Summer of Peace
Irna Landrum | Blog | Wednesday June 9 2010
This summer residents and community organizations are doing what they can to promote peace and unity in the community.Summit-University Planning Council, along with our partners at Aurora St. Anthony Neighborhood Development Corporation and District 7 Planning Council are carrying forth the third annual Summer of Peace. Summer of Peace is a traveling block party, where we bring the party to you. Each Thursday this summer, we will be bringing food, fun activities, and prizes to an intersection near you.
On June 3rd, we kicked off the summer by planting a peace pole and the first seeds for a community garden at the corner of Concordia (Old Rondo Avenue) and Victoria. This past Thursday, June 24th, we celebrated with homeowners who have benefited from the Hearts and Hammers home rehab program and shared information with residents about how to apply. Click here to see where we’ll be during the month of July.
This looks like a really exciting event! I’m looking forward to it.
I can’t wait to get more involved with the community!!
