We warmly invite you to our Annual Meeting & Pizza Party 🍕 on April 25th at 6 pm, at Denver Montessori High School. This is an opportunity to review our Annual Report, participate in Board Elections, and catch up on community news—all while enjoying delicious pizza from Cosmos.
We recently attended an RNO dinner hosted by Councilwoman Amanda Sandoval, with representatives from the Denver Police Department and Denver Parks & Recreation.Â
It was enlightening to receive updates on the diligent efforts these departments invest in ensuring our neighborhoods remain safe, clean, and pleasant. Next time you're enjoying one of our 56 parks or when you need to dial 311 or 911, take a moment to appreciate the dedicated individuals behind these essential services. 🌳.
We invite you to connect with Commander Leger and the District 1 team at the next Citizen’s Advisory Group Meeting on April 17th at 6 pm. This meeting offers an invaluable platform for discussing recent crime trends, and community concerns. Learn more here.Â
We are privileged to serve as our neighbors' information hub. As a result, we are excited to share a glimpse into the strategic budget goals proposed by our City Council for 2025. These goals will become the focus areas for District 1 and we encourage you to read them here.
Be safe and take care of each other.Â
