The Lakewood Pet Examiner Catches Up On the Cat Care Society's Colorado Rapids Visit + July 24th BBQ Event

Quoting from Lakewood Pet Examiner Carrie Dow's posting:

"Summer is such a busy time of year, however, some seriously busy people in sports took time out to visit the Cat Care Society last month. Colorado Rapids players Danny Earls and Marvell Wynne both took time away from defending their national title to visit the Cat Care Society (CCS) in Lakewood. This cats only, cagefree shelter is celebrating their 30th anniverary this month...

The CCS hasn’t forgotten about the rest of us either. On Sunday, July 24, the CCS will throw themselves an anniversary BBQ and everyone is invited. Tickets are $15 and attendees must RSVP by calling 303-239-9680, ext. 20."

DBJ Premium Content: "Working from home? - Be aware of liability issues before they sideline your business"

Quoting from the July 8th Denver Business Journal section, The Home Office:

“'It’s peace of mind,' Maggie Chamberlin Holben said of why she has liability coverage. Her insurance costs about $250 a year, and the home-based public relations consultant doesn’t have to worry if someone trips over her tripod while she’s recording video for a client...Holben has had clients, often those who receive state or federal funds, who require she carry liability insurance. She’s even gone so far as to get professional liability insurance, or an errors and omissions policy.

Her carrier requires that she indemnify herself in each contract, and the insurance is costly — several thousand dollars a year — but again, she said, it goes back to peace of mind."

DBJ Premium Content: "With VCs quiet, nonprofit helps fund biotech startups"

Quoting from the July 8th Denver Business Journal:

"The Colorado Institute for Drug, Device and Diagnostic Development (CID4) is playing a role left vacant in biotech because of a lack of venture capital in the state these days.

CID4 is pushing to direct the attention of national biotech investors to discoveries from state researchers forming new companies — a role area VC firms used to play.

“We’re trying to replace the early-stage buzz that we’ve lost in the decline of venture capital and create our own buzz about innovation coming out of Colorado,” said Kevin Smith, president and CEO of CID4."
