To the Holland & Hart Community:

In 2004, the Holland & Hart Foundation celebrated its fifthanniversary and another great year of projects,

participation and outreach to those in need. In May, wehonored Holland & Hart Foundation founders Sam and JeanGuyton with a special party at which we presented themwith various gifts and a scrapbook of letters from many ofthe people whose lives they have touched through theircreation of and support for the Foundation. For the past fiveyears, Sam & Jean, with their unparalleled caring and

compassion, strengthened our bonds, eased our cares, and provided outstandingexamples of humanity and what it means to be good citizens of a community. Theyhave selflessly given of their time to others. Numerous H&Hers—past andpresent—pledged many thousands of community service hours in honor of Samand Jean and their tremendous works.

All those hours translated into enormous benefits for our communities. Throughoutthe year, we were able to help thousands of people through the efforts of givingindividuals, wonderful office projects, and dynamic multi-office efforts. In thespring, our office committees’ combined efforts sent nearly two dozen childrenfrom the impoverished community of West Tallahatchie, Mississippi on aneducation trip to New York. We sent pocket flags and care packages to our militaryservicemen and women serving in the Middle East. Within our local communities,Foundation efforts provided food, clothing, and furniture to needy families; weprovided books in Spanish and English to needy children; we built shelters; wehelped a group of abused children do something they had never done before—enjoy a barbeque in the park; and we taught English to refugees. H&H individualsand Foundation groups gave their time to more than 100 service organizations.During the holiday season alone, more than 1,000 families in six states benefitedfrom the generosity and commitment of the amazing people in the Foundation family.

Every Foundation effort requires great coordination, organization and patience.The Foundation continues to succeed because of the amazing people in the Holland & Hart family who devote their time to helping others. Being part ofFoundation efforts is deeply rewarding. In doing so, we build community amongstus and we weave ourselves into the fabric of our greater communities. FollowingSam and Jean’s example of commitment to work and community, adventurousnature, philanthropic spirit, and good humor, we find that the Foundation’s gooddeeds are indeed their own reward.

The Foundation Board would like to thank everyone for their contributions in 2004.We look forward to another great year ahead.

The Foundation has given us the

encouragement to participate in

our communities - to offer help,

whether it be with monetary

support, physically, emotionally,

or spiritually - and we ALL

benefit when that happens. We

gathered together to contribute

over $13,000 to Habitat for

Humanity's relief efforts for the

2004 tsunami victims - that IS

TEAM effort.

The Holland & Hart Foundation is one of the institutionsthat makes this law firm unique. The Foundation has

provided the means and the inspiration for us to helpthousands of people with scores of service projectsthroughout our six-state region, and beyond, in America andthe world. As such, the Foundation serves well its statedmission of building community internally, locally, and globallyamong present and former lawyers, staff people, theirfamilies, and like-minded friends, including our clients. In a

very real sense, these Foundation activities represent who we are at our best, andboth express and reinforce the core values and character of Holland & Hart. All ofus—and the communities we live in—are enriched and ennobled by the Holland &Hart Foundation. A wise person said it is better to light a candle than to curse thedarkness. The Holland & Hart Foundation gives life and substance to this basictruth.

A Message from Paul Phillips2 0 0 4 C H A I R O F H O L L A N D & H A R T ’ S M A N A G E M E N T C O M M I T T E E

In my first year as Executive Director, I faced manychallenges that have been met with hope, faith,

determination, and love. Now that Sam and Jean Guytonhave stepped down, the next generation is excited tocontinue the humanitarian principles that cemented ourcause over six years ago. Our values and purpose are clear;the Board is committed; and our sense of determination isunwavering.

Every day the Foundation strives to bring hope to thousands of individuals,children and families in Colorado, across the Rocky Mountain West, nationally, andabroad. That’s a powerful and huge undertaking, but in 2004 the Foundationreached new heights.

As the work we have been doing continues into another year, we are lookingforward to reaching out to more people in our communities and developing newpartnerships with other organizations and foundations.

We will continue our journey with confidence and resolve because the bottomline is that the quest for helping each other and the communities of which we are apart is truly what the Foundation is all about.

Please visit our re-designed website at www.hollandhartfoundation.org. It is agreat tool to keep up with all of our activities.

Lastly, I would like to thank the H&H community for all of your help and support.Without you, none of this would be possible.

My name is Jason Hunter, and I

am a U.S. Marine who was

stationed in Iraq up until a day

ago. It was my second

deployment in Operation Iraqi

Freedom. I have collected two

flags from your Foundation. One

from Kuwait 2003 and now one

from Iraq 2004-2005. Thank

you very much for making these

packages. I have something to

remember the better times of my

deployments with now.

First and foremost, the

Foundation has allowed me to see

the best side of so many people in

our office. I have been impressed

by how many folks consistently

contribute their time or their

money—or both—to help the

Foundation accomplish a variety

of local community service goals.

Our Foundation activities,

I believe, help our Denver-based

firm develop and foster its own

unique, local personality; and the

Foundation’s local presence,

through its Boise office actors,

helps to keep and strengthen

Holland & Hart’s position as one

of the more significant—and

appreciated—corporate movers-

and-shakers in the area.

The Foundation provides the

members of our office a break

from the daily hustle and bustle

of the practice of law. The

Foundation allows us to

momentarily forget about our

seemingly significant problems

and focus on the individuals in

our community who may be

struggling with such basics as

food and shelter. Whether we are

serving lunch to the homeless,

cleaning a women’s shelter or

wrapping gifts for our Sub-for-

Santa families, we are working

together as an office and we

know that we are making a

small, but important, difference

in our community. The more we

serve, the more we see how vital

the Foundation is to our

community.

The Foundation means so much

in so many different ways to the

folks in the Cheyenne office.

Through the Foundation we are

able to impact so many lives in

our small community, by sharing

our time, our prosperity and our

knowledge with the organizations

we are involved with year after

year. Over the years the

Foundation has become far more

meaningful to the organizations

we help. The people around here

are just amazing, their readiness

to help out and give when some-

times there is nothing left to give.

- LESLEY ESPINOSA, FILE ROOMCOORDINATOR, CHEYENNE OFFICE

The existence of the Foundation

and firm-wide dedication to the

community where we work and

live is nothing short of amazing.

One of the reasons I wanted to

be a part of Holland & Hart was

because, as a whole, it was

obvious they recognized that they

were part of something greater

than themselves—the community

around them. Imagine how

marvelous communities could be

if more businesses shared the

same vision.

Thank You NotesThe Holland & Hart Foundation

has been a great instigator of

getting all of the members of the

office out in the community and

taking part in more projects for

the community good. I think that

people are more aware of doing

these projects on an individual

basis as well as helping out with

the group projects which we have

undertaken. While the lawyers of

Holland & Hart have always

been involved in doing pro bono

work, the Foundation has

prompted more awareness in the

staff of doing good work for the

community.

Thank you notes from adults atLennox House, children atFamily Pathways and HopeCenter, Deb Guinn, a Blue StarMother, and Sgt. Vig Dale

A Note from Deb Guinn - Blue Star Mother of Jason Guinn,former H&H project assistant serving in South Korea The Foundation has made a world of difference forme in how I’m dealing with Jason’s absence. TheFoundation has embraced us and our situation noless significantly than a co-parent. I’ve witnessedgenerosity, kindness and compassion from everysingle person here in the Santa Fe office. The personnel at theU.S. Post Office, the New Mexico Supreme Court, New MexicoCourt of Appeals, and the Santa Fe County Clerk’s office are nowfamiliar not only with Blue Star Mothers but also with ourFoundation’s support of the Blue Star Mothers’ projects. Hearingpositive things about law firms is not as common as it shouldbe, so it’s wonderful to be able to share these wonderful storieswith these people. I cannot thank the Foundation enough fortheir support of Jason and me.

One last word… as I had just finished mailing the 85 boxes ofGirl Scout cookies this week and we were walking out, thePostmaster announced to the people in line (about 25 people)that a local law firm, Holland & Hart, was sending cookies tothe troops. It was quite moving.

Deb Guinn

I wanted to drop you a little e-mail to

say thank you for the pocket flags

you sent to all of us. It means SO

much when we receive something

from home! Your support means a

LOT. I carry my pocket flag in my

cargo pocket right next to my pocket

Bible. Contrary to what the media is

saying, a lot of good is being done

here. Things really are progressing

towards peace. Thank you for all your

prayers and support for us and our

families while we are separated. It

means SO much!!

Thank you again!

Sgt. Vig Dale
