PRESIDENTSMESSAGE

It is my privilege to serve as your

2014 ICRI Rocky Mountain Chapter

President. As a non-profit organiza-

#on, our chapter thrives on par#cipa-

#on from its members. I am truly

proud to say our member par#cipa-

#on is very strong through the first

quarter of this year. There are so

many things going on within our or-

ganiza#on from the successful kickoff

of our long awaited community out-

reach program to our technical pro-

grams to our very popular golf tour-

nament and clay shoot to many other

new goals we set that are currently

being worked on for this year. Our

chapter is off to a great start to what

is shaping up as another great year!

We have set several goals this year

that will truly propel our chapter into

next year and the years to come.

Our goals include kicking off our com-

munity outreach program, determin-

ing where we go in 2015 with this

program, start our very own chapter

website to benefit our members and

reach out to non-members, increase

membership 5-7% along with having

a special membership drive event,

develop a half-day or full-day semi-

nar, and put together a joint program

with our local chapter of ACI concern-

ing the new ACI 562 repair code and

notes. As you can see we have made

some big goals this year, but even if

we don’t accomplish all of them this

year, we are building a good pla5orm

of things to look forward to in the

upcoming years! If you have interest

in helping us develop and achieve any

of these goals, please reach out to

me or someone else on our board of

directors.

As you all know, our community out-

reach program effort comes to a

close as April begins. April will propel

us into the first of our two spring pro-

grams. We are also looking to have a

membership drive event this spring.

Our golf tournament will follow in

July and it has also changed venues

this year. We will con#nue to push

all our goals during this #me and I’ll

update everyone in our next news-

le7er.

If you have any ques#ons about what

is going on with our chapter, please

do not hesitate to contact me at 303-

431-6100, or e-mail me at

sneff@mar#nmar#n.com.

MEMBERSHIPDRIVE—COMINGSOON!

We are always looking to grow our chapter. This year we are

looking into having a bowling event membership drive. This

event will provide an opportunity for members to invite po-

ten#al future members to par#cipate. We encourage you to

bring someone and consider even paying for them if you can.

Currently this event is being considered to be held in May.

Please come out and join our chapter for this fun event.

Watch for an open registra#on no#fica#on coming soon!

2014GOLFTOURNAMENT—GAMEON!

Time to switch things up! Steve Williamson and Kim

West, who head up our golf commi7ee, have

worked hard since last year to see how we can im-

prove our already highly popular annual chapter

event. As a result, we are changing our golf venue

this year to the Black Bear Country Club in Parker,

Colorado.

All of you should have received a “Save the Date” e-

mail for this event. The golf tournament will be

held on Friday, July 18th, 2014 from 7 am to 4 pm.

Watch for more informa#on and open registra#on

CHAPTERWEBSITE

We are in the early stages of looking into developing our very own chapter website.

Currently the na#onal website (www.icri.org) allows you to get to our chapter page

where you can see a member list, any past posted newsle7ers along with other infor-

ma#on we may feed to the na#onal website. As useful as this is, current members typi-

cally do not think to go there for chapter informa#on and it is limited in what we can do

with it.

Our very own website would become a central place for our Rocky Mountain chapter

members and visi#ng non-members to go allowing us to communicate easier with eve-

ryone about upcoming events, programs, and mee#ngs. Events could poten#ally be

posted and managed on the website with online registra#on and membership verifica#on during sign-up. Our web-

site could be linked to our Facebook page among other social media. The na#onal website would be linked for fur-

ther ICRI informa#on. The possibili#es of its use are endless and will only be limited by our involvement to update

and improve it. .

Look for further updates on progress of poten#ally developing a chapter run website that would propel our chapter

forward into mainstream media! If you are interested in helping develop our website, know someone that can help

us and/or are interested in being on the website commi7ee to get our website off the ground and help update it,

please contact Steven Neff.

KICKOFF!

On March 4, 2014, aRer all the plan-

ning and an#cipa#on, our Rocky

Mountain Chapter of ICRI proudly

held a kickoff event for our very first

Community Outreach Program at the

Denver Children’s Home (DCH).

ARer friendly introduc#ons of every-

one present and numerous speeches

by those closely involved in the pro-

ject, everyone proceeded outside for

a “first brick ceremony”. Rebecca

Hea, Execu#ve Director of DCH,

placed the first brick which officially

kicked off the repair work. Everyone

then walked the exterior of the

building to get a general tour of the

scope of repair work about to begin.

This program has required volunteer

efforts from Engineers, Architects,

Contractors and Material Suppliers

from the restora#on community. All

repair work was scheduled to occur

during the month of March and was

performed by volunteer workers

from restora#on and repair compa-

nies along with general volunteers

from the chapter. The planned pro-

jects for repairs at the DCH facility

included drainage improvements,

sidewalk replacement, exterior brick

façade repairs, exterior stair tower

stabiliza#on, and interior structural

repairs.

BACKGROUND

A li7le less than two years ago a con-

cept was presented to our board as

new business at one of our monthly

mee#ngs for our chapter to help fa-

cili#es with limited money in need of

repairs. The repairs would need to

be completed at no cost to the facili-

ty. A commi7ee was formed to re-

search this idea and see how we

could make it happen. This com-

mi7ee consisted of Randy Diner, Jake

Holland and Joe Kline who provided

the major efforts that brought us to

where we are today. ARer many en-

erge#c and enthusias#c discussions

in monthly mee#ngs the original con-

cept grew into a real program, the

Community Outreach Program.

DCH, located at 1501 Albion Street in

Denver, Colorado, was the first facili-

ty chosen for our Community Out-

reach program. The DCH started ser-

vice back in 1883 making it not only

Colorado’s oldest non-profit organi-

za#on, but also the first. DCH grew

out of its first building facility and

moved into its current loca#on in

1902 when the building was first

constructed. As a non-profit organi-

za#on, DCH has had limited money

over the years to maintain the build-

ing and with numerous repairs need-

ed over the years that the facility

simply cannot afford on its own.

Many of the repairs needed are in-

line with the type ICRI members do

in daily business and as a result it

was a good fit for the chapter to start

a program of this nature.

Stayed tuned for more updates and

informa#on on our Community Out-

reach Program in future newsle7ers!

2014COMMUNITYOUTREACHPROGRAM

MESSAGEFROMREBECCAHEA

EXECUTIVEDIRECTOROFDENVERCHILDREN’SHOME

ICRI Rocky Mountain Chapter is a remarkable organiza�on that recently came together to help the Denver Chil-

dren’s Home (DCH) with a massive renova�on project. DCH is the oldest nonprofit in Colorado and serves chil-

dren that have been the vic�ms of severe abuse and neglect. It is housed in 50,000 square foot facility that was

built in 1901 and is on the na�onal historic registry. While community service and support have always been

integral to DCH’s mission, funds and resources for facility maintenance are o6en in short supply. Randy Diner,

Jake Holland and Joe Kline spearheaded a massive volunteer effort to complete cri�cally needed and long ne-

glected repairs including tuck poin�ng brick, stabilizing a stair tower, improving concrete drainage, and replac-

ing sidewalks and wheelchair ramps.

The Community Outreach Commi9ee obtained pro-bono commitments from engineers, product vendors, con-

struc�on contractors and material suppliers to complete this project. What has been truly inspiring is everyone’s

willingness to so generously donate their �me, exper�se and products. For many of the children they serve, DCH

is the first safe and caring place where they have ever lived. To see the volunteers from ICRI working so diligently

to improve their home was a transforma�ve experience for the children. They could not believe that adults cared

enough to do something so wonderful for them.

We teach children at DCH that it is everyone’s responsibility to make the world a be9er place. ICRI put this life

lesson into ac�on in a way that overwhelmed DCH staff and clients. ICRI’s generosity, teamwork, commitment

to community service have le6 a las�ng legacy for DCH.

Gratefully,

Rebecca
