Hey guys, I know not a whole lot has been going on with this page, and I apologize for the lack of activity. We are currently seeking members who wish to take an executive role in SSDP Boulder County. Considering the recent decisions by the constituencies of Colorado and Washington, SSDP has more work to do than ever. The wheels of sensibility have been set in motion and it is up to us, as the future leaders of this generation, to guide our generation and the next to more sensible policies. To take a more active role in SSDP contact me via Facebook or reach me, Greg, at (720) 224-2783 or email me at [email protected] Good luck on finals and see you next semester at FRCC BCC!
