Lansing Community Dream Project:

5K Walk and Run on June 3rd

The Community Dream Project is a partnership between Lansing Eastern High School and Lansing Catholic High School in which the goal or dream is to build an Athletic Stadium that will bene-fit not only these two schools, but the Eastside community as well.

Eastern played its last “home” football game on campus about 1950, while LCC has never had a field to call home. The “Dream” would resolve a half century of playing at off-campus sites for both schools. The stadium would be home to Eastern and LCC football, soccer and track. In addition, it could be used for marching band per-formances and as an eastside location for staging a variety of community events.

To support this project, the Community Dream project will be hosting a 5K Walk/Run on June 3rd, 2007 at 9:00 AM. The non-competitive race will start in front of Lansing Eastern High School and will finish on the old cross-country course.

Sign-up for the race can be done in advance for $15 per person or before 9:00 on the day of the event for $25. Families pay $40 or $50 at the gate, and the student rate is $10 with an ID.

Edging Towards Community:

Your Neighbors Beautifies Leslie and Regent Streets

by Matt, John, Sarah, Bethany, and Elijah of Your Neighbors In April, a flood pole was installed in the Elizabeth Park to educate people about just how much water could flow into the Eastside if there were a major flood.

Neighbors and ANC staff had a fun time rais-ing the 15.5 ft. pole. We re-membered the 1975 f lood which occurred 32 years be-fore, leaving 7 feet of water in this area. We

encourage Eastsiders to walk or bike to the Elizabeth Park and check out the pole. Can you tell how high the water was in 1975 or would be if flooding reached the 100 year flood levels?

The pole is part of the Floodplain Garden Project which will have displays about the history of flooding in Lansing and how to prepare for floods. Along with the pole there will be a demonstration rain garden.

Please join us on June 2 from 8:30 AM to 2:00 PM for park cleanup and the planting of the rain garden. Elizabeth Park is located south of Kalamazoo and can be entered in the 500 block of Mifflin or Charles Streets. If you want to volunteer or have questions, call Ann or Jen at 367-2468 ext. 2012.

Flood Plain Garden Project

and Elizabeth Park Cleanup

A group of Eastsiders recently came together to form a new neighborhood group called Your Neighbors.

On May 5, 2007 residents on Leslie and Regent Streets (between Michigan and Kalamazoo) organized a side-walk edging day to e n h a n c e t h e neighborhood and b u i l d c o m m u -nity. Over 35 peo-

ple of all ages gathered on a beautiful Spring day to lend a hand, meet their neighbors and edge almost a mile of sidewalk! To celebrate a long day of hard work, Your Neighbors had a potluck picnic, complete with s'mores and good con-versation.

This informal group of Leslie and Regent Street neighbors is fo-cused on beautifying our streets and building our community. Your Neighbors is simply what it sounds like…we are the people who live next door, across the street or one street yonder.

Your Neighbors will con-tinue to build on the suc-cess of this first event to further build community in our front yards. For more information con-tact J.T. Stout at 371-5438.

T h e A N C E m e r g e n c y R e s p o n s e Team main-tains a confi-dential list of residents to be contacted or who may need assis-tance in an emergency such as a flood, power outage or severe weather conditions. This service is for neighborhoods bounded by Michigan Avenue, I-496, Pennsyl-vania and Clippert Street. To be added to the list, call Ann or Jen at 367-2467 ext. 2012.

Community Builder’s Toolbox Ideas and Information for Strengthening Neighborhoods

If you are having problems making your mortgage payments you are not alone. Last year there were over 1300 sheriff sales in Ingham County.

Our county is not alone in dealing with high foreclosure rates. Michi-gan is 3rd in the country for fore-closures. And the projections are that the numbers are only going to get worse before they get better.

A recent study found that 66% of people who go through the fore-closure process never contact their lender, or local housing coun-seling agency to ask for help.

Whether you are behind on your taxes, or your house payments assistance is available. And the sooner you ask for help the better. The best thing you can do is con-tact your lender, or the tax office and talk to them about your situa-tion. Most borrowers do not know that options are available to them such as working out a repayment plan or selling the house before it is foreclosed.

The Allen Neighborhood Center offers foreclosure prevention counseling. If you would like more information please contact Jason Weller at (517) 999-3913 or via email at [email protected].

City of Lansing Home Rehabilitation Project

If you are a homeowner looking to fix up or do some home repairs the city of Lansing is still looking for applicants for its Single Family Housing Rehabilitation Program. For more information contact Ja-son Weller at (517) 999-3913.

Facts on Foreclosure By Jason Weller

There are many useful websites that can help foster neighbor-to-neighbor connections. Social net-working sites like MySpace and Facebook are widely known, but here are two places you may not have heard of:

Freecycle is an online network of individuals that share free re-sources. As an individual you can join and become a part of it. Once you join you may send an e-mail to the group if you want to give something away for free, or if there is something you want to get for free. To join this network of p e o p l e v i s i t : h t t p : / /groups.yahoo.com/group/mmfn/. Visit the Allen Neighborhood Cen-ter if you want help joining!

CraigsList is another online re-source. There are listings for jobs, housing, services, and items for sale. Visit: http://lansing.craigs-list.org/ to get connected to these resources.

Several people from the Lansing area, including ANC, have come together to create a network of lo-

cally-owned businesses. This group is called Capital Area Local First, or CALF. While still in the formative stages, this group is tak-ing some steps to get organized.

CALF members hope to kick off with an event this fall. They are also looking into ways to make it easy to identify locally-owned busi-nesses. Some suggestions include a logo, a window decal, a directory, and website.

If you'd like to get involved or just ask some questions, please visit the website www.localfirst.info or contact Jeff Johnson (Bake n' Cakes) at (517) 930-8947, Jim Ja-barra (Green River Café) at 517.712-8481, or Katharine Czarnecki at (517) 853-6464.
