VOLUME 38, EDITION 2

Message From the President

Greetings Neighbors and Friends,

I hope this message finds you well.  The February 2020 edition of the Urban Dweller--Capitol Hill United Neighborhoods (CHUN) monthly e-newsletter--is available online.  Here is the latest from your registered neighborhood organization and community advocate: 

Annual Member Meeting:  More than 100 members and community leaders joined us for the 2020 Annual Membership Meeting on January 9th.  The annual meeting is a report to our members that includes a year-in-review, a discussion about issues facing the city, the election of at-large delegates, and other organizational updates. CHUN also presented its inaugural S.E.E.D. Awards and the 2020 Good Neighbor Awards.  A full list and more information is included in the newsletter.  
​
Financial Report:  In 2019, CHUN's net ordinary income was very healthy, with a net gain of more than $59,000.  The financial recovery and success of CHUN over the past few years has resulted in more than $150,000 cash on hand.  To our members, donors, sponsors, and even Tears-McFarlane patrons/tenants, we have been responsible stewards of your generosity and commitment.  Simply put...an investment in our RNO is money well spent. 

Tears-McFarlane House & Community Center:  CHUN filed a rezoning application, a planned unit development (PUD), for our home at 1290 Williams Street. The rezoning plan includes restoring the historic mansion and adding other neighborhood-friendly amenities for locals to use and enjoy.  For decades, neighbors and community stakeholders have looked to the Tears-McFarlane House & Community Center as a focal point for community building, diversity and inclusion, and a place to engage in local programs. Located just north of Cheesman Park, the property has hosted everything from concerts in the park to serving as the national office for Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays (PFLAG).  And, after digging through our archives, we discovered the property had a café in the early 1980s and was supported by CHUN board alumni and Denver dignitaries.  If the rezoning is approved, neighbors will be able to enjoy a coffee during their morning walk; wine in the evening after a long week; and plenty of opportunities to connect with neighbors and friends.

Governance Reform:  Since becoming president of the board, my colleagues and I have collectively cleaned up the Tears-McFarlane House (literally)--removing clutter and eliminating disorganization.  The next phase of this "clean-up" has been refining governance processes and procedures.  Last year, we worked with our legal counsel to adopt new articles of incorporation to comply with current state statutes.  We also adopted a conflict of interest policy since this has posed a challenge for the organization in the past.  At the annual meeting, the CHUN board presented amended and adopted new by-laws to be consistent with the local, state, and federal laws governing nonprofits and registered neighborhood organizations.  The membership approved the by-laws as presented.  In general, they are streamlined and much more structured. Other modifications include term-limits, two-year terms for directors, membership categories, etc. 

At-Large Delegates & Executive Committee Appointed:  18 at-large delegates were elected in January.  It is great to see so many new, and returning, names join our efforts to shape the future of Denver.  The CHUN board appointed its executive committee. Congratulations to the following Bill DeMaio & Rod Mullins: Co-Vice President(s) of Tears-McFarlane House; Andrea Hamilton, Vice-President of Membership; Molly Williams, Vice-President of Fundraising and Development; Mark Cossin, Vice-President of Neighborhood Engagement; Richard Wilson, Treasurer; and Nichole Racelis, Secretary.  I was reappointed as President.  My deepest thanks to my board colleagues for their leadership.  Their efforts to advance our organization's mission and purpose is invaluable. 

Programmatic Highlights:  Convening neighborhood conversations and events about the vexing issues of the day remains the cornerstone of our work.  During 2019, we gave the CHUN "Seal of Approval" to a number of projects in the city.  In January, we issued a letter of support for the proposed rezoning of 2137 Glenarm Place property from its current designation of R3-UO-3 to C-RX-8--paving the way for residential, mix-used development along a major transit corridor and located near downtown.  We also received an update from the Denver Urban Renewal Authority and Senior Housing Options.  Each presentation helped underscore the value of registered neighborhood organizations and CHUN's central role in shaping the direction of our city.  

February is Black History Month.  I encourage you to reflect on the civil rights movement and the artistic, economic, cultural, and political achievements of African Americans in Denver, Colorado, and beyond.  Resources and exhibits can be found at the Blair-Caldwell Branch of the Denver Public Library, History Colorado, and VisitDenver.

For the Mile High City, 
​
Travis Leiker
President, Board of Delegates

Congratulations to the Inaugural S.E.E.D. Award Winners

Launched in 2019, the S.E.E.D. Funding Initiative was designed to encourage civic entrepreneurship and community engagement by providing financial support for small, scalable projects aligned with CHUN's mission and values.  Awards ranged between $500 and $1000 per group. The 2020 recipients are as follows:

• Friends of Morey Middle School PTO to support student access to basic hygiene needs, low cost school supplies, and after-school enrichments; funding also includes support for the purchase of a Chromebook for students who lack access to technology.
• The Blue Bench to conduct Safe Bars trainings in the Capitol Hill community. Safe Bars training prepares staff at alcohol-serving establishments to recognize and respond to incidents of sexual harassment and assault. The program promotes active bystander intervention to prevent assault and create safer communities.
• Harm Reduction Action Center to underwrite a number of ongoing community clean-ups throughout Capitol Hill including removing unwanted trash and litter, as well as improperly disposed syringes and syringe related litter; harm reduction community clean-ups facilitate conversations with the homeless and neighbors who inject drugs.
• Warren Village to incorporate a new resident mural wall on the first floor of their building located at 1323 Gilpin Street.  The mural will be representative of the cultures and diversity of the residents living at the building.
• Historic Denver will use their award to pay for access railings at the historic Molly Brown House and Museum located at 1340 Pennsylvania Street; work will also include the addition of access amenities to provide physical access to the historic structure by adding a wheelchair lift, too.   
• Spirit of the Sun, a nonprofit organization located near Cheesman Park, will use their funding for the Indigenous Youth Art & Culture (IYAC) program—a project that strengthens cultural ties, and provides an outlet for emotional expression, for those Indigenous Peoples residing throughout the greater Capitol Hill community.  
• Denver Turnverein, a local dance hall and dance education center in the Uptown neighborhood, will use funding to enhance their block through added greenery and environmentally/climate appropriate landscaping.​

2020 Good Neighbor Award Recipients

The annual Good Neighbor Awards are a longstanding tradition for our organization and an opportunity to recognize extraordinary contributions to the greater Capitol Hill community. We congratulate the following for their service and commitment:

• Margie Valdez (Tom Knorr Award for Community Service) for bringing people together, building partnerships and helping neighbors realize we can accomplish more when we work together.
• Molly Williams (Roger Armstrong Outstanding Volunteer Award) for spearheading many of the core aspects of CHUN’s fundraising in 2020.
• Rose Andom Center (Safe Neighborhood Award) for helping victims of domestic violence who are in need through information, resources, safe shelter, and other critical services.
• Ivy on 7th and Carboy Winery (Neighborhood Character Award) for transforming the intersection of 7th Ave and Logan Street; the progress made has enhanced the neighborhood’s character while successfully growing small, locally owned businesses.
• The Denver NEST Program (Homelessness and Affordable Housing Award) for preserving the culture of Denver's neighborhoods experiencing significant change by helping longtime businesses and residents with the resources necessary to remain in place through affordable housing, support for those experiencing homelessness, and other financial initiatives. 

• Senior Housing Options/Olin Apartments (Historic Preservation Award) for their collective efforts to restore and preserve the historic, architecturally interesting Olin Apartments; CHUN also appreciates the fact that the building will remain open and accessible to those most in need of quality, affordable housing.

CHUN Committee Updates

As CHUN continues to enhance its programming, the Board of Delegates has recently refined the names, scope, and vision for its primary committees. 

• Urban Planning Committee (CHUN-UP): The Urban Planning Committee focuses on the critical zoning, transportation, land use, and licensing issues facing Capitol Hill and Denver.  In addition, the committee regularly engages in those substantive policy discussions that directly impact the quality of life in our neighborhoods-- parks and open space preservation, traffic issues, and safety to name a few. ​
• History Matters Committee: This committee's work will continue to emphasize the preservation of historic homes, buildings, and districts. However, CHUN has expanded its charge to include matters of cultural, historical significance and to be the voice that informs, educates and partners with our community, businesses and the City of Denver.
• Parents Committee: Coordinates and manages special events and awareness for parents and families, building programs relevant to a diverse, inclusive community with an emphasis on parent and family outreach. 
• Climate Crisis Committee: Building awareness and facilitating community engagement; hosting special events and meetings; executing programs concerning climate change and environmental stewardship.

The newly branded Urban Planning Committee, also also known as CHUN-UP 😁, will continue its forward-looking approach to engaging neighbors and crafting solutions to our city's challenges.  Congratulations to co-chairs Sarah Wells, Dmitrii Zavorotny, and Frank Locantore for being reappointed to chair this committee.  Kevin Kelly, Bruce Caughey, and Jessica Caouette were appointed as co-chairs of the History Matters Committee. Finally, Stephen Polk and Jim Slotta will lead the Climate Crisis Committee and Rachel Griffin will lead the Parents Committee.

For a complete list of CHUN's committees, please visit the Committee Page and check the CHUN website for upcoming meetings and events.

Top Neighborhood News Stories

Rezoning Application filed for CHUN's Historic Tears-McFarlane House

The Tears-McFarlane house today with a look towards renovation of it's beautiful spaces and original Tiffany glass window.

Proposed changes to the Tears-McFarlane house includes a historic renovation of the original house and a rebuilding of the hall addition into a new community cafe.

DID YOU KNOW?! Capitol Hill United Neighborhoods (CHUN) has filed a rezoning application for The Tears McFarlane House and Community Center at 1290 Williams Street. After nearly 3 years of public outreach, neighborhood feedback, as well as guidance provided by seasoned city planners and consultants, the rezoning application submitted requests a planned unit development (PUD) for the property. This was done in order to preserve the historic house, protect the neighborhood's interests for the future(limited sounds, traffic, types of use, etc.), and still provide a new community engaged space that fits with the community's wants and needs.  CHUN hopes to restore the historic house in order to deliver a community-building space that is enhanced by its centralized location, neighborhood walkability, and over 40 years of history as both an office space and a community center. 

We need YOUR help to get this done. To support this rezoning effort, please call 303-830-1651 or email us at chun@chundenver.org to learn more about the project and how to support us in this great endeavor.

Warren Village Becomes the Newest Home of a Blue Bench

Warren Village, a Denver-based nonprofit that helps low-income, single-parent families make the journey from poverty to self-sufficiency, became the most recent home of a blue bench. The bench, which symbolizes a community commitment to ending sexual assault and supporting survivors, can be found on the porch of the organization’s administrative building.
​
The bench and its placement was made possible by a donation from Joe Kelso. Mr. Kelso became familiar with Warren Village while working with the US Department of Housing and Urban Development out of the Denver regional headquarters. Now retired, he was proud of the support his office offered to Warren Village and its successful program and is honored to provide the organization with this important symbol.

Read the full article on thebluebench.org website.
