Crosswalk Painting at Jerree St and Stillwell Ave.
Saturday, Sept 2, 10am-2pm
The City of Lansing’s Neighborhoods, Art, and Citizen Engagement department awarded us a grant to paint the crosswalks at the intersection of Jerree St. and Stillwell Ave. this summer. If you have ideas for what kind of design you would like on these crosswalks, please submit ideas to Elizabeth at hossinke@gmail.com by Friday, June 16. The designs will have to be relatively simple, as we will only have 2-3 colors to work with and we want to use stencils to make the painting process simple. We will vote on the design at the neighborhood picnic on June 20, and paint the crosswalks on September 2. On the day of the painting, we will need volunteers for traffic control as well as the painting itself.
We have helped hundreds of our neighborhood kids repair their bicycles for safer use in our community.
This is a free event for the children in our neighborhood.
Sponsored by CDCA, residents will have a place to dispose of items from your yard, home and garage.
The dumpster was at the Wainwright elementary school parking lot. The dumpster was available for the residents of the
Churchill Downs Community Association.
The Churchill Downs Community Association has planted flowers in the planters located by the signs that stand at the entryways to our neighborhood. Volunteers worked together, in order to plant some lovely flowers at our Churchill Downs permanent entryway signs. Thank you ladies, for helping to make our neighborhood entry's look more inviting.
Thank you everyone who joined us for our annual Christmas Celebration. We voted for the top three houses displaying Christmas lights.
