GLA is hosting its nineteenth Living Landmarks Dinner this year. The event recognizes individuals and organizations whose dedication and support of Golden has had a positive impact on the City and greater community. This year Golden Landmarks Association will honor Pat & Judy Madison the Greater Golden Chamber of Commerce and Rotary Club of Golden. The Greater Golden Chamber of Commerce—Celebrating 100 Years! The Golden Chamber of Commerce strives to enhance and promote a healthy economic environment in the Greater Golden Area. Through their support of chamber members and businesses, through their collaboration with community partners, the city, county and state, they aim to enhance the quality of life for the community at large. We are proud to name Pat and Judy Madison as 2020 Living Landmarks. Judy and Pat both arrived in Golden in the 1970’s and it didn’t take long before they both became deeply involved in the community. Over time they have been involved with the Golden Civic Foundation, Golden Public Schools, Foothills Arts Center, Rotary Club of Golden, the Golden Fine Arts Festival and public art projects that can be seen along Clear Creek and in front of the Foothills Animal Shelter. Judy retired as a teacher of Ceramics and Sculpture from Golden High School. Pat is past owner of Golden Software. Rotary Club of Golden was chartered on March 24, 1986. After 32 years of service, Golden Rotary continues to attract leaders, share ideas, and take action on projects important to our community such as spawning the Golden Backpack Program to feed hungry kids, encouraging strong academics and leadership through scholarships, supporting strong ethics through the Ethics in Business awards program, and encouraging service by youth in Middle/High School, and the School of Mines.
