12/01/2008 - 8:30pm

Intercambio is a program through IFCLA (the Inter-Faith Committee on Latin America) that places English and Spanish speakers in contact with one another. There is no fee; participants simply have to be willing to share their language and/or culture with the other person. IFCLA meets every Monday @ CAMP at 7:30pm.

The general format: Half of the conversation time will be practicing English and the other half will be in Spanish, discussing cultural differences, similarities and other experiences such as immigration.

Please vote on proposals for BPW $25k seed money

The voting page is up for the 3 proposals about how to spend the $25k seed money being invested in Benton Park West. All the proposals are pretty awesome.

Cherokee ComEunity HUB
Community-based design will transform a strategically-located intersection into a plaza atmosphere.

Seeds of Change
We propose creating series of community gardens on vacant LRA lots throughout the Benton Park West Neighborhood.

WasabiNet
We propose setting up $9.99/month wireless Internet throughout Cherokee St. using Mesh Node Wi-Fi Technology. The network would be co-operatively owned by all subscribers.
