Help-Portrait – Denver 2012

Its just the sheer joy of them no longer having to worry about what’s going on outside of these walls, once they are able to walk in and just feel like royalty.

“Very beneficial for all of us”

“We have Open Door Ministries, who have been very gracious. Paul Mitchell Hair and Makeup…Skadoodles from Castle Rock providing food..We have Santa Claus….Thank you to ProDPI who has partnered with us to be our professional lab…”

“The heart of what everybody should do, give back to other people.”

“We really appreciate everything that you’ve done to make this a spectacular 4th year of Denver Help-Portrait and the first year with CO Smiles…”

Final Denver Help-Portrait 2012 Volunteer Meetings

Hi Everyone! We’re less than 2 weeks away from our December 8th event at Open Door Ministries!

Anyone who hasn’t stepped forward to volunteer for the Help-Portrait event, please do so now if you still wish to participate. We need a full count of volunteers so that we can make sure all roles are completely filled and we can start printing name tags for all of the volunteers.

We are having a last call meetup for new volunteers this Friday (Nov 30th) 6:00pm and Saturday(Dec 1st) at 10:00am, at the Starbucks located in the Denver REI at 15th & Platte Sts. Anyone who has already attended one of the previous meetups is already accounted for and does not have to attend, but are more than welcome to come. If you have not attended one of the meetups yet, please check in with us by sending an email to us at volunteer@cosmiles.org AND attending the meeting on Friday or Saturday.

Also, due to a scheduling conflict, we will not be able to have the workflow meetings for the photographers and editors as previously planned. I’ll be sending out an email to the photographers and editors by the 1st with full coverage on the day of workflow and gear checklists for both photographers and editors, so please make sure to check your email for that information.
