1) H1N1 Flu Vaccine Clinic at Bingham School – Open to All
Brought to you by Ingham County Health Department, Allen Neighborhood Center, and Bingham Elementary School.
There will be a FREE H1N1 flu shot clinic at Bingham Elementary on Thursday, March 18 between 1:00 and 7:00 PM. Nurses from the Ingham Health Department will give the shots, and staff from Allen Neighborhood Center will be there to sign people up for free health coverage for the uninsured (Ingham Health Plan), to answer questions about programs that can help you save money on your energy bills, and provide information about all of our programs.
People with the highest risk of getting the flu are children and young adults, pregnant women, and adults 25 to 64 who have chronic health problems. Healthy adults might not get sick from the flu, but they can still carry it to their family members and friends without knowing they have it. The U.S. Center for Disease Control (CDC) says that getting a shot is the best way to prevent the H1N1 flu. Children under the age of nine must receive two flu shots one month apart from one another. To make it easy for you, Allen Neighborhood Center will be having another free flu shot clinic on Tuesday, April 20 between 1:00 and 8:00 PM at Calvary Christian Fellowship – 1611 E. Kalamazoo St., so that you can bring your child for their second shot then.
It is important that you talk to your family doctor or a nurse if you have any questions about H1N1. If you cannot talk to your doctor before the clinic, you can call 2-1-1 (toll free 1-866-561-2500) for general information about H1N1. Please call Allen Neighborhood Center at 367-2468 if you have any questions about the flu shot clinics or need help finding a family doctor.
Remember, this is still flu season and the H1N1 bug remains a public health concern.
2) Bring on the Bandwidth!
Google Fiber Gains Momentum in Greater Lansing!
Contact: Kathie Dunbar

Cell: 517-230-2091

Website: GreaterLansing4Google.com
Unless you were hibernating for the past month, you’ve probably heard of Google’s plan to invest half a billion dollars connecting every home in select communities to ultra high-speed fiber optic broadband, providing Internet speeds of 1 gigabit per second, more
than 100 times faster than we have today.
From now until March 26th, Google is accepting government proposals and community nominations to help them decide where to install this high-speed fiber infrastructure. Locally, government officials from six municipalities (Lansing, East Lansing, Delta Twp., Lansing Twp., Meridian Twp., and Delhi Twp.) have joined forces in an impressive showing of regional collaboration to goad Google to Greater Lansing. Other core committee members include Accelerate Lansing, ACD.net, the Board of Water and Light, Consumers Energy, the Lansing Economic Area Partnership (LEAP), and Michigan State University.
According to Kathie Dunbar, who serves as Google’s point of contact for the regional application, “This opportunity has the potential to transform the entire social, economic, political, and educational landscape of our region, which is exactly what Google is hoping for. They want to learn how universal fiber deployment affects interactive civic engagement, economic development, job creation, talent recruiting, entrepreneurial activities, health outcomes, remote learning, social
media, and yes, video and gaming technology. Faster refresh rates are just the tip of the iceberg!”
In addition to a strong government proposal, we also need a strong showing of public support, which weighs heavily in Google’s consideration of potential communities. They want to invest their half a billion dollars where people and organizations demonstrate widespread enthusiasm for this project. The Greater Lansing Google community grows every day, but with two weeks to go before the deadline, we need your help to take us through the home stretch.
Please encourage everyone (friends, family, co-workers, clients, etc.) to submit a Google nomination for “Greater Lansing.” For moreinformation and a link to the community nomination form, visitwww.GreaterLansing4Google.com.

Hunter Park GardenHouse CSA – Sign up now for the GardenHouse summer CSA (June-August). Enrollment for new members is open between now and April 15, after which current and former members can re-enroll. Reasonable rates/great food grown in the neighborhood! Work shares available. Call ANC, 367-2468, for more information.
Thornapple CSA has returned with shares available for the 2010 growing season. Our Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) group is hosted at Appleschram Orchards. Everything is grown organically, with lots of heirloom varieties to keep your taste buds happy and your body healthy! Already our hoophouse has sweet spinach being harvested, and seeds for more early greens are in the ground for our second season.
Shareholders buy a share, and can expect a wide variety of fruits, veggies, and herbs. A full share will feed a family of four and costs less than $30 a week. Last year many members with smaller families shared a share, reducing costs and still received a bounty of produce. Shares may be picked up at Allen Street Farmer’s Market each Wednesday.
More information is available at our website: www.thornapplecsa.com, or by emailing us at thornapplecsa@gmail.com. Join the Farm… your body and the earth will love it!
Giving Tree Farm CSA
Giving Tree Farm is located just north of Lansing on Turner Rd (the Old Town area). The farm serves as the site for Community Based Intervention’s vocational training program and also hosts an independent horticultural therapy program year round. For more information about the social programming check out http://www.cbirehab.com/57901/73201.html We are Certified Organic, with eight hoop houses, 7 acres of fields, a cut flower garden, and a herb garden. In addition to our CSA program, we sell our produce at farmer’s markets (including Allen Street Farmers Market), the East Lansing Food Co-op, and restaurants in the Lansing area.
About CSA’s
You can find out more details about this concept at this link: http://www.localharvest.org/csa/ but a CSA is basically a great way for people to directly connect with local farmers in order to get the freshest, healthiest produce possible while supporting local economies and farm ecosystems.
What to Expect
Buying locally grown food means learning to eat seasonally. For example, spring is mostly lettuce, spinach, greens, peas, fava beans, beets, green onions, etc. Summer is all the traditional farm veggies: tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, carrots, celery, beans, summer squash, cucumbers, melons, broccoli, cauliflower, etc (too many to list), and then fall is storage crops like onions, leeks, cabbage, carrots, beets, winter squash, and more lettuce, spinach, and greens. Recipes will be available with your produce each week. It’s a great way to learn to cook with veggies!
Logistics
As the consumer, you pay us $300 up front, or in installments, and you get around $12 (often more than that) of produce each week from mid-May through the end of October. Pick up is available at the farm (day TBA later) or at the Allen St Farmer’s Market on Wednesdays from 2:00pm-6:30pm. My goal is to have 75 members signed up by April 1st. To sign up please visit our CSA website at http://cbisgivingtreefarm.wordpress.com/ or if you don’t have internet access just call the farm at 517-482-8885 and ask for Melissa Hornaday.
