Fourth Quarter Neighborhood Meeting Held Today

We discussed topics ranging from neighborhood watch to our annual budget, and the one recurring theme that emerged was "community". Charlie Criss and Fritz Parker presented the information that they've assembled in their drive to re-invigorate the neighborhood watch program in Cherry Creek, and their message was clear - neighborhood watch isn't about a handful of block captains patrolling the neighborhood, it's about people looking out for each other and keeping the lines of communication open. Looking at the capital projects added to our wish list today, I see that most focused around enhancing our public meeting spaces, be it by providing more seating, building more grills or creating smaller gathering spaces around the neighborhood. And while we've heard some feedback to the contrary, today's consensus seemed to be that continuing to sponsor activities that bring neighbors together is a good thing.

As a board member, I'm happy to engage our residents and members in conversations around where to take the neighborhood, and as a resident of the neighborhood I'm just plain happy to meet people. To that end, I'm going to start holding president's hour with coffee and snacks at my house from 7 PM to 8 PM on the second Thursday of every month, starting on December 13. I'm in the white one story at 3307 Silkgrass Bend and I hope to see you around some time!

Cheers,
