Calling lovers of all kinds, the 17th annual Chocolate Lovers’ Fling, a fundraiser for the San Miguel Resource Center, is on Saturday, Feb. 11th at the Telluride Conference Center from 7:30 to 11:30 pm. If you are a lover of non-violence, and I know you are, help the San Miguel Resource Center to end domestic violence and sexual assault in the Telluride community by attending the annual fundraiser, the Chocolate Lover’s Fling. This event helps them to raise one third of their annual budget. If you are a lover of chocolate, it doesn’t get any better than dozens of bite sized chocolate desserts from premiere regional chefs, all centered around the “TV Land” theme. If you are a lover of dancing, DJ Harry will be helping us move with his exceptional music all night long. This year’s theme, “TV Land”, should inspire costume creativity from old favorite TV shows from decades past, to cartoons, to game shows, to reality TV shows.
At the Chocolate Lovers’ Fling you can dance, eat delectable chocolate, bid at the silent auction, participate in the cash raffle, and support a great cause all at the same time. There are cash prizes for the best dressed and good karma for all. Tickets are available at Two Skirts or at www.sanmiguelresourcecenter.org for $40 until Saturday, February 5th or for $50 at the event.
There are two other ways to support the San Miguel Resource Center. Save your “Cash Savers” and donate them at Clarks during the week of February 5th- 11th and become an SMRC Special Contributor (please visit www.sanmiguelresourcecenter.org for more information on becoming a SMRC Special Contributor).
Tickets purchased on the website will be held at “Will Call” or can be picked up at the San Miguel Resource Center office, located in the bottom floor of the Ice House Lodge across from Smuggler’s Restaurant.

Twelve Colorado cities will host next year’s USA Pro Cycling Challenge.
Next year’s race, scheduled for Aug. 20 through Aug. 26, will begin in Durango and end in Denver after some 520 miles of racing that include five ascents of passes over 10,000 feet.
Several sources, speaking on condition of anonymity because race organizers will not officially announce the route until Tuesday, confirmed that a dozen of the 25 Colorado cities and towns that bid for host status won a coveted stage. This year’s inaugural seven-day race started in Colorado Springs and ended in Denver, with 135 of the world’s top cyclists drawing one million spectators along a 518-mile montane route.
The first stage of the 2012 race will wind 111 miles from Durango over 10,222-foot Lizard Head Pass and down into Telluride.

Scott is an internationally known, composer, pianist and recording artist. Scott was up front when New Age was just beginning over 30 years ago. He was one of the first Windham Hill Artists to join and toured with his label mates as they forged the way for the many artists that would follow in that genre.
Scott would call his music Heavy Mental or Cosmic National Geographic, even though he was one of the grandfathers of the New Age scene; he was labeled a “jazz luminary of the future”, by Billboard Magazine. Much of Scott’s work exhibits departures from the New Age field and includes a melodic blend of jazz, classical and ethnic influences.
See Scott and his trio live in concert at the Sheridan Opera House on Friday, September 30th. Come at 7pm for a free glass of wine and end of season silent auction/fundraiser -$16 GA seated.

Association of Realtors pledges $10K to regional air org.
TAR has given $216K to airline guarantee program since 2002
The Telluride Association of Realtors recently pledged $10,000 to support the Telluride Montrose Regional Air Organization’s Airline Guarantee Program.
TAR believes that the program is critical to the success of the region’s tourist-based economy and has been a supporter of it for years. Since 2002, TAR has contributed upwards of $215,000 to TMRAO’s guarantee program. This year’s pledge of $10,000 puts the exact donation total at $216,800.
“We’re pleased with the support from TAR and also the broader support of many individual TAR member brokerage firms of our air service development and support efforts,” said Scott Stewart, TMRAO’s executive director of air service development. “Air service is a critical part of the local economic infrastructure and the TAR contribution helps TMRAO continue its efforts toward the overall economic health of the community.”
TMRAO’s Airline Guarantee Program provides broader air travel options to those flying to and from the area. Started in 1985, the program encourages major airlines to offer adequate and attractively priced flights into the Telluride and Montrose regional airports by utilizing revenue guarantees, a type of cost sharing. Through donations from numerous local and regional entities, it shares the fiscal risk with certain airlines, allowing such carriers to better and more cost-effectively serve the region. This is critical in a place like Telluride because, due to their small population bases, Telluride and Montrose typically would not support the quality of air service they presently possess.
If the program didn’t exist, airlines would be forced to reduce their flight numbers/frequencies into the region, which would, in turn, drive fares up, potentially devastating the local economy and causing damage to the ski resort.
“Because of this community’s commitment to air service, and in particular the real estate community’s strong contributions, our air program has helped us through some of the toughest economic conditions in the last few years,” said Dirk de Pagter, chairman of the board of TMRAO.
To emphasize the Airline Guarantee Program’s success over the years, $175,000 was invested into the program back in 1992; by the 2007-2008 season that amount had increased into a guaranteed payment of more than $1.2 million from a budget of almost $2.2 million. In 2009, the maximum exposure for summer and winter went up to over $4 million, thus exemplifying the program’s success even through tough economic times.
“These are difficult times,” says de Pagter, “not to mention that oil prices are going through the roof and aircraft sizes are ever increasing. These factors all make it more challenging to service our small airports, which is why the real estate community’s support is so vital.”
