Since 1985, The Wells Group has hosted its Annual Holiday Party for clients, friends, business associates, and community members. Our first party was held in the front office at 901 Main Avenue. It's hard to believe that this annual party could once fit in our Main Avenue space. Last year, as had become customary, party goers overflowed the entire Strater Hotel and Diamond Circle Theatre.

Our holiday parties have served two purposes:  the opportunity to thank our clients  for their patronage and increase our contributions to the community we serve. In fact, thanks to the voluntary contributions of guests and brokers who attended, we have contributed many thousands of dollars to designated local charitable organizations each year.

The very success of the party no longer allows us a venue large enough for our guests to be comfortable. It has become increasingly difficult to focus on you, our clients; our most valued guests. So, for 2008, instead of hosting a holiday party, The Wells Group would like to acknowledge your patronage by making a charitable contribution to a local organization on your behalf.

Our brokers have identified the following local charitable organizations to be recipients of this year's contribution:

1.  United Way

2.  Boys and Girls Club of Durango

3.  Alternative Horizons

4.  Project Merry Christmas
