From GPHC Chair LeAnn Anderson

At last years’ Greater Park Hill Community Annual Meeting, Roberta Locke was voted in as the 2014 GPHC Chair. Shortly thereafter, Roberta experienced complications related to a medical procedure. Although Roberta continues to improve and recover, she advised the GPHC Co-Chair and Executive Committee that she will be unable to serve as Chair. As last year’s GPHC Chair and current Co-Chair, I have agreed to serve as the 2014 Chair. Roberta graciously agreed to continue to serve as the Fundraising Chair and member of the GPHC Executive Committee.

GPHC wishes Roberta the best in her recovery and looks forward to working with her in her Fundraising Chair and Executive Committee roles.

In addition to a new Chair-Elect, the Greater Park Hill Community Board of Governors is seeking committed Park Hill residents to fill several vacancies. They include:

• District 1 (represents the geographic area within Colorado Boulevard to Elm Street, north of 29th Avenue)

• District 8 (represents the geographic area within Niagara Street to Quebec Street, north of 29th Avenue)

• District 9 (represents the geographic area within Magnolia Street to Quebec street, between 19th and 29th avenues)

• One At-Large representative, living anywhere in Park Hill

Several GPHC Committee Chairs also need to be filled, including a Health/Human Services Chair, Human Relations Chair, and a Public Information Chair.

Finally, delegate spots are also open within several GPHC sponsor churches, including:

• Cure d’Ars Catholic Church

• East Denver Church of God

• Good Shepherd Baptist

• King Baptist

• Montview Presbyterian Church

• Park Hill Congregational Church

• Park Hill United Methodist Church

If you are interested in learning more about being on the Board of Governors, or serving as a committee chair or delegate, attend a board meeting or two, introduce yourself and get to know more about the organization. The meetings are generally the first Thursday of each month beginning at 6:30 p.m.; the next one is Thursday, March 6 at the GPHC offices, 2823 Fairfax St.

Hope to see you there.
