Foster Care Month
Senate Joint Resolution 37 proclaims the month of May as Foster Care Month in Colorado to recognize the work and commitment of individuals and organizations that help provide safe, quality foster care and services for children and youths in Colorado. It coincides with National Foster Care Month.
Every year in the state, nearly 14,000 children and youths spend time in out-of-home placements, including foster or kinship family care, group homes and residential child care. The children receive care until they can safely be reunified with their families or until permanent homes are found.
The resolution encourages Coloradans to support the work of foster care parents and volunteers throughout the state.

A tribute to dance to
As House members considered a tribute to the YMCA on Wednesday, Rep. Nancy Todd, D-Aurora, suggested members dance to the disco-era hit by the Village People.
“I certainly hope we get to do the ‘YMCA,”‘ said Todd, who danced with her arms in the air on the way back to her desk.
“It takes a village,” Speaker Andrew Romanoff, D-Denver, chimed in.
In Wadhams’ shadow
House Majority Leader Alice Madden, D-Boulder, suggested Wednesday stamping “WWDWD” on bracelets for statehouse Republicans.
She said the letters stood for “What Would Dick Wadhams Do?”
Wadhams, an ace political operative, is the Republican Svengali who returned to Colorado to head the state party after its recent electoral losses.
