Speak Out !December 23, 2015
HAPPIEST OF HOLIDAYS TO OUR INTERNS, VOLUNTEERS, SUPPORTERS, DONORS!
Before you are off to celebrate the opening of a new year...
Take the quickest of peeks inside and see
how we ended up the semester
with super readings from our super writers!
Wri t ing and read ing f rom t he hear t ...
The imagination
of the youth from Turning Point and Remington House
The hopes
of the women of Community Corrections
The memories and musings
of the men and women of Larimer County Detention Center
were celebrated in four readings
that drew over 175 people together in community
Thanks to all who led, wrote, stood tall, read laughed, spoke and cried with us!
SCROLL THROUGH PICTURES
FROM OUR WRITERS:
WHAT SPEAKOUT!
MEANS TO THEM
"I have not had an out let for my thoughts since col lege so this is real ly great ."
"I'm talented."
I learned "that I do have the knowledge and smarts to write, that I fel t I lacked."
I joined "to take my mind of f al l the negat ive stuf f going on in l i fe."
"Come back. Be aware the t ruth is not censored."
I write for "many reasons. I f ind that writ ing is of ten easier than talking. It is very soothing as wel l ."
"Thanx for not let t ing us be forgot ten."
Most ef fect ive part? "The people who came. They taught me that there are real
people who real ly care no matter who we are. Everything was
inspiring."

Jamie Lobb saw a blank wall outside Community Corrections at the Larimer County Detention Center, and her imagination f lew. Or... swam! She painted this lively mural with the help of dozens of cans of paint donated by Community Corrections. Jamie is not new to murals. She has painted murals in Costa Rica, France and Gainesville! Proud to have her art on the cover of the Fall 2015 SpeakOut! journal
