jear Residents   of   East-Central  Denver,
You are invited, for the minimal cost of >3.00 per person, to become a
member of Capitol Hill United Neighborhoods, Inc. for 1975.  Please mail
your duer *-Tith the application blank found on the last page of this issue
of THE URBAN DWELLER, the official newsletter of CHUN,  The membership year
is concurrent with the calendar year, so all past members of CHUN need now
pay dues to rejoin for 1975.
The CHUN geographic area (bounded by Broadway, 1st Ave, Colorado Blvd.
and 22nd Ave), as you know, provides the charm and challenge of an older
neighborhood, proximity to the resources of downtown Denver, and a unique
diversity of residents,   homes and life-styles.  We in CHUN love this
neighborhood.  The 500 members of CHUN for 197^ joined together because we
believe that a united, well-informed community can deal more effectively
than separate individuals with problems and dangers facing the neighborhood.
We further believe that any problem which may now affect Cnly a small part
of our geographic area will sooner or later affect us all,
CHUN works for the development of a humanized, self-determined, economically
and socially-sound community which serves the needs of all people in the
several neighborhoods of near-east Denver.  Our spe-cific purposes are:
—to upgrade the neighborhoods in our area, both business and residential,
through coherent long-term planning.
—-to work toward the improvement of housing froin the small apartment to
the large home
—to defend our neighborhood against the devastation of haphazard traffic
planning and short-sighted zoning.
—to work for better schools and better city services.
—to protect the "green space" we have and strive for more.
—to promote better understanding and communications among the diverse
peoples and interests in our neighborhood and to generate community pride.
Our means of implementing these purposes are -
1) educational:  members are informed about current issues and problems by
public forums, committee studies, and regular newsletters,
2) public action:  contacts are regularly made with city, state, and
federal decision-makers to advise them of the feelings of our members
on programs that will affect our area,
3) social:  a stronger feeling of community is fostered by a variety
of social gatherings.
If you have not been a member of Capitol Hill United Neighborhoods in the
past, you can see a sample of our current activities in this issue of
THE URBAN DWELLER.
Most of us live here, close to the central city, by choice, a few by
necessity; but all of us are committed to preserving and upgrading this
neighborhood.   If you share this commitment, please join us.
Michael Henry, President
Rhonda Knop, First Vice-President
