Our Business Of The Week
Alzheimer's Association

Glenna Phelps- Aurich, Executive Director of Logan County Chamber of Commerce, (center) recently presented the Logan County Chamber of Commerce Business of the Week to the Alzheimer's Association. Pictured: Connie Clark - Walk Planning Committee and Founder, Glenna Phelps- Aurich Executive Director of Logan County Chamber, and Peggy Stoltenberg - Programs Volunteer. Not Pictured Marianne Harbart - Programs Volunteer and Jessica Myers - Walk Planning Committee Chair.
… The Alzheimer’s Association was founded in 1980 by a group of family caregivers and individuals who recognized the need for an organization that would unite caregivers, provide support to those facing Alzheimer’s and advance research into the disease.
Nationally, Jerome H. Stone, a true visionary in the Alzheimer’s movement, was our founding president. When his wife, Evelyn, was diagnosed with the disease in 1970, information about Alzheimer’s — even among the medical community — was limited. With drive and determination, Mr. Stone took a disease that was cloaked in silence and helped to create a global conversation.
The Colorado Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association has existed since the 1980s as well. The Northeast region of the state has been served through a regional office in Greeley, with strong relationships with local volunteers and community partners in Sterling, Logan County, and throughout the region.
The Memory Walk, what is now referred to as the Walk to End Alzheimer’s, started in Sterling in 1991 by group of dedicated volunteers; Connie Clark, Kathy Kaufman, Georgia Kelsch, Nicki Johnson, Richard Ontevaris, Julie Fuller, Bonnie Waker and Dene Carter. This year, our Northeastern Plains Walk to End Alzheimer’s celebrated its 20th anniversary on the Logan County Courthouse Lawn on Saturday, August 28th and raised $36,980!
Walk to End Alzheimer’s allows the Alzheimer’s Association to offers its services at cost, which include access to a 24/7 Helpline staffed by master’s level clinicians, local care consultation services, caregiver support group, and education programming. Coming out of the Pandemic, stay tuned for a monthly education class and support group starting up again in 2022.
In addition to our invaluable volunteers, staff partners include Development Manager, Ashley Flores, and Kelly Osthoff, Senior Director of Programs. You can contact Ashley Flores at alz.org/co alz.org/walk , email at asflores@alz.org or by calling 970.387.6121 .You can contact Kelly Osthoff at alz.org/co, email at keosthoff@alz.org or by calling 970.387.6120.

Invest In Children
The Colorado Department of Human Services (CDHS) has partnered with Executives Partnering to Invest in Children (EPIC) to create a 5-month Design Lab which will help employers, or community partnerships that include employers, prepare and plan for the creation of an on-site or near-site child care program. Employers including for-profit, non-profit, and government entities are all welcome to participate. 2021 legislation (Senate Bill 236) created an $8.8 Million Employer-Based Child Care Facility Grant Program to provide support for these projects in Colorado.

Victorian Mourning
Join us on Wed., Oct. 27 at 10:30 a.m. for History Café. This month we will be discussing a slightly spooky subject as we look at the customs and
rituals of Victorian mourning and also learn a bit about Victorian Spiritualism. Following
the lead of Queen Victoria who mourned the death of her husband, Prince Albert for the
rest of her life, the Victorian people became obsessed with rituals surrounding the death
of a loved one. Learn about some of these unusual customs and see the O’Connell
House regaled in full mourning décor as we discuss questions such as “Why are mirrors
draped in black following the death of a loved one?” and “Why is it significant which way
a deceased loved one is removed from their home?”. We’ll also discuss the rise of
Spiritualism during the Victorian era and ponder whether these “spiritualists” could really
communicate with the dead as they claimed that they could! Please call the museum at 522-3895 and let us know that you will be joining us for
coffee, muffins and a little bit of “creepy” history on Oct. 27

America is where innovation thrives, and cutting-edge medicine is no exception. Right now, scientists are conducting more than 140,000 clinical trials across all 50 states to explore the potential of the therapeutics, vaccines, diagnostics, and cures we need to fight disease—from coronavirus to cancer. There’s no question that life-changing, lifesaving solutions are on the way - as long as we keep the path from mind to market as smooth and obstacle-free as possible. Because, as the data shows, the path is already treacherous enough. Today, investing in new drug development requires between $1.7 billion and $3.2 billion upfront - and there’s little guarantee for success. For every 25,000 drug compounds that start in the laboratory, 25 make it to clinical trials, 5 make it to market, and only one recoups the costs invested. Similarly, new vaccine projects have an average 94 percent rate of failure.
Best Business Advocates
Local Chambers of Commerce are our nation’s strongest small business advocates, providing a voice for thousands of communities across America. When businesses succeed, communities succeed, and local chambers are there every step of the way empowering businesses to grow and thrive even in the most challenging of circumstances. That’s why the U.S. Chamber of Commerce is proud to celebrate “Support Your Local Chamber Day” on Oct. 20. Over the course of the last year, local chambers, with support from the U.S. Chamber, led the way in helping small businesses safely reopen and put them on a path to recover from the devastating effects of the COVID-19 Best Support

Americans Need Government IT Systems
Technology continues to change each individual's way of living, including how we interact with the government. In 2001, only 30% of the American public e-filed their taxes; in 2019, the number roseto over 90%. As technology quickly develops, so do its uses within the federal government to better serve the American public with creative and innovative front-facing solutions. However, federal information technology (IT) has not been able to keep up with the private sector or our increasingly digital way of life.
Join Employers To Protect Workers
America's business community plays a critical role in combatting the pandemic. Now that safe and effective vaccines are available, every business must rally around a common goal: accelerate vaccinations, reopen safely, and defeat the pandemic. Employers across the country are taking vital
steps to get the country back to health—and we are committed to providing you the expert guidance
and resources you need to get the job done. Join the Rally for Recovery today. Rally for Recovery Commitment, a U.S. Chamber-led program encouraging every company and organization to take three basic, but important, steps to get the country back to health and American workers back to work.

Colorado Increasing Minimum Wage In 2022
The Colorado Department of Labor and Employment’s (CDLE) Division of Labor Standards and Statistics (DLSS) announced the proposed new Colorado minimum wage, currently at $12.32 for 2021, will rise on January 1, 2022 to $12.56, or $9.54 for those receiving enough in tips for total pay to meet or exceed the full minimum wage. Annually inflation-adjusting the minimum wage is mandated by a section of the Colorado Constitution that Colorado voters adopted in a 2006 ballot measure (with the exception of 2017-20, when the minimum wage rose by larger amounts due to another ballot measure, in 2016, raising the minimum wage by 90-99 cents annually until it reached $12.00 by 2020).
