Hey everyone. Maurice Rowe here. If you want to make your voice heard and earn $$$$$$ while doing so, then the next focus group is for you. Remember that the focus groups are very short, only about and hour or so. You will be asked about 6 questions and that's it. You are paid for your valuable time on the spot! The groups are very fun and open. All the participants who have come have left with much more than they came in with. So when is the next one you ask? It is Saturday June 6th at 7pm at the CAMP building, 3026 cherokee street.
Lead Focus Groups at CAMP
As part of a grant-fund project by the GGEF, we are seeking to meet with city residents to see how you feel the city is handling lead and housing issues. The focus groups go for about an hour and a half. There will be refreshments and you earn $20 for participating! So if you love sharing your views or know someone who does, I'll see you at CAMP, located at 3026 Cherokee St. in South St. Louis.
The next two scheduled focus groups will be Tuesday April 14th at 7pm. And on Tuesday April 28th at 7pm. Both will be at the CAMP building. If you have kids, we have plenty of things to keep them occupied. Be sure to check out the CAMP calendar at http://stlcamp.org/event for other events too.

Greentime TV # 310: Lead in St. Louis Schools
In October 2008 parents expressed concern with lead contamination at Roe School, the new location of the Early Childhood Center. After pressure, the appointed Special Administrative Board (SAB) said that money for lead abatement was found. Months since the problem was made public, has the SAB removed the lead? Host Don Fitz, School Board member Donna Jones, and Daren O’Brien, Vice-President of Kennard CJA PTO, discuss the role of St. Louis government in protecting children’s health. This Green Time (No. 310) is produced by the Gateway Greens in conjunction with KDHX.

We are desperately in need of someone to take notes.
The discussion will cover four issues:

2. How would you like the City’s to improve its approach to lead poisoning?
3. What do you like about the City’s approach to the housing crisis?
