• Linda Proffitt discussed the “1 By Youth” event, scheduled for May 1st. 1,000 to 2,000 middle school and high school children will descend upon our neighborhood for a day of service. Thirty-seven projects have been identified throughout St. Clair Place and other nearby neighborhoods. If you have a project that you would like to be considered at your residence (for example, planting a garden, painting exterior trim or a fence, removing overgrown plants and weeds, etc.), you can contact Emerson at emerson@globalpeaceinitiatives.net, or call Linda at 222-1556. If you are interested in helping volunteer for the 1 By Youth event, please contact Linda or Emerson.
• Geneva Travis, Outreach Coordinator for I-AD, shared about the St. Clair Place Home Repair Project. If you are a homeowner living in St. Clair Place, are current on residential taxes, and your household is no more than 80% of the Annual Median Income, then you may qualify for free home repairs. Priority will be given to those homeowners who did not previously participate in the Rebuilding Together home repairs program. If you would like more information or would like to apply, please contact Geneva at 808-2310 or gtravis@enn.org.
