NOTES: Perk Pups Soccer Team to begin for their 3rd season September 10th-November 5th, 2011.  Coach Joe Lindwall and (new this year) Coach Katie Bellon will get creative in keeping those 3-5 yr olds engaged in fun drills. This is mostly an “active social” group, allowing kiddos to romp and parents to connect, and Wash Perk is the VERY FORTUNATE sponsor :-P

Contact Joe at joelindwall@hotmail.com before August 18th if you haven’t already.  This year we will create a sub group of “Perk Puppies” for the <3yr old siblings!

GOODBYE and HELLO!


There are lots of transitions that have been happening and will continue in the weeks ahead.  I’ve shared already about JASON “BEAR” BERRETT coming on board and that ASHLEIGH EDELMAN will be leaving us after nearly 3 years at the Perk…. A few more losses for us in August:  ZOE LEANZA  will head to Macalester College in St. Paul, MN;  KRISTEN BAIR will embark on her semester at sea in the Caribbean!!! (part of her Scripps College curriculum); MADELINE OVERLY is taking on an adventure, moving to the pacific northwest and challenging herself to learn and grow.  We will so feel their absence…and we remain grateful and happy about the times we’ve shared.  Zoe and Kristen will return on their breaks!


And the new faces to welcome are CHELSEA ACERS and CODY McLAUGHLIN as baristas extraordinaire, both experienced and both lovely people; MK SAGARIA will begin as our weekday manager (she has been our Perkolator Ambassador since March); BEN EASTER will join us at the Perkolator;  and we will welcome back HOLLIE CAZZANIGI since she gave birth to her second child, Emma Grace.

The November 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. Please note that Board meetings are typically held on the first Tuesday of the month.







Washington/Emerson Two Way Reversion Meeting 


Thu, November 5, 6:30pm – 8:00pm at Epiphany Lutheran Church, Ohio and Corona




Since the last public meeting on this Councilman Nevitt and the West Washington Park Neighborhood Association have been negotiating with Denver Public Works. These negotiations have come to fruition, at long last. Public Works has committed to making substantial changes to these streets to mitigate non-neighborhood traffic, and will perform a final evaluation in 5 years for complete reversion to two-way. The details are a bit long for an email thread, but there is significant progress (and in my opinion, there is light at the end of the tunnel). During this meeting I will present the details of the plan, and facilitate a discussion with you, the impacted neighbors. The Manger of Traffic, Brian Mitchell, will be in attendance to answer questions, along with Councilman Nevitt, who has been integral to obtaining this agreement. I hope you are able to attend, and feel free to pass this along to others who live on Washington and Emerson so they may attend as well.


Perk Pups Soccer


Sat, November 7, 10am – 11am in Wash Park, grassy area behind Dos Chappelle Bathouse

p.m. at 809 S. Washington Street at Ohio. All proceeds go to WSCC.


Volunteers are needed for the days prior to the sale starting on Wednesday,

November 4, to help set up. (This is a great way to get a sneak peek at what

will be available for sale!) Volunteers are also needed to help after the

sale. (This is a great way to walk away with anything left unsold!)


Any amount of time you have to volunteer will be very much appreciated.

Please contact Jane Craft at 303-733-4643, or stop by WSCC to sign up.




FALL LEAF DROP


Sun, November 8, 10am – 4pm Southeast – South High School (Louisiana Ave. & Franklin St.)




It’s time once again to rake up and recycle the leaves in your yard and help make sure that they are turned into compost!  On the first three Sundays in November (Nov. 1, 8 & 15), residents may drop off an unlimited amount of leaves at five Leaf Drop locations. LeafDrop is brought to you by Denver Recycles, a program of Solid Waste Management/Denver Pubic Works.  Removing yard debris, such as leaves, from our waste stream is important in reducing our impact on global warming and the environment. Consider recycling your leaves by digging them into your garden, composting them at home or using a lawn mower to mulch small amounts into your grass. Using your fallen leaves in this manner can help you create a healthy lawn or garden!  Remember to never sweep your leaves into the street. This clogs up storm sewers and street sweeper vehicles.


Children’s Hospital Race for Fetal Hope


Sun, November 8, 10am – 12pm in Washington Park


Event Web site: http://www.fetalhope.org/page.php?id=65 Online Registration URL http://www.raceforfetalhope.org
