More than 200 neighbors attended the Rosedale Harvard Gulch Neighborhood Association’s inaugural charity Rosedale Lantern Festival on October 11. Thanks to all who came and made it a grand success!
The Harvard Gulch golf course was aglow with more than 150 lanterns hanging from the trees. Lanterns were made by artists, neighbors and school children. Kids of all ages walked the lantern trail with their hand held lanterns. Money was raised by charging adults $3 admission, selling refreshments, renting hand held lanterns and a silent auction.
Kids enjoyed free games, and music was graciously provided by Rosedale neighbors Kurt Jones and Krewe De Groove.
Thanks go out to our Premier Sponsors Campus Cycles and Porter Adventist Hospital, both longtime supporters of RHGNA. Additionally, thanks to generous donations from Rosedale businesses, Rosedale neighbors and employees of Baker Hughes, we raised $2,800 for Urban Peak!

May 2014 General Meeting
Thank you to all our neighbors for getting involved and attending the meeting at the Harvard Gulch Golf Clubhouse. Below are some of the highlights. Please also check out 'Committees' page and the detailed updates posted on there.
Mary Shea from Porter Hospital announced a health program available for Rosedale residents. The program is focused on learning to live the 8 Essentials of Optimum Health.The program, Creation Health, will feature an online community, and hopes to provide recipes and exercise groups. If you are interested in learning more about the program, contact Mary at maryshea@centura.org or via phone at 303-778-5710.
Stacia, a Denver Park Ranger, informed the neighborhood there are 5 rangers available to address issues of safety and resource management. During park hours of 5am-11pm, please call 311 and ask for a park ranger to address any concerns about safety, animal protection, park rules, problems with picnic areas or bathrooms or other issues. After hours, please contact Denver Police. A list of park rules can be found here.
Greg Kaiser, Denver Parks and Rec, provided an update on the Harvard Gulch Irrigation project. The non-potable irrigation system has been installed. However, the park will continue to use potable water until Denver Water can deliver ditch water to the system - probably sometime in 2016. Resodding continues to repair areas that were damaged during the project. More details on our Committees page under Parks.
Nathan Batchelder, Aide to District 7 City Council Member Chris Nevitt, reminded citizens of standing neighborhood office hours. Neighbors are welcome to call ahead and make sure the Councilman will be present, but an appointment is not required. Councilman Nevitt is available at Kaladi Brothers on Evans the 3rd.
