November Combined Social & Meeting
Join your neighbors for our November meeting and social event that will be held at Table Public House.
Our neighbor Lia Campbell will share a presentation on the Federal Boulevard Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) project and the potential impacts on the Ruby Hill neighborhood. The current plan for the Federal BRT project includes widening Federal Blvd between Alameda and Evans by relocating and acquiring right-of-way to add an additional lane on the northbound side of the boulevard. Lia's presentation will discuss the potential impacts of that road widening; she is advocating for Ruby Hill Neighbors RNO to take an official position of opposition to the widening of Federal Boulevard.
Greggory Nelson and his team will also be sharing a request for re-zoning on their property at 1149 South Navajo Street.

Experiential: Our services focus on developing practical skills that increase one’s awareness of implicit bias, ability to communicate effectively, and develop positive social habits.
Empathy Building: Genuine, lasting change starts from within. Our services involve personal exploration and connecting to a range of emotions. We aim to unpack and reframe long held beliefs that create unsustainable work environments for marginalized people.
Realness: We embrace and encourage authenticity and vulnerability. Our services aim to reveal hard truths in ways that can be received, followed by the emotional support and action steps to best work towards your goals.
Intersectional: Our approach aims to be holistic of the social and personal needs that impact lasting cultural change in your workplace. We acknowledge the multiple layers of oppression that create unsustainable work environments for marginalized people.

🎨 Artist Installation Sign Reveal 🎨
Have you ever wondered who the little caped robot holding a bird on Jewell Avenue is? Meet Haiku.
Haiku was created by Ruby Hill local artist, Dave Pendleton, to encourage people to stay curious. Dave first guerrilla installed his Haiku print on Jewell Avenue back in 2018. Haiku has been a source of joy and light in the neighborhood for years, gently reminding Ruby Hillians to use their powers for good. In the past five years, the sign has unfortunately been graffitied and a frequent site for litter and illegal dumping. In 2023, Ruby Hill Neighbors received a Denver Community Active Living Coalition (CALC) grant to conduct litter cleanups and replace the sign with a new graffiti resistant cover. Join us in the unveiling of the new Haiku sign!
Learn more about Haiku and purchase your own print here!
🎉 Celebrate 🎉
This event is not just about hard work and art appreciation; it's also about having a blast! Following the clean up and art reveal, join us for some refreshments and barbecue. More information to come!
