Of all the registered neighborhood associations (RNAs) in Denver, the Lower Downtown Neighborhood Association (LoDoNA) is almost surely the most generous. In addition to the usual RNA activities (neighborhood watches, anti-graffiti campaigns, bureaucratic watchdogging, and the like), LoDoNA expends great time and energy — and above all money — on behalf of charitable causes.
Most of the recipients of LoDoNA’s generosity lie in District 9. They include the Colorado Coalition for the Homeless, the Bienvenidos Food Bank, Family Homestead, Urban Peak, North High’s student-assistance program, and residents of the Barth Hotel.
You can support all these efforts — and have a great time in the process — on Saturday, April 7, at Coors Field, where LoDoNA will host the 007 Casino Royale fundraiser. For $65 per person ($125 per couple), you’ll get unlimited access to the gaming tables (roulette, blackjack, Texas Hold ’Em, and craps); food, wine, and music will round out the entertainment. Get more information at the LoDoNA website. Here’s the invite (click on the image for a full-view):
Please come on out, have fun, and support a great organization and some very good causes.
While we’re plugging events: don’t forget to visit Judy and family this weekend at the Picnic on the Platte. And if you haven’t registered yet for the May 1 elections, time to quit stalling — you’ve only got about a week left. Here’s the info you need.
