Thursday Group

Zoom Meetup

Each Thursday evening, a group of adults with IDD get together on Zoom with ACL staff to chat, catch up on the latest news, talk about movies & sports, share food ideas, show off pets, ask for advice from each other, and laugh together. We have no agenda except to battle loneliness and be a regular support to one another. —We also work with people, one-on-one, on tech skills, so don’t let fear of the iPad stop you!

We know that Zoom and other video conferencing can be overstimulating for nearly all of us. For this reason, we keep the group small to avoid overwhelm and ensure that each person can have their voice heard … if they want to go off mute! :)

Beyond Limits

bb.jpg

Beyond Limits is a training program that supports Boulder and Broomfield County athletes with intellectual developmental disabilities (IDD) as they prepare for the BolderBoulder 10K. The ACL has proudly sponsored this program for many years, and we are excited to be part of this inclusive and inspiring group again this year!

Program Details:

📅 Meets Mondays from March 9th until race day on Memorial Day

📍 Open to walkers, joggers, wheelchair users, and runners of all experience levels

As an athlete, you’ll be paired with a dedicated volunteer coach who will train with you throughout the season, helping to build pacing, endurance, and motivation. The team trains together each week, fostering connection, encouragement, and fun on the trail!

🔹 Bonus Training Opportunities: In addition to our regular Monday meetups, we will occasionally join local group runs hosted by Boulder-area running stores. These events provide a great opportunity to experience different routes, meet fellow runners, and be part of the broader running community.

🔹 Volunteer Opportunity: Want to support an athlete as a walking or running coach? We are looking for volunteers to train alongside athletes and provide encouragement throughout the program. If you're interested, contact Caitlin at clooney@aclboulder.org.

🔹 **Important: This is an ongoing program that requires full participation from March through race day.

👉 Want to join? Contact us at happenings@aclboulder.org to come train with us and push yourself Beyond Limits! 🚀💙🏃‍♂️🧑‍🦽

We would like to invite current and former ACL Members to ACL’s Annual Membership Meeting on Thursday, November 13, 2025!

We’ll be gathering in person at ACL’s office in Longmont, with a hybrid option via Zoom for those joining online.

Following the social hour, we’ll move into our Annual Membership Meeting, featuring:

  • A Welcome from our Board President

  • An address from Ailsa Wonnacott, Executive Director, reflecting on ACL’s year of advocacy and community impact

  • Results of online voting on our proposed Bylaw updates

  • Nominations from the floor for ACL’s Board of Directors, followed by in-person voting for nominees

Current members, please take a moment to review our updated Bylaws and vote using the electronic ballot link below. This year’s updates focus on improving clarity, readability, and plain language, and we’re proud to share a Spanish-language version as well.

Former ACL Members, we invite you to renew your membership today! We’d love to hear your voice in our upcoming bylaws and board elections. Quickly renew your membership below, so your vote can be counted!

Keep an eye out for more details about our Annual Meeting in the coming weeks. We hope you’ll join us — in person or on Zoom — to celebrate another year of community, advocacy, and inclusion at ACL!

*Note that only ACL Members can vote for Board Candidates and ACL Bylaws. If you are uncertain if you are a current member, give us a shout. If you’d like to know more about membership, take a look here.

Each Thursday evening, a group of adults with IDD get together on Zoom with ACL staff to chat, catch up on the latest news, talk about movies & sports, share food ideas, show off pets, ask for advice from each other, and laugh together. We have no agenda except to battle loneliness and be a regular support to one another. —We also work with people, one-on-one, on tech skills, so don’t let fear of the iPad stop you!

We know that Zoom and other video conferencing can be overstimulating for nearly all of us. For this reason, we keep the group small to avoid overwhelm and ensure that each person can have their voice heard … if they want to go off mute! :)
