Organizations

: Congregation Ohr Shalom (Grand Junction, Colorado); The congregation began very informally in 1950 when three Jewish families (all by the last name of Travis) moved to the area from Tulsa, OK. Being used to the regular Jewish services held in Oklahoma, they got the other local Jewish families together and began organizing regular services in Grand Junction. In the absence of a Rabbi (or even assistant Rabbi), all services, holy day celebrations, and Seders were organized by members of the eight-ten family congregation. In 1977, the group gave rise to what was called the Jewish Community Center of Grand Junction. The name of the congregation was later changed to Congregation Ohr Shalom. They have a facility located at 441 Kennedy Avenue.

: Congregational Church of Whitewater (Whitewater, Colorado); One of the first churches in Whitewater, an unincorporated town in Mesa County, Colorado.

: Congregational Women's Fellowship; Helped raise money to buy the Plateau Valley Hospital building.

: Corn Construction (Mesa County, Colorado); A construction company that operated in Colorado during the Twentieth century. It was founded and operated by contractor George Wallace “Boots” Corn.
