[The Network] Hope Tank at Better Block Project

I wanted to let you all know about a new shop that I have opened in
the Santa Fe Art District. It is called Hope Tank, and is a Boutique
with a charitable mission. 10% of all sales are donated to the charity
of choice of each artist. I have jewelry, clothing, furniture,
children's items, and more from over 30 local artists. We are trying
to help people to shop with a conscience. Each item comes with a card
that says which charity was supported by the purchase. Please see our
website for more information: www.HopeTank.org OR visit us on
Facebook: www.Facebook.com/hopetank. If you know artists who make
unique items that would make great gifts, and they would want to tie
their work with a charity, have them get in touch with me!!

We are proud to have been invited to participate in the Jefferson Park
Better Block Project. Better Block project is made up of a coalition
of local non-profits, volunteers, businesses and civic leaders that
are joining forces in an effort to restore vibrancy to one Denver
community starting with the transformation of one city block. The
project is called "Better Block Jefferson Park" and is modeled after
the Better Block initiative started in Dallas two years ago.

The project aims to create temporary, quick, inexpensive and high-
impact changes that start to cast a vision and lead to permanent
solutions for attracting economic development and revitalizing
neighborhoods throughout Denver. For one day a historic block in the
Denver Highlands neighborhood of Jefferson Park, will be sprinkled
with inviting shade trees, flowers and pedestrian benches. Boarded up,
forgotten storefronts will be transformed into unique pop-up shops
showcasing local artists creating a new dynamic street life that
rewards the pedestrian stroll.

On June 23rd from 10AM to 8PM, West 25th Avenue between Federal
Boulevard and Eliot Street will be transformed into a vibrant "Living
Street"

There will be official remarks from 11:30 AM – 12:30 PM from Mayor
Michael B. Hancock, Councilwoman Susan K. Shepard and Paul Washington
of the Office of Economic Development.

With live music, fresh produce, arts and crafts, landscaping and an
interactive art project, the demonstration could easily be mistaken
for a street festival however, attendees will realize it's much more
than that. It's about a community reclaiming our streets.

The event is free and open to the public. Neighbors, Realtors, city
officials, planners, economic development professionals, artists and
anyone interested in seeing how a block and a community can be
transformed are encouraged to attend. How will you make a difference
in your community?

So come see us and see a little bit about what we are doing.
