The 17th Judicial District officially launched a new drug court in the Adams County Court this week. DCG founding shareholder Gene Ciancio was selected as a liaison for the court. The problem-solving court is one of sixty in the state, that have been working to reduce substance abuse and increase the likelihood that people will remain in recovery and reintegrate into their communities as productive and contributing members. The court will begin hearing cases in early October. Adams County Court Judge Leroy Kirby will preside over the court.
A quick update on the DCG Relay for Life team… Denise, Marlene, Tracey, and Kim together raised over $10K for the fight against cancer! But they didn't stop there as they also received two recognition awards - The Team Pacesetter Award and for being one of two teams to raise over $7,500 dollars. Great job team and we hope those blisters are finally all healed up. Ouch!
Effective September 26, 2011, Donelson Ciancio & Goodwin, P.C.'s new public office hours are as follows: Monday - Friday, 7:30 am through 5:00 pm.
Congratulations John Long and Carlee Taga the winners of the 2011 Dancing with the Broomfield Stars! John Long is the Broomfield High School athletic director/asst. principal. Jenifer Madson danced for DCG and did a tremendous job in front of a large crowd and 7 other dancing pairs. But the real winner was the Broomfield Community Foundation which received roughly $37K raised by the dancers in donations (a new record for the event). This coupled with sponsorships should provide several grants to the non-profit groups in Broomfield in the areas of civic projects, human services, arts & humanities, seniors, and education. Congratulations to all the dancers!

This past Saturday, September 17th, over 25,000 Metro North residents visited some 100 exhibits at the 31st Annual Broomfield Days. The day was packed with activities including a parade, 5K race, a craft festival, food booths, and entertainment. DCG attorneys were on hand throughout the day offering free fingerprinting for children and answering questions. Fingerprinting only took 1 to 2 minutes per child and provided parents with basic safety information to keep on hand in case of an emergency. We had a great time talking to those of you who stopped by… Thank for saying hello!
For those of you who did stop and fill out a card we threw your name in a hat for two $25 gift certificates at Loftea Café. Loftea Café is a great little shop located close to our offices that we love. Stop by and tell them we sent you. We think you'll enjoy it too. Congrats to our winners – J. Ziegler and Z. Juliano!

While working with new and existing business owners, one question which often reoccurs is what type of protection should be obtained for the various types of property created by the business.
