    Surprise! I wasn't going to put this info. out until tomorrow, but we have formed a new non-profit organization. We call it-
    Chicago Urban Art Retreat Center. We have made some changes, but what you know about us is still appropriate!
    We still have our mission, programs, and community work. We volunteers are still here. We could use some community support! That would be nice! Currently both organizations are existing. One is phasing out and one is phasing in. We are streamlining our commitments and programming to be more efficient and effective.
    I hope people will come to our Celebration on May 26 and have a cup of tea in the afternoon after 1p.m.!

Spreading the word

by Rosa

Hi,
Just want to let pple kno that there are a few hispanic males who are knocking on doors and asking for some else or saying that some one sent them to check out pipes. They try to distract the person in the house or have them show them somthing outside. While the other enters the house and robs them. This happened to my parents who are old in the little village neighborhood. Its sad when your own race is doing this to their own pple. Well jus warning you all out there if you alone or parents live alone. Pass out the word.

    We also discussed the Cook County redistricting process. We provided background on how the Census is used to determine representation in Congress; develop political boundaries at the state and local levels and allocate funds for entitlement programs. We expressed our desire that the 2nd District be preserved as a West Side district, and include the boundaries for the 24th Ward and 9th Legislative District.

I thank Lucille Morris Tomlinson and her 2nd grade class at LEARN Charter School for a warm welcome on May 10, 2012. Lucille invited me to share information with the children regarding the North Lawndale African American Heritage Quilting Project. In turn, they shared their Black History Month presentations, which included reports and poster boards. After the children shared their presentations they brainstormed ways their presentations could be translated into a quilt for the quilting project. We will meet next week to begin to prepare quilt blocks for the quilt. If you are interested in helping out, please, let me know. We are also pulling together quilts for the Bethune Service Day. We have commitments for 5 quilts to date, and we need commitments to complete 5 more by June 1st.

I just received information tonight about a subject who may be responsible for the recent car burglaries in the entire area around Cermak and Keeler. These burglaries are usually done by pulling the lock on the driver's door.

Here is the description of the subject seen around 3 am, looking in cars:
male black; 25-27 years old; dark skinned; thin build; around 5'5"; clean shaven; walks with limp (possibly right leg)

If you see this subject hanging around, call the police.

From New Bike Racks - where did they come from?:

"Just curious about the new bike racks you see through Lakeview. They are cool colors and in the shape of a bike. I like them and just wondering if they were purchased by the city or some how locally. Any comments would be helpful?"
