How to stay engaged in Golden

If you’re looking for ways to stay plugged in to Golden’s happenings, here are a few suggestions:

The official City of Golden website is the place to go for information on city services and amenities, city government, and most anything else city-related.

You can email the entire City Council at CityCouncil@cityofgolden.net, and you can learn about and contact individual members on the Council Commentaries page.

At least two city councilors have email newsletters. To subscribe, send each an email: Bill Fisher (BFisher@cityofgolden.net) and Saoirse Charis-Graves (scharisgraves@cityofgolden.net).

A few of the Council members are active online:

Barb Warden runs the unofficial portal for all things Golden. It’s the website to visit for visitors and residents alike: http://www.golden.com/

And Judy Denison still runs the most comprehensive email newsletter in Golden with news and upcoming events. To subscribe, shoot her an email: judy_d@prodigy.net

Finally, my Radio Golden colleagues Pamela Gould (who is likely to be the new Ward 3 City Councilor!) and Matt Burde just launched the coolest new project, Golden Beer Talks. Their first guest was my friend Adrian Miller, author of a terrific new book called Soul Food: The Surprising Story of an American Cuisine, One Plate at a Time(and it turns out you can still listen to his talk even if you weren’t there), and they’ve got more talks in the queue (including brewing industry guru Finn Kundsen talking about beer and health on November 12).
