20-year old Ben Poor (from ball state university...and new palestine, indiana!!) is walking from New Palestine to New Orleans and raising money for Emergency Communities on the way! it's pretty amazing. he should arrive thursday around 2:00 so things are going to be pretty awesome around here. updates to come...
tomorrow night is "national night out against crime" we're having a cookout in front of the center and then sitting in the grass until midnight. a bunch of the organizations here are planning events to show drug dealers and crime committers (ha, what is the name for that?) that this is our neighborhood and we won't be run out!
and last but not least listen to the Steve Harvey morning show this week!! the 5th annual Hoodie Awards are being nominated and voted on this week- "the Hoodie Awards recognize our everyday figures and buisness owners for their beliefs, courage and commitment." i'm nominating "Dirty Darin- mechanic and handyman" Darin McKinney is a long time resident of the Lower Ninth Ward and has been doing work on homes since before Katrina. Once the center opened up here Darin has been our righthand man- taking crews out to houses all over town, fixing things around site, grilling burgers for the barbque etc. so listen to the show or check back here so you know when to vote for Darin!! http://steveharvey.com/hoodie_awards/
