One of Denver’s most eligible media bachelors is taken.
Radio personality and motivational speaker Mark McIntosh proposed to his g-friend Kathy Gans on their recent trip to Paris (how romantic!).

Since his departure from CBS4, McIntosh has been reinventing himself (yeah, I get that), as a spokesman/sports radio guy and promoting positive thinking through his own Seek Victory Foundation. For more information on what McIntosh is doing these days, go to http://www.seekvictory.com/
He offers weekly tips on how to cope with what life throws you … not a bad idea, if you ask me.

Amelia’s new adventure
The 9News weather/traffic whiz posted this on her Facebook page last week:
“It is with great pleasure and excitement that I announce the creation of the Fly With Amelia Foundation, a Colorado non-profit organization providing aviation opportunities to all, free aviation based educational curriculum to grades K-12, and scholarship funding of flight training to young women.
“In partnership with Wings Over the Rockies Air and Space Museum, the Fly With Amelia Foundation will work to engage our community in aviation-based educational activities and promote the future of general aviation through the recreation and symbolic completion of Amelia Earhart’s 1937 flight around the world.
The first Amelia Earhart said, “My ambition is to have this wonderful gift produce practical results for the future of flying and for the women who want to fly tomorrow’s planes.” The first time I flew in an airplane, I felt like Amelia was there with me, encouraging me to become an inspired aviatrix. It is now my turn to pass on this same inspiration to the future of female pilots and to those they, in turn, will inspire.
It will take a team of mentors, educators, pilots, and inspired young women to pull all of this off and I would love for you to get involved. If you are interested in learning more, please send me an email at ameliaroseearhart@gmail.com.
As the foundation grows and develops, I will provide more information about how to nominate a future aviatrix and how to keep updated on events!
Zoo do
Tickets are now on sale for Denver Zoo’s most popular summer event – the 24th annual Do At The Zoo on June 20. Presented by Anadarko Petroleum Corporation, the funds raised at this year’s event will be dedicated to the zoo’s sustainability programs.
The evening highlights Denver’s best restaurants and entertainment at one of the wildest local venues. The event kicks off at 6 p.m. with a VIP party with food from Edge Restaurant and Bar from The Four Seasons Denver, and the party opens for regular ticket holders at 7 p.m.
Tickets for the event and VIP party typically sell out quickly at www.denverzoo.org.

Trust me, I go to this event almost every year, and except for the possibility of rain, it’s the best outdoors event for party animals! Great food and fun for a great organization.
This is hip

The eclectic style of DeVotchKa and the punk cabaret sounds of Palmer will blend with a full 60-piece orchestra to create a unique evening of live music under the stars of Red Rocks.
