Jack & Jake’s has programmed the space located inside the former Myrtle Banks Elementary School building (1307 O.C. Haley Blvd) as a unique food market that builds upon New Orleans’ historic tradition of public markets and introduces affordable, fresh food to an underserved population and food desert in Central City. The market emphasizes fresh heirloom vegetables and other local produce, heritage breed meats, cheese, and fresh Gulf seafood. Healthy prepared foods based on New Orleans culture and cuisine are also a focal point where many ingredients are made from scratch inside the market. The market’s diverse local product offerings, in partnership with established vendors, will create a major food destination for local residents and visitors to New Orleans.

To make your club's foundation grants have a more powerful and positive impact on our community, and to raise the awareness of our foundation, your NORFI Board has created a new grant application process with the intent of giving significantly larger grants than in the past. Because this process had not been finalized prior to the grant season this year, we felt it was only fair to allow all grant applicants to reapply. Therefore, I'm setting a deadline for grant applications of September 30, 2015 with the intent of awarding grants prior to the year end. All 2015 prior applicants will be contacted regarding their opportunity to re-apply.

  Thank you for the opportunity to be of service.

  

Yours truly,

The neutral ground is located on Poydras Street between Tchoupitoulas Street and South Peters Street. The new signs make it easy to see where you need to go. Two or three Rotarians are scheduled each week, but you can get creative and have others help if you wish. If you cannot work during the scheduled week, try to switch off with someone else. During your week, the deal is to pick up trash or broken limbs you find on the neutral ground. You can bring your own garbage bag and gloves. The trash pick up takes less than 15 minutes but be careful on the busy street. After you are finished, just throw the garbage bag into one of the public trash containers on Poydras Street. 
During the year, we will arrange to do more gardening work on the neutral ground and go to lunch afterward.

REMEMBER that in addition to keeping up this stretch of Poydras Street, this is a great way to get to know your fellow Rotarians. Also, if you cannot perform your assigned task think about getting a group of younger folks to handle it for you. They can be Interactors, high schoolers looking for community service hours or just folks looking for a way to get involved
