Last week Barry asked: Who made your week a little easier?
RogerAustin and Rylie with these awesome photos! And Adam with the help on the app. Thanks all
AustinThank you to the Boulder community and everyone that is playing a part. I love seeing all the people in motion around campus. It’s truly a gift to be a part of this paradise. I’m looking forward to some indoor winter hangs.

Barry's question

It’s craft season. What craft are you into right now, or looking forward to?

Your favorite, or the one you’re about to start. Anything made by hand counts.

Type your name, write your note, press Add note. It shows up right here for everyone. Anything else for the letter goes here too: a thank you someone earned, something everyone should know before Friday, a question for the team.
