The Keystone Neighbourhood Co Dedicates Plaque in Memory of Long-Time Community Member, Doug Sims

The Keystone and Summit County area suffered a great loss when Doug Sims passed away suddenly in October of 2022.

Doug was devoted to many nonprofit organizations throughout Summit and served on the boards of the Lake Dillon Theater Co (currently Theater SilCo), The Keystone Science School and the Keystone Neighbourhood Company. His love of his mountain community was evident where he volunteered much of his personal time and leadership to the growth of so many mountain non-profit organizations.
