Seward Redesign: Community Engagement

  REDESIGN is committed
  to leading and participating
  in planning that creates
  cohesive leadership with
  a common vision for
  development of the   community by:

Engaging residents through
    our neighborhood partners,
    businesses through local
    association and local

government staff and elected officials

Encouraging private sector development interest

Supporting development that provides housing affordable to everyone in the community

Creating opportunities for women and minority owned businesses

Preserving the industrial job base

                REWEAVING OUR
    NEIGHBORHOODS TOGETHER

  Thanks to everyone who attended Redesign's
  Annual Meeting on January 24th 2008. Our
  theme, "Reweaving Our Neighborhoods
  Together," refers to the many threads that come
  together in community development.

  For highlights of the panel discussion on 'The
  Benefits of Neighborhood CDCs,' please read
  this feature in The Bridge online newspaper.

  To serve as an inspiring symbol of many threads combined in a
  harmonious whole, Redesign purchased the weaving pictured at left.
  It is an example of traditional Somali twined weaving entitled "Dunta
  Bulshada iskuzirta" (Threads of Community).

  Twined weavings have been used for centuries in Somalia for baskets,
  bags, rugs, as decorations for homes and as saddles for camels and
  horses. Last fall, Augsburg College showed a spectacular selection of
  weavings that were created at the East African Women's Center.
