If you have not been able to sign this important petition to put the Henzell Park land swap to a vote of the people, please come to City Park this evening for Jazz In The Park. Circulators with petitions will be available before, during and after the concert. They can easily be spotted by their bright green tee-shirts.
All petitions will be turned in tomorrow to the Clerk and Recorders office.
NO JOY IN MUDVILLE TONIGHT
As you may have heard already Judge Stern did not grant our request for an injunction. To quote John Case “This is only round one in a fifteen round fight.” This injunction request is not our only egg in the basket and there are several legal avenues that we will be pursuing ardently. Most urgently is our need to get at least 6500 signatures by Monday July 1.
We have 4000 signatures in hand with over 90 petitions outstanding. If 90 petitions had only 20 signatures on each one then that would be 1800 signatures and put us over the top. To have 8000 signatures would be even better to make up for those signatures that are not valid. AND TO THINK HOW FAR WE HAVE COME IN 30 DAYS. WE CAN DO THIS.
Please join us for this last big push.
Game Plan for circulating petitions this weekend.
Friday: Rockies game, Meet up on the overpass/viaduct entrance to Coors field tonight from 5:30 to 6:30PM.
Saturday: Rockies game, meet up on the overpass/viaduct 1 to 2:30PM.
Sunday: Meet up at City Park we want to have as many petition circulators as possible for the thousands who attend Jazz in the Park. 5PM to 8PM .

Thank you to everyone for all your hard work and dedication to saving Hentzell Park Natural Area, and continuing on with the fight.
In the bigger scheme there are other natural spaces and open areas ready and ripe for the developers and Mayor Hancock to divvy up. We can’t stop now, nor can we accept this as our reality.
We expect to have two news releases next week documenting our next steps in the legal process.

Dear Friends of Denver Parks,
We’ve had a tremendous response in the last two weeks at the People’s Fair and Gay Pride Festival from Denver registered voters. And we’ve made lots of new Friends of Denver Parks. So would like to say hello to those who are new and have agreed to take petitions and circulate them, and for those just joining our list.
