The Telluride Medical Center plans to show off its newly renovated Emergency Room at an Open House. The happy event takes place Thursday, December 2, 5:30 - 7:00 p.m., including tours of the renovated facility. The medical staff and employees baked Christmas cookies for their guests, to be served with mulled hot cider.
For 32 years, the Telluride Medical Center has provided health care services to Telluride and the 7,500 residents scattered throughout the R 1 School District. The Med Center is also the only 24-hour emergency facility within 65 miles. Without the Telluride Medical Center, imagine what long delays could mean to a person in critical need.

The Sunday Salon that began at my Tomten Farm on Hastings Mesa in Telluride is an informal gathering to share ideas and inspire actions to create the world we want and what we need to live “lightly, carefully, gracefully, ….”
The Salon idea has been fomenting for some time. What we need is not just another meeting, but a rather a meeting of the minds at a gathering. Something not necessarily associated with anyone's job or routines, but rather something that stirs passions and in stirring passions, stirs the pot. What is it exactly that we are burning to accomplish? What can't wait? And how can we make such things happen? Or perhaps our Sunday Salons are just a great opportunity to spend time with members of the community who may or may not be regular playmates or part of your workaday world.

The Telluride AIDS Benefit has focused on prevention education and outreach since its inception in 1993. The next chapter in TAB's playbook occurs Friday, November 19, when TAB hosts Hope's Voice, a special program, exclusive to the student body of the Telluride Middle School/High School.
The talk, "Does HIV Look Like Me," features Hope's Voice spokespeople Todd Murray and Christina Rock, two young adults living with HIV/AIDS. Specifically the duo plan to discuss the realities of living, not dying, with an uninvited and persistent "companion."
Telluride's five-star Wilkinson Public Library has partnered with ITVS, co-presenter of the Emmy-winning Independent Lens PBS TV series, to present Community Cinema. The FREE monthly series begins Wednesday, November 17, 6 p.m. with "Deep Down," a film by Jen Gilomen and Sally Rubin about a community battle over a proposed mountaintop removal coal mine.
Independent Lens is an indie film fest designed to be delivered into the comfort of your home via PBS. Films come in all flavors: feature-length documentaries, comic shorts, highly experimental. The thread that binds is the spirit that drives the filmmakers, relentless visionaries who tend to ignore conventional rules of the road in pursuit of stories about people not normally seen on TV and little-known worlds. It's a whole different spin on the notion of reality TV.
