2017 For Auld Lange Syne (loosely translated to “Awesome Days Past!”)
Please join us as we review the year in song, to the tune of Auld Lang Syne!….Get ready, it’s a long one!!
First, the Chorus:
Should Awesome people be forgot
And all the awesome times?
Should Awesome in Action be forgot
An Auld lang syne?
And now, the song:
We got a new illu-stra-tor
His name be Darby boy
Senora Urban, with husband, Leonard, marches with on the 4th
Darby Sample shaking hands to seal the deal
Senora Urban’s Helping out
Translating to Spanish joy
Surely the Nemesis video will rock
And surely the Peaks do, Right?

REPEAT CHORUS
We made new friends; great advocates
The Flet-cher Fam-i-ly 
Have brought us in to Community Pre-K
And High Plains school with glee
REPEAT CHORUS
We twer lu-ck-y to watch th-e burn
Ripple Effect’s black belt tests
And made a great new film with Alayna,
& Ninja Nate; our filming bests
Jamie and Nate supervising the filming process
Ninja Nate and Nick

REPEAT CHORUS
In Estes Park we met a gal
We had a blast in a parade
With our Friends who didn’t shove
And here’s a hand to C.A.S.T for Kids 
And help from What if? -Ideation
We went all the way to Boulder Rainbow Childcare
To spread our ins-pira-tion.
REPEAT CHORUS

Foco Comic Con, a great success-
Anyone can be a hero, we say
We made costumes, and made some friends
A grand and funny day!
REPEAT CHORUS
The librarians in Love-land
At the Author Showcase gave us Love
And at Crossroads Church, with Dream Catcher
We saw Loveland from above.
Nick poses with lower grade classes
The year came to an Awesome End
With a visit to Prairie School–
A friend from Ability-Fest came through
And the students were so cool!
The Cub Scout Troop Nin-ty-one
Met and drew some pictures, too
And now we’re fundraising for an adaptive zipline
With a girl scout troop so true.
A non-profit, AiA now be
And we vow to see it through
We’d love to have your continued support
Please let us come to you!
Who knew this song could be so long?
Who knew the many verse?
At least we got a chance to say
All we’ve done, for better or worse
Have a Safe and Happy New Year!!!
Project One Provides More Than Just Home Repair
Saturday, May 6th, was an eventful day at the office of Awesome in Action! Not only was Project One, a community service offering free home repair through Crossroads Church, fixing up screens and steps, but also, a whole team of kids was helping to review and reflect on Nick’s newest book!
Awesome in Action could not have asked for a more thorough and friendly group of children, aged 9 mos to 14 yrs.
Jolee, 14 yrs, holds youngest critic, Kellan, 9 mos as they read through Nick’s 2nd book!
The kids all read through the book, answered questions about the story line, and voted on a title choice for the new adventure.
Ellory, 11, came up with a fabulous impression of an ostrich that all the kids had to try!
Parker, 7 yrs, laughed at a funny Ostrich story that Nick’s mom told!
Kira, 12, balanced her contributions to the house with a book review!
Lexi, 8, sat with Nick and read Helping in Action!
Jase, 9, was happy to be helping with Project One, and Nick’s new book!
After reading, the kids sat with Nick’s mom, Susan, and heard stories about real African animals!
Oh no, Parker, Ostrich Fail!
Ostrich impersonators
Cutting new steps
Hello!
While the kids were busy impersonated ostriches, the adults worked hard to finish their projects!
Nick is happy to have a fixed up place, and more importantly,
