DPHD July 2020 Board Meeting
​As with the April meeting, the July meeting was held via Zoom. We had hoped to be planning a fun summer event and our participation in the annual Joy Chili Cookoff. However, this has been an unusual summer and we are following the state guidelines to limit large in person events. Hopefully next year we will all be able to come out and enjoy our beautiful neighborhood together.

DPHD April 2020 Board Meeting

Bylaws​
​By vote of the Board, the bylaws were changed to require 5 people for a quorum (down from 10). The bylaws also state that the Board is required to have a Vice President. Ann Atkinson agreed to take the position of  Vice President to meet that requirement. 

Other Business
An issue about the lack of sidewalks in the section of Country Club just west of DPHD was discussed. The concern is that during the school year, children going to Bromwell Elementary are forced to share the street with cars. Their safety is of great concern. If you have children attending Bromwell and share this concern, please let us know via the suggestion box below.

Potential 2020 initiatives
  • Fun event - in the past we have had an annual picnic during the summer. A discussion of what, when and where followed. Ideas included having a food truck, inviting our Council representative, and activities.
  • Neighborhood communication - suggestions included: having a table at the Joy Chili Cook Off, consider a community bulletin board (modeled after one in the Mayfair neighborhood), actively promoting and supporting a DPHD mailing list (see link above)
  • Composting, waste & cleanup - we discussed ways to promote more active composting in our neighborhood. Ideas included encouraging multiple families to sign up and share a bin, joining the Great Denver Cleanup, inviting a representative from Denver Recycles to present to our community meeting, consider electronic waste and shredding events.

President's Corner

I hope everyone in our neighborhood has been safe and healthy during the crazy events of the past three to four months. I know people are getting out because I see so many of you walking and biking as enjoy my "wandering workouts."

Like many organizations and groups of friends, we have decided that for the safety of all our neighbors, our 2020 Annual Community Meeting will be a virtual meeting. We are looking forward a time in the future when we can get together in person but for now, we will have to enjoy getting together from the comfort of our own homes. We are aware that not everyone is comfortable connecting via a virtual environment. For those who are not familiar with Zoom, our virtual meeting platform, we are offering some practice session and we have created a "getting started" document that you can download to help prepare to attend the meeting. All the information you need can be found on our 2020 Annual Meeting page which you can access by clicking the button below.

We hope all our neighbors will be able to attend our virtual meeting on Wednesday, October 21st.
