[CPN] Cabinet in Community: Postponed!

Hi, Friends,

 

Our Cabinet in the Community meeting that was scheduled for this Saturday, June 30^th, has been postponed in order to honor fallen Police Officer Celena Hollis, who was shot and killed in the line of duty on Sunday evening.  Mayor Michael B. Hancock and City Officials plan to attend her funeral service on that day.

 

The Mayor has asked the entire City and County of Denver to keep this fallen officer, her daughter, family and loved ones in their thoughts and prayers. These moments are never easy, he said, and we remain saddened by this great loss to our community and city family. Our officers have lost a comrade and a friend, and our residents have lost an advocate for peace and justice.

 

This is a tragedy for all of us, the mayor said, but make no mistake: We will not surrender our city to this specter of senseless and needless violence. We must stand united, hold true to safeguarding our streets, neighborhoods and residents and maintain the high level of safety throughout Denver. 

 

The city's commitment to the Cabinet in the Community remains, and we look forward to meeting at the Rude Park Recreation Center later this summer.  The new date to put in your calendar is Aug. 18, 2012.  Please share this information with your friends, family and colleagues.

 

Respectfully,

Michael
