with mikey at "ze' lake" I was able to sit at his computer and work on finalizing the Arts Commission grant.

there's a buzz here at the RDA...the recycle buzz mostly. The door opens, chimes, and Linda goes to work explaining the new program to interested residents.

I enjoy the bustle, as do I enjoy re-reading the fortune cookie taped to mikey's monitor:
'Maybe you can live on the moon in the next century'.

yeah. lets ;-)

I added a link to information on Joe Faus, our muralist, to the side panel.

I also added pertinent demographic information to the grant app... you may be interested in the info:

Rosedale is a community in Kansas City, Kansas. We are a lower income ethnically diverse community in the urban core. Our overall education level is low and the population is fairly transient in nature due to high levels of rental property. KU medical Center along with 400 area business sits within Rosedale. 22.5% of youth 18-24 years of age have not completed high school or earned a GED. Our middle school population is 53% Hispanic, 21% African American, 21% Caucasian and 5% Asian. 85% of students are on free or reduced cost meals. Our median household income was $28,573 in the 2000 U.S Census.

I love the idea: ethnically diverse. such beauty in that idea, yes?
what I wish most? To get more people from KUMC aware of the mentoring opportunties available in this community. What's the Dean's hope? 8 hours of community service in 2008.
Rosedale awaits you.
