
WELD COUNTY, CO — Despite the challenges presented by COVID-19, the Weld County Board of Commissioners is proud to announce that the 102
nd
Weld County Fair will be held this summer – albeit a bit differently than ever before.
“The board felt it was imperative, as the number one agricultural county in the state, that we find a way to hold the fair for the youth who have worked hard preparing the projects for this event,” said Commissioner Chair Mike Freeman.
This year, the fair will be open to exhibitors and their families so as to allow for the completion of 4-H and FFA projects. General public and vendors will not be able to attend this year nor will there be open class exhibits.
“We are disappointed that circumstances don’t allow for our usual celebration of the fair this year,” said Commissioner Barbara Kirkmeyer, coordinator for the Extension Department. “However, we are committed to the young people, who are the future leaders in agriculture in this county and want to make sure they have a chance to compete.”
Dates of the Weld County Fair remain the same – July 24 through August 3. Several livestock shows will be livestreamed online via Barn Media. Visit
https://livestream.com/barnmedia/2020wcf
to participate. Shows are as follows:
- Market & Breeding Goat Show - Wednesday, July 29 at 9:00 a.m.
- Dairy Cattle Show – Thursday, July 30 at 8:00 a.m.
- Market & Breeding Sheep Show – Thursday, July 30 at 9:00 a.m.
- Beef Showmanship – Thursday, July 30 at 5:00 p.m.
- Market Beef Show – Friday, July 31 at 8:00 a.m.
- Breeding Beef Show – Friday, July 31 at 1:00 p.m.
- Market & Breeding Swine Show – Saturday, August 1 at 8:00 a.m.
“The Weld County Fair remains a traditional event showcasing Weld County’s agricultural roots and heritage,” said Freeman. “We’re not letting COVID-19 take this tradition away.”

Peak Form Medical Clinic Integrates Contact-less Temperature Screening Kiosk for Patients and Staff
|
Peak Form Medical Clinic, an essential business providing worker’s compensation injury care, physical therapy, and drug screening throughout the pandemic has instituted the use of a contact-less kiosk to accurately measure temperature of
patients and staff to aid in the check-in process to further minimize exposure risk in clinic.
The device includes a function which will identify staff and automatically log their temperatures prior to starting their shift. In addition, patient’s temperatures will be checked prior to entering the clinic, and the kiosk will be able to detect whether patients are wearing a mask and if not, the
device will verbally prompt them to put one on.
“We feel the investment of instituting the kiosk speaks directly to our mission and will provide patients and employers we partner with the confidence to continue to seek the medical services they need,” says Jeanette Hrubes, owner and CEO.
|
|
The Clinic has all CDC recommended safety guidelines in place to protect patients and staff; such as wearing masks and reducing the number of people in the clinic at any one time to maintain social distancing. The use of the high-tech kiosk will further enhance the protections to safely provide comprehensive care with a personal touch through promoting the health and
productivity of workers, their families and communities.
