Please roll up your sleeves and help the patients of the University of Colorado
Hospital.

Discover The Power of One through year-long series
of community events in Aurora
The City of Aurora is launching a program Jan. 17, designed to connect and
inspire the community through a series of collective cultural experiences.
The Power of One kickoff event, set for 10 a.m. Jan. 17, will reveal more
details about the events scheduled for 2006. The kickoff event also will serve
as the official start for the program's first segment, The Power of One book,
which is presented by the Aurora Public Library.
The Power of One will feature four distinct segments: The Power of One book,
The Power of One film, The Power of One perspective and The Power of One monumental
moment. Through the year-long program, residents will have a chance to discover
the power that one book, one film, one perspective or one moment can have on
them as individuals or collectively as a community.
The Power of One film will follow in April, with The Power of One perspective
happening in August and The Power of One monumental moment wrapping up the program
in November, 2006.
The Aurora Public Library has selected This Side of the Sky, written
by local author Elyse Singleton, as the title for The Power of One Book.
Individuals are encouraged to read the book and discuss it with friends and
neighbors either at organized events offered through The Power of One book,
at their own book clubs and other gatherings, or via an online discussion group
that will be available beginning Jan. 17 at www.auroragov.org/thepowerofone.
Singleton will be making a number of appearances at locations throughout
Aurora in January and February-including the Jan. 17 kickoff event-to provide
readings and discuss her book.
The Power of One is presented by the City of Aurora Library, Recreation & Cultural
Services, in partnership with the Friends of the Aurora Public Library, the
Community College of Aurora, the Colorado Film School at Lowry and Barnes & Noble.
Kaleidoscope Aurora Council is sponsoring the refreshments at the kickoff event.
