About Us Six
years ago, the Community of Caring Foundation, a Colorado tax exempt
nonprofit incorporated in 1998, opened the doors of the Aspen Mine Center
to provide a “one-stop resource shop” for residents of southern Teller
County and the surrounding area. The AMC now houses some two dozen
nonprofit service organizations, either full or part time, along with a
number of others who pop in from time to time, often on the Commodities
Day, the last Friday of each month, when the place is really jumping with
people and activities.
Its
own talented and dedicated staff includes, in addition to founder and
executive director Mary Bielz, Aspen Mine Center director Ted Borden,
administrative assistant Veldean Petri, Client Services Assistant Hank Nelson and
program director Suzanne Core.
A major presence in the Aspen Mine Center
is the Teller County Department of
Social Services. The main floor was remodeled last year to accommodate two
social services offices and a small conference room, in addition to a
reception area separate from and in addition
to
the Aspen Mine Center reception area staffed by Veldean and Hank.
The Aspen Mine Center is also home to
Wes Kime’s Cripple
Creek Coffee and Internet Café, a popular place with locals and visitors
alike.
Upstairs in the Aspen Mine Center is the
large classroom, the Pikes Peak Workforce Center facility, and the Aspen
Mine Senior Club. |
