the official blog of the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District

Since 1989, Scientific and Cultural Facilities District (SCFD) has distributed funds from a 1/10 of 1% sales and use tax to cultural facilities throughout the seven-county Denver, Colorado metropolitan area. The funds support cultural facilities whose primary purpose is to enlighten and entertain the public through the production, presentation, exhibition, advancement and preservation of art, music, theatre, dance, zoology, botany, natural history and cultural history.

So long and thanks for all the fish. And coffee.

…working for the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District.

Today was the last time I’ll ride my bicycle up that nasty hill, the last time I’ll boot up this slow computer, and the last time I’ll be able to say I work for the most unique, efficient, and diverse tax district in the United States (at least in my humble opinion).

Here, I received my first business card, my first private office, and my first annual review.  I’ve worked with amazing staff and board members with lifetimes of experience and insight, and I’ve worked with over 300 unique organizations.  It’s been quite a ride.

Now I’m headed to the land of fish & chips, Arsenal, and punting, where the grass is green and the food will make you green too (I jest!).  I’ll be pursuing a Masters degree in Art History at the University of Oxford, so if you would like to keep in touch please contact me at cassiope.sydoriak@trinity.ox.ac.uk.

Never fear, someone will maintain this blog.  Please be patient as we adjust our staff, but please keep us on your radar and keep us informed of any events that should be posted: scfd@scfd.org.

Cheerio!
