[Electronic-lan] information for LAN + CDBG help

Wed Aug 21 12:15:27 CDT 2019

Hi Dani,
Thanks for your prompt and thoughtful response to the our member's 
concerns.  I hope this will help the neighborhoods understand the 
transition you are making. I know you are doing your best to make it 
seamless.

On another matter, the Executive Committee of the Sunset Hill 
Neighborhood Association (SHNA) <https://nam01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fsunsethillna.org%2F&data=02%7C01%7Celectronic-lan%40lists.ku.edu%7C29100c644344439d5d0708d7265b2cb7%7C3c176536afe643f5b96636feabbe3c1a%7C0%7C1%7C637020045347210672&sdata=kwnowoqwgcOT%2FojnvI4tePymWLe%2F0hqY1pj6WdmSqu4%3D&reserved=0>, has been 
approached to support a CDBG public service proposal in 2020.  Would 
someone in your office be able to make a short presentation to the EC on 
submitting a public service application at their summer meeting next 
Monday, August 26? Habitat for Humanity will be presenting on their CD 
proposal at the this meeting. Here are the details:

    Monday, August 26, 6:00 pm
    Fellowship Hall, Christ Covenant Church,
    2312 Harvard Rd, Lawrence, KS 66049

SHNA has not been fully CDBG eligible until this year, so we have no 
experience with the process. We will not meet again until early December.
Thanks again!
Gary Webber, President, SHNA
