You can join Judy, Democratic delegates, and your District 9 neighbors this Sunday, August 24, for a big party called the City to City Pachanga (web site here). It runs from noon to 6 p.m. at 7th and Santa Fe Drive in the district — live music, awesome food, wine and beer, giveaways, and a lot of other fun.
Judy and Council colleagues Rick Garcia and Paul Lopez are on the organizing committee. So are School Board rep Arturo Jimenez; former council members Elbra Wedgeworth and Tim Sandos; state reps Jerry Frangas, Judy Solano, and Dorothy Butcher; and state senators Paula Sandoval and Abel Tapia. The governor and the mayor are both invited, as are all the Democrats in Colorado’s Congressional delegation (including U.S. Senator Ken Salazar).
The purpose of the gathering is to celebrate the 40th anniversary of a landmark law, the Fair Housing Act. There will also be a wrapup of the DNC mural project which Judy helped to develop (click here for information) in partnership with the Boys & Girls Club. It’s a great way to kick off one of the biggest weeks in Denver’s (and District 9′s) history — don’t miss it.
