January board meeting will be held Jan. 23, at 7«30 p.m. at Our Savior's Lutheran Church. (9th & Emerson) Mark it on your calendartl v retreat by Bernie Jones The sometime-scattered efforts of Capitol Hill's varied community organizations and free-lancing activists started to come together at the first Capitol Hill retreat, sponsored by the Capitol Hill Coordinating Committee for Community Services and held near Morrison the weekend of Oct. 11-13. About twenty people took part at one time or another, representing such groups and agencies as CHUN, North Capitol Hill Council, the Coordinating Committee, Denver Free University, New Denver Community Association, Capitol Hill Gopher Service, Denver Planning Office, and others. A planning committee composed of John Hand, Warren Bailey, John Marinace and Bernie Jones led the group through a series of sessions designed to 1) find out who is who and who is doing what 2) what are the existing conditions in Capitol Hill 3) What are are dreams about what the neighborhood should be; and 4) what are some practical steps that could be taken right away. While a fuller report on the retreat will have to uait until the next edition of the newsletter, some of the specific actions planned for implementation after the retreat are listed here i vvri^.f-. —designation of ajti informal gathering place (Scjui^e Lounge and Restaurant at 'WiU'l^nas and Colfax for lunch, Fridays at noon) —agreement to utilize CHUN newsletter more widely as a general organ for communication in Capitol Hill. —suggestion that CHUN sponsor some kind of forum where potential Capitol Hill council candidates could air their views, --scheduling of discussions about formation of a housing development corporation to buy and restore old endangered houses, --plans for Gilpin House staff to take message of boarding home problems to neighborhood organizations, —start discussions about planning a prototype block (e.g. closing street, neighborhood gardens, greater use of alleys, etc. ) —attempting to designate a block worker on each block of the neighborhood as a general communications network for all area organizations, --agreement to urge all area organizations to sponsor and participate in a similar retreat in the spring as a beginning of inter-organizational long-term planning. Any of the retreat planners (and probably anyone else who attended) would be glad to elaborate on these discussions should anyone wish more information. Congratulations to Barbara Sudler, a CHUN board member who has recently been selected as executive director of Historic Denver, Inc. She replaces Ken Watson who resigned a few months ago. Preservation is not new to Mrs. Sudler. She was very active in saving the Tramway Cable Car Co, and in obtaining Landmark Status for the building. Mrs, Sudler brings wide and varied ~ experience to the job. She has been in charge of marketing and public relations for her husband Jim's architectural firm. Volunteer jobs include work for the Denver Art Museum, Denver Symphony, various political campaigns, Denver Public-Library researf n and participation on the Gov ^nor's Commission on Drugs and Alec ol Abuse. Before she was elected to bhe CHUN board, she worked witl the committee on Home Finance .md helped plan our Banker's Tour, Mrs, Sudler is very anxious to broaden the base of Historic Denver and believes strongly that preservation is for ALL the people. An expanded membership would certainly give the organization's ideals and goals more influence. We congratulate Mrs, Sudler- and hope CHUN and Historic Denver can continue to work together on areas of mutual concern. We are very happy that Mrs, Sudler has decided to continue her service on the CHUN board. *r" /- RECYCLE THIS PAPER Q GIVE IT TO A FRIEND TO READ
