I hope everybody got enough turkey over the holiday. Some good news arrived during the long weekend from Union Station Advocates (USA): The organization’s “Night in Old Union Station” fundraising event drew about 800 attendees and raised about $70,000 toward the revival of the Welcome/Mizpah Arch. Judy attended the event and has worked closely with USA throughout the Union Station redevelopment process. She would like to thank everybody who attended.
Additional contributions to the Arch Fund can be made by buying a light for the replicated Arch at $1,000 per light. The lights will be numbered between 1 and 2194 (the number of lights on the original arch), so you can choose a number that is meaningful to you, and your name will be on the arch. If you’re interested, check the USA website or send an e-mail to info@unionstationadvocates.org. There’s more info at the USA blog.
From the same source we learn that Havey Productions has completed Denver Union Station: Portal to Progress and be debuting it in February at the Hyatt Regency Denver Colorado Convention Center. Union Station Advocates contributed to the production of this film to help highlight the historic and future significance of Union Station. Click here for a sneak peek of the film.
