This is cool. The Wildlife Experience is showing older movies & included in the price of tickets are food & drinks. You can drop off the kids for a few hours while they tour the museum, enjoy dinner & a milkshake, & then watch a movie. Or you can leave the kids @ home while you tour the galleries, enjoy a cocktail, snack, & dessert, & then some popcorn w/ the movie.
Tickets for the Movie & a Milkshake series are $15 for members & $18 for non-members. Upcoming movies include Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, Surf's Up, & Bee Movie. Tickets for the Movie & a Martini series are $18 for members & $20 for non-members. Upcoming movies include The Princess Bride, Rebel Without a Cause, & Jaws.
I recommend either purchasing tickets online, ahead of time for an additional $2 for members & $2.50 for non-members or getting to the show early. The one I went to did sell out. For more info, click here.

Items of Interest
I was looking through the board's meeting minutes & read that homeowners who are late w/ their dues will be charged a $25 late fee. $15 of this goes to MSI & will not be waived. The remaining $10 may be waived @ the board's discretion. Also, the cost of trash removal increased by $9.45/household this year. This was in the January minutes.
In the May newsletter, Will is listed as Treasurer & Gary as Director. Not sure when they switched since there is no mention of it in any of the minutes. Will was researching investments for the board back in February.

Junk Mail, Part 2
In Junk Mail, Part 1, I wrote that a few weeks after contacting several bulk mail companies, the mail did stop. Unfortunately, Val-U-Ads continues to send mail. I called them & was informed they do not maintain a permanent do not mail list. Each time they purchase an updated mailing list from the Post Office, everyone gets added back.
While researching my options w/ regard to a company that refuses to remove an address from its mail lists, I came across the Do Not Mail site. It's an online petition to get the Post Office to maintain a list of addresses of people who do not want unsolicited mail.
There are a couple more steps you can take to reduce the amount of unwanted mail you receive. First, make your preferences known by creating an account & profile w/ the Direct Marketing Association. Second, stop the credit card offers by submitting a request w/ the Opt Out Service. Note: As a Colorado resident, you are entitled, to receive a free copy of your credit report annually (Annual Credit Report Service).
Finally, you are probably aware of the National Do Not Call Registry. Did you also know that Colorado maintains its own Colorado No Call List? Last October, I started receiving those notorious auto warranty calls & was informed by our state's attorney general that I ought to be on both lists & file complaints w/ the FTC & w/ the attorney general.
I'll follow up w/ another post on additional steps you can take to successfully deal w/ telemarketers including those who ignore the do not call list.
