Board and Building Update
Last week we had our monthly board meeting where we were able to discuss the plans of AF Denver regarding the building at Galapago. The architect who has been working on the building was able to present the options available for reconstruction. The board plans to make a decision on the options and communicate the plan to you in the new year. Thank you for your patience during this time of transition. We are eager to create a space that serves you and the rest of our Denver community.
Reminder!
The Alliance will be closed from December 23rd to the 2nd of January.
