This committee works with the three schools in the Irish Channel to provide additional resources for the students and administration. We believe that working with the children is the most important thing we can do to insure the future and safety of the city.
Currently, one of our major focuses is the Kaboom! project- please look into the program and let us know if you can help!
If you have any questions or have any suggestions, please post or email to let us know!


Membership and Community Outreach


Trick or Treat

To encourage families to Trick-or-Treat in the Irish Channel, we are compiling a list of participating homes. Please take a moment and follow the link below to register your house as a designated Trick-or-Treat participant. Your home will be listed as a place families know they can stop. The final list will be sent out to our membership email list.

NORD_ANKLE_BITERSSince our ICNA Athletics basketball league last Spring NORD has taken a renewed interest in the Burke Park and Lyon’s Center.  Here are some pictures of recent activities sponsored by NORD.  They currently have 3 different football teams, separated by age groups, practicing in the two parks.  In the years since Katrina kids from the neighborhood had to travel to Taylor park to play organized sports.  Our goal is to provide many more options over the next few years contingent upon Lyon’s Center reopening. 

 NORD also held a Health and Recreation Fair on Saturday, September 26th at Burke Park.  There were many booths there including the Booster Club we are forming with other neighborhood associations for both Lyon’s Center and Burke Park.

First, thanks to those who turned out at the last cleanup, September 22—Tess Conrad, Chris Horrell, Adolph Lopez, Ed McGinnis, Tara Richard, and Julie Robinson. We actually had a great time, with socializing outweighing the work.

 

This Saturday we’re doing Annunciation and Chippewa downtown of

Washington. We’ll meet at 9. a.m. at the corner of Annunciation andJackson. Many hands make light work (and good conversation), so we look forward to seeing y’all. If you can, bring a trash bag or two and gloves..

Mike Fairchild has taken up the task of organizing the neighborhood into a grid so we can more easily implement improvements to the Channel.
