Boulder’s Caring Community: Rock Creek Church
Jan 10th
Mr. Roth approached BOHO to see how he could help in November of 2011. When he realized that our guests had to travel several miles from East Arapahoe early on Sunday morning, when RTD service is not available, he found his niche.
Seventh Day Baptist Church, at 6710 Arapahoe, opens an emergency warming center for BOHO guests on Saturday nights. At seven A.M. every Sunday morning, most of our guests head into central Boulder to take refuge from the cold in public buildings. A Mapquest search indicates it is almost five miles from the church to the public library – a long walk any time of day, but a tremendous trek through the cold and snow with a heavy backpack in the early hours of Sunday morning.
Through Mr. Roth’s vision and the work of church volunteers, our guests no longer face that Sunday morning ritual. A group of vans from the Rock Creek church started arriving at Seventh Day Baptist and driving into Boulder until everyone at the shelter was transported.
“They make sure nobody is left behind” said Mike Homner, a BOHO board member and volunteer at the centers. “That is their philosophy.”
This year, in addition to this transportation service, Rock Creek became an overflow site for Seventh Day Baptist Church, using it’s van pool on Saturday nights to transport guests to their location in Louisville. They then transport them back on Sunday morning and maintain their trips into central Boulder for all who need it.
Through a flotilla of volunteers, burritos, coffee, hot chocolate and granola bars are served to our guests in the morning before they face the next twelve hours of cold weather without the protection of a home.
“Tucker Roth is one of the most caring persons I have ever met.” Homer said.
Rock Creek Church is located at 225 Majestic View Drive, Louisville, CO,

Seventh graders to learn Hands Only CPR
Nov 13th
to train more than 100 7th Graders at
Peak to Peak Charter School in Hands Only CPR.
WHAT: Hands Only CPR Training hosted by Peak to Peak Charter School. The training will be presented by the American Heart Association and is sponsored by Exempla Healthcare. The students will listen to Debra Steveson a nurse at Good Samaritan Medical Center who will discuss heart health, and will hear from a young woman who survived sudden cardiac arrest at 17 years old.
The students will be trained in Hands Only CPR using the American Heart Association’s innovative CPR Anytime curriculum. It’s a flexible, convenient, and self-paced program for learning CPR. The kit provides everything you need to learn CPR at home including an inflatable CPR manikin, a 22-minute DVD, and includes information about infant CPR and choking protocols.
The CPR Anytime 22 minute course is designed to share with friends and family, so each student will be tasked with going home and training others in Hands Only CPR using their CPR Anytime Kit. Peak to Peak as a school, has set an aggressive goal to have 700 people trained in CPR through this program
WHEN: November, 15, 2012 / 11:15am to 1:15pm
WHERE Peak to Peak Charter School, 800 Merlin Drive, Lafayette, CO 80026
WHY: Less than 8% of sudden cardiac arrest victim survive because most people who witness the arrest do not know how to perform CPR. It could be your mother, your son, your co-worker, your best friend, or your neighbor.
Five minutes is the difference between life and death. If no CPR is provided or no defibrillation occurs within 3 to 5 minutes, the chances of survival drop.
About 5,800 children 18 years old and under suffer out-of-hospital cardiac arrest each year from all causes – including trauma, cardiovascular causes and sudden infant death syndrome.
AGENDA: 11:20am – Nurse Debra Steveson, Good Samaritan Medical Center
11:40am – Q& A & Student Activity on Heart Health
12:00pm – Lunch break
12:30pm – Cardiac Arrest Survivor Speakers
12:45pm – Hands Only CPR Training using CPR Anytime curriculum
