#** Erin Robinson reported on the location search update. We received a proposal from Copper Mountain, CO, a ski resort, that is within our budget. It is about a 90 min shuttle ride to Copper from the Denver Airport. The group discussed the appearance, but many thought the location was good and given our struggle finding a location the group decided to go ahead and lock Copper down. Erin will move ahead with the contract.
