District 7 Candidate Forum April 17th, 7PM at John Collins Church, 2320 S. Bannock St.

One of the four candidates for City Council was not able to attend the WWPNA Candidate Forum on 3/14/07. His answers to the questions that were sent out ahead of time are attached.

It's often hard to get involved in neighborhood activities, because there seems to be so much to learn. The myriad of governmental entities, arcane zoning regulations, and diffuse experiences of activists around the city make it hard to figure out the structures and strictures in Denver city government.

Newbies and experienced folks alike will thus benefit from the Denver Neighborhood Handbook, which was created by Inter-Neighborhood Cooperation (INC) in partnership with the city's Community Planning and Development office.

This useful handbook is currently online in two parts:
Denver Neighborhood Handbook, Part One
Denver Neighborhood Handbook, Part Two.

And with that, you'll have all the knowledge you need to get started!

One way to determine WWPNA's representation of the neighborhood is to look at the membership list. Folks who don't feel represented by the organization simply won't pay annual dues.

To that extent, the attached map is pretty gratifying. A graphical view of the current membership list suggests we do represent the whole neighborhood pretty evenly. And the folks who have left the organization over the past two years are equally well dispersed.

I guess we're doing our job - and should remain mindful of our continued efforts to represent the WHOLE neighborhood.
