The Silver Alliance Thrift Store, located at 755 Highway 105, Suite N in Palmer Lake, not only provides gently used household goods, furniture, hardware, linens, books and many other items (no clothing) but also provides volunteer opportunities for our local senior citizens.
Tri-Lakes Silver Alliance is blessed with an army of volunteers who devote many hours of their time each month to help keep our senior citizens informed and engaged in the community.
Tri-Lakes Silver Alliance was recently awarded a $5,000 grant by the Operation Round Up program, sponsored by Mountain View Electric Association. The Operation Round Up program was formed to assist nonprofit organizations, communities with special needs, and individuals who have suffered from loss, personal disaster or medical emergencies.
At the beginning of October, the Tri-Lakes Chamber of Commerce made a very generous donation of $1,000 to the Tri-Lakes Silver Alliance for the Tri-Lakes Senior Center programs and general usage. For the past several years, the Chamber has hosted the best beer fest in the Tri-Lakes area.
On January 22, 2018 the Tri-Lakes area seniors lost a dear friend: Chuck Roberts passed away quietly with his son and daughter at his side.
On Friday, October 28th, the Tri-Lakes Senior Center hosted its very first Halloween party with close to 40 guests attending this spooktacular event. Raggedy Ann, Jack Sparrow, Santa, Minnie Mouse, Plain and Peanut M&M’s and the Queen of Hearts were among many of the terrific costumes at the party.
The El Paso County Sheriff’s Office will conduct vacation checks of homes in El Paso County for residents who are on vacation. This is a great way to add security to your home when you’re away for multiple days. Either a deputy or trained volunteer will visit your home while you’re away and check it periodically.
