The video will be distributed to neighborhood <br /> organizations and Safe Havens throughout the Weed & Seed service area which <br /> encompasses West Side, Oliver Gateway and LaSalle Park neighborhoods. <br /> "As we progress through the strategy, it is important to continually evaluate <br /> where we are in the process and the success we have seen. We recognize the growth and <br /> development of the strategy and also realize that there is more work to accomplish. We <br /> commend the youth on the great job they have done capturing and sharing their thoughts <br /> on the video," stated Mark Dollinger, Coordinator. <br /> Funding for the video was provided through the Weed & Seed 2006 fourth year <br /> federal grant funds received from the United States Department of Justice. Another video <br /> in the series is scheduled to be produced in the fall of 2007. The first video, "The Choice <br /> is Yours", debuted in November 2004. <br /> The Weed & Seed program is a federally sponsored community-based strategy <br /> whose purpose is to "weed out"negative and "seed in" positive influences in our <br /> neighborhoods. The South Bend strategy is a collaboration of the City, the St. Joseph <br /> County Prosecutor's Office, the U.S. Department of Justice, the Weed & Seed Alliance, <br /> and the South Bend Police Department. <br /> -30- <br />
