Betty Graf moved to Castle Rock six years ago and loves it here! She grew up in small towns in Kansas and loves the fact that Castle Rock has that same small town feel. After liv-ing with her husband overseas for nine years, Betty was ready to settle down and live a quieter life in Colorado. Betty joined the chamber five years ago and is in her fourth year as a Chamb er Ambassador. She finds being an Ambas-sador a great fit since sh e loves meeting new people and

developing relationships with business owners. Betty has utilized the many Chamber networking events such as the Leads referral groups to promote her business with great success. For Betty, it’s a way for her to be “plugged” into the business community. As a Chamb er Ambassador, Betty is a part of a professional group of people dedicated to helping others grow their businesses. To her, it’s what life is about - it’s about what she can do for others. Betty is the head of her own marketing company through Reliv International. Reliv is a 25 year old food science company, committed to making a difference in people’s lives. W e all want to have great h ealth and feel amazing!! Through Reliv’s line of patented nutritional supplements that can become a reality! Reliv offers people hope for a better quality of life. It’s really Nutrition Made Simple!! As a retired nurse, this is another perfect fit for Betty! Betty and her husband, Harlan, recently built their ranch and dream home and love having their three grandkids out to the ranch. Betty was recently named our Ambassador of the Year, so it should come to no surprise that we are once again honoring her as our Ambassador of the month. Thank You Betty for all you do for the Castle Rock Chamber!

Nadine Kirk celebrates 25 years of selling Real Estate this year and it seems only fitting that she would be honored as our Ambassador of the Month as w ell.

For the past few months, the Castle Rock Chamber’s Government Issues Committee (GIC) has monitored, researched and discussed the upcoming Special Election, Referendum A and B.

Residents will be receiving thei r ballots in the mail after July 28th. Al though the Chamber did

not take a posi tion on this ini tiative, we feel i t necessary to assist in the clari fi cation for voters

to make informed decisions. This election is not an election to decide i f Open Carry is to be allowed in Castle Rock, but an election to decide who should have the authori ty to restrict

open carry in public municipal properties . You will see below the ballot language

and further explanation to the meaning from the Town in Blue. The GIC has expanded on the clarifi cation in Red.

A. REFERENDUM ON ORDINANCE NO. 2014-03 will read:

SHALL TOWN COUNCIL ORDINANCE 2014-03 BE APPROVED WHICH ORDINANCE REVOKES THE AUTHORITY OF THE

TOWN MANAGER UNDER THE MUNICIPAL CODE TO PROHIBIT THE OPEN CARRYING OF FIREARMS WITHIN MUNICI-

PAL BUILDINGS, PARKS, RECREATION AREAS AND OTHER MUNICIPAL PROPERTIES OWNED OR OPERATED BY THE

TOWN OF CASTLE ROCK?

YES ___ NO ___

Additional Information on A. Referendum 2014-03:

•A YES vote on Measure A means the Town Manager may not restrict the open carrying of fi rearms by the public on municipal properties . This means the authori ty is solely maintained by the Town Council , clarifi cation by the

Chamber.

•A NO vote on Measure A means the Town Manager may restrict the open carrying of fi rearms by the public on

municipal properties . This means the authori ty is retained by the Town Manager, clarifi cation by the Chamber.

B. HOME RULE CHARTER AMENDMENT will read:

SHALL THE TOWN OF CASTLE ROCK HOME RULE CHARTER BE AMENDED BY ADDING A NEW SECTION 1-5 TO READ

AS FOLLOWS?

Section 1-5. Consti tutional Rights .

Any restriction or limitation on the rights of ci tizens to keep and bear fi rearms enacted by the Town Council shall

require the approval of the regis tered electors as a referred measure under Section 15-4 of this Charter. This Sec-

tion shall not apply to Town Council action which makes unlawful the discharge or brandishing of fi rearms. This Sec-tion shall govern and control over Articles II and VII or any other conflicting provision of this Charter, and shall apply

only to Council action taken after its adoption.

YES ____ NO ___

Additional Information on B Referendum 2014-03:

•A YES vote on Measure B means the voters must approve future action by the Town Council res tricting the

right to keep and bear fi rearms. No further explanation by the Chamber

•A NO vote on Measure B means prior voter approval of such action is not required. No further explanation

by the Chamber.

Castle Rock Chamber’s Government Issues Committee (GIC) Mission:

To provide the Castle Rock Chamber of Commerce Board of Di rectors with information allowing the Chamber Board

to be a proactive voice and advocate for the business community regarding governmental and legislative issues ; facili tate communication and education between the business community, local and s tate governments ; and

promote economic interests which contribute to the quali ty of li fe for business owners and residents of Castle Rock.
