Return East Akron Community House building to control by community-led board of directors and residents.
Why is this important?
My name is Mrs. Georgia Bell, my family came to Akron in 1953 from the south. The East Akron Community House (EACH) was there to help out. The city of Akron now owns our building. We were poor. We went to EACH for cooking classes, sewing, anything that would occupy our time in summer and winter. When I grew up my kids went there. I want East Akron children to know EACH is there to help them succeed and grow in their lives, to have the experience my children had. Parents can come there for anything they need and suggest what their children need. I want Akron City Council to return EACH to ownership and control by the revitalized Board of Directors and residents.
