The September meeting of the WWPNA Board and officers is open to the public. The meeting will be held at the Washington Street Community Center, 809 South Washington.

This year’s tour offers a great deal with eight homes in the 900-1200 blocks of South Clarkson, Emerson and Ogden streets. Styles range from classic early century bungalows and duplexes to Victorians to a late 1940s era bungalow.

This year’s theme, “The Surprise Inside”, speaks to the fact that while these homes may look fairly typical on the outside, once you step inside they really shine. The homeowners have shown tremendous creativity in construction, materials and use of space.

Even though the tour is more pedestrian friendly this year than in years past, Mile High Pedicabs will be on hand to offer rides between venues. As in the 2005 tour, the Washington Street Community Center, at the north end of the tour route, will be offering a make-your-own sundae bar for only a dollar.

Advance tickets are $12 and will be available beginning August 6 at Classic Homeworks, 281 South Pearl St.; the Washington Street Community Center, 809 South Washington St.; Lincoln Elementary School, 710 South Pennsylvania St.; and Home And The Range, 286 South Logan St. Tickets are $15 the day of the tour and will be available at each home. WWPNA members receive a $2 discount.

Proceeds will benefit WWPNA, Lincoln Elementary School and the Washington Street Community Center.

The development team has requested WWPNA's and CHUN's assistance putting together a time and place so they may share with neighbors their plans for developing the 255 Washington site. There will be time for questions and answers.

A meeting was held a few months ago, at that time the preliminary design was met with no strong objections.

Meeting location is 111 Emerson "Park Place" in the dining hall and will begin promptly at 6:30.

Cherokee Denver Redevelopment Advisory Committee (CDRAC) holds monthly meetings as needed to discuss the on-going developments at the old Gates site west of Broadway. These meetings are usually the 4th Wednesday of each month, but may be cancelled if there is not enough new information to warrant holding a meeting.
