We've had a WONDERFUL past few days here at Dun-Well.  If you've been following along you know that we've been selling out of doughnuts rather early in the afternoon.  Still figuring out what that magic number will be, but we couldn't be more thrilled with the turn out.  Thank you all so much for your support!

Today a certain gentlemen came into our shop for four dozen doughnuts.  We got a picture with him before he left…  

Left to Right:  Dan Dunbar, Jared Polis, Christopher Hollowell

We were excited to get a picture with him after we learned he was a congressman for Colorado.  Naturally we googled him immediately after he left.  

Jared Schutz Polis (born Jared Polis Schutz May 12, 1975) is an American entrepreneur, philanthropist, and U.S. Representative for Colorado's 2nd congressional district, serving since 2009. He is a member of the Democratic Party. Polis and his life partner, Marlon Reis, are the parents of a son, Caspian Julius, born on September 30, 2011, making Polis the only openly gay member of Congress who is a parent.

In 2000, Polis founded the Jared Polis Foundation, whose mission "is to create opportunities for success through education and access to technology." Its main programs are the annual Teacher Recognition Awards; the Community Computer Connection Program, which refurbishes and donates more than 3,500 computers a year to schools and non-profit organizations; and the semi-annual Jared Polis Foundation Education Report. Polis has also founded two charter schools for at-risk students. In 2004, he established the New America School, which primarily serves older immigrant youth ages 16–21 and has three campuses in the Denver Metro area and one in New Mexico. Polis serves as Superintendent. In 2005, he co-founded with Urban Peak the Academy of Urban Learning^[6] in Denver to serve youth struggling with homelessness or unstable living conditions.

Polis was named Outstanding Philanthropist for the 2006 National Philanthropy Day in Colorado. He is a recipient of many awards, including the Boulder Daily Camera’s 2007 Pacesetter Award in Education;^[7] the Kauffman Foundation Community Award;^[8] the Denver consul general of Mexico “Ohtli”;^[9] the Martin Luther King, Jr. Colorado Humanitarian Award; and the Anti-Defamation League’s inaugural Boulder Community Builder Award.

———-

While serving in the House, in early 2011, Polis launched The Fearless Campaign, an effort to empower "political leaders with the moral courage it takes to vote fearlessly on the politically charged issues of today, regardless of the perceived political risk."^[23] The campaign is active on six issues: LGBTQ equality, drug policy, education reform, immigration reform, net neutrality and food policy.

TUESDAY December 6th OFFICIAL OPENING

The doughnut chef, he worked so hard
By mixing flour, sugar, but no lard.
He baked his doughnuts fresh at dawn,
The hoped by noon they’d all be gone. 

OUR OFFICIAL OPENING DATE IS DECEMBER 6th
