We include events that are open to the general
public and are not religious or self-promotional in nature. If space is
available, complimentary calendar listings are included, when requested, for
events advertised in the current issue.
To have your event included in Our Community Calendar: Contact John Heiser at
488-3455, P.O. Box 1742, Monument, Colorado 80132-1742, or calendar@ocn.me.
The information we need is the day (such as 3rd Wednesday each month, every
Tuesday, or whatever), the time, location (with directions if it isn't a place
most people are likely to know), and a point of contact with phone number
and/or e-mail address for those wanting more information. There is no charge

Although we strive for accuracy in these listings, dates or times are often
changed after publication. Please double-check the time and place of any event
you wish to attend by calling the info number for that event.
The unpredictability of the COVID-19 situation presents scheduling challenges
to area governance entities and other organizations. Because OCN is a monthly
publication, readers should assume that information published in this issue is

Many entries show dates even though the event has been canceled or suspended.
The date indicates when the event was planned to be held or when it would
normally have been held.
 Items, if any, differ from what was printed in the latest issue of OCN. We apologize for any inconvenience.
