PROGRAM FEATURES...

September 18 - Our speaker today was Reid Lawrence, Executive Director of the Housing Authority. The Housing Authority was created by the city but is not an entity of the city. The Housing Authority is the city’s largest landlord. Mr. Lawrence talked about the rebuilding of Happy Hills and Kimberly Park housing developments. They are now mixed income communities. The goal of the Authority for residents is, “in, up and out.” Anyone wanting to live in one of these communities has to participate in a program that teaches them to become more productive citizens which creates better lives, better jobs and better families. The Authority raises funds to send residents to schools and it awards 34 scholarships a year.

September 25 - P.J. Lannihan from Nature’s Select brought us a humorous but also informative talk today on how to care for our lawns. He discussed ways to control Bermuda grass, how to kill weeds, the different types of grass seed, and the best time and proper way to fertilize our lawns. Thank you Mr. Lanihan for very interesting talk.
