Q How would you create a welcoming community? A REA BROWN Welcome Welcome Weeeeellllcoooooome If it were Blue, it would be in a zoo, but such a place is not cool for one of my crew If it was Sock, it would be in a shoe, but we might have problems. I’ll invite Boo, too. If it were Christian, Muslim, or Jew, it would be with a view, but if all of them came, I’d hope and pray nobody boooo. If it were True, it would be in families of two, but somebody naked will show because that’s just how they glue. If it were Few, it would be in a queue, as long as I don’t forget who was before who. I could talk about Cow and how he/ she says moooo, Ramble about Lawyer and how they might sue, but all my effort is nothing more than a clue that I don’t know what I would do if it were you, but you’re WELCOME. WAYNE EASTERLING I would create a welcoming community by letting people use their voice and speak their opinion on topics we would all agree on. Everyone would be patient with each other and have more respect for people’s wishes. RAELENE JOHNSON If I were to create a community, I would follow the OUR Center in Longmont, Colorado’s example. From the very first time I walked through the doors of the OUR Center, I knew it was a place where they care about you; if you’re homeless, they will serve you breakfast and lunch. They have caseworkers and volunteers teaching classes in the building. They’re doing all kinds of things to better help the homeless people and to give them resources to get off the streets. They don’t look at you as not as good as they are or different because of how you dress! When you’re coming from the streets, it’s hard to keep clothes clean. It’s hard to have good clothes on. The OUR Center is a great non-profit and a great example of an organization that has made a community for others. If you want to donate or volunteer, or need a place for resources, you can go there. JERRY ROSEN I would create a welcoming community by making it possible for everyone to know one another and understand what is expected of everyone involved. The community would be an environment where everyone feels safe and understands each other’s roles. 14 DENVER VOICE December 2025
