The North Lawndale Community Coordinating Council will be surveying North Lawndale stakeholders to get a sense for what their planning priorities are, through an online survey developed by CMAP, as well as through hard copies to make sure that we can reach people who may not have access to computers. Please let us know if you and your church, block club, organization, business establishment, school, or institution would be willing to help administer and collect surveys. These are the following options:
1. Administer and collect surveys door to door.
2. Administer and collect surveys at a public location.
3. Administer and collect surveys at an apartment building.
4. Administer and collect surveys at a church
5. Administer and collect surveys at your organization’s meeting(s)
6. Administer and collect surveys at public meetings (with permission from the host)
7. Administer and collect surveys to school students in school.
8. Administer and collect surveys to school students during an after-school or summer programs.
9. Administer and collect surveys during your block club meeting.
10. Administer and collect surveys at a place of business.
Surveys should be ready by March 21st. We will be collecting data for at least 1 month, no longer than 2 months. We will probably need to develop a separate tool for business owners.

As you may be aware, the North Lawndale Community Coordinating Council will be hosting our first annual North Lawndale Community Planning Conference on April 16, 2016, from 11:00 am until 3:00 pm at DRW College Preparatory High School, 931 South Homan Avenue. We expect 200 community stakeholders to attend and provide input into the planning process. We are blessed that Kevin Sutton, Vice President of the Foundation for Homan Square, has agreed to be the chairman of the conference planning committee and we thank him.
We want to make sure the event is accessible to anyone who’d like to attend. Although the event will be offered free of charge, there are still costs associated with notifying the entire community and producing a top-notch event with food and materials to facilitate discussion. We are asking each of our Steering Committee members to make a contribution of $100.00. We are asking rank and file NLCCC members to contribute whatever you can. We are asking everyone to reach out to your organizations, neighbors, local businesses and other stakeholders to ask them to consider sponsoring the event or making a tax-exempt contribution to a cause that will benefit the community greatly. If we do this work as intended, we will have improved the physical environment in North Lawndale while improving the capacity of our residents, organizations and businesses to take advantage of the benefits the changes to the physical environment will bring.
