This project was funded by a Communications Cooperative Agreement with the Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP, formerly the Office for Substance Abuse Prevention, aSAP) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. An advisory panel was convened in Spring 1992 to assist in clarifying the conceptual framework and identifying promising programs. Prior to it, the Exchange consulted several dozen persons with expertise in the dual fields of community-based development and alcohol and other drug problem prevention. The advisory panel also helped identify examples of effective community prevention programs, the best technical assistance providers, key funders, and practical written materials for the target audience -- grassroots community organizations that wish to address the alcohol and other drug problems in their communities. The Exchange staff then interviewed and wrote case studies of ten innovative programs that could be considered by other groups. Each case study was reviewed and verified by the group described. Under Project Manager Laura McGrath's guidance, staff also researched information on the most helpful funders, technical assistance providers and written materials. The Community Information Exchange published an Alert report on this project, "Community Development Strategies to Prevent Alcohol and Other Drug Problems." The report drew upon the suggestions of the Advisory Panel, other interviews, case studies and other research contained in this publication. This companion publication presents the complete case studies, the full listing of all technical assistance providers and funders, and abstracts of written materials developed for this project. Some were synthesized in the Alert and all were added to the Exchange's computerized databases. The format in this publication is that of the databases. The case studies present the project, its setting, development, funding and lessons learned. We encourage readers to contact the resource groups directly. The Exchange also drew upon the expertise of the Center for Substance Abuse Prevention staff and other CSAP communications grantees, who shared their experiences designing and producing prevention materials for their targeted audiences at three meetings convened by CSAP during the course of the project. The Alert was carefully reviewed by members of the advisory panel, CSAP staff, and representatives of the National Association of Neighborhoods. We acknowledge, with appreciation, their valuable contributions to this project.

The Corporation and its predecessor, the Abbottsford Tenant Council, developed and implemented a comprehensive community development strategy aimed at ridding the Abbottsford community of illicit drugs and crime and making positive changes to ensure that these problems did not return. Activities to decrease the use and selling of drugs in the community include marches, resident patrols, coordination with police, and tenant crime prevention programs. As part of an overall community development strategy, the Tenant Council received training and became one 9f five tenant management corporations in the country. The Philadelphia Housing Authority made physical improvements to housing units, streets and lighting. An array of social services, including a health center and day care center, also are provided within the community. The Tenant Council received funds from several Philadelphia foundations to initiate this effort; additional support has come from the U.S. Departments of Housing and Urban Development and Health and Human Services, and Urban Woman, Inc.

COMMUNITY DESCRIPTION The Abbottsford Housing Development in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, contains 700 units of public housing. Bounded by light industrial parks and a major freeway, the Abbottsford community is isolated from surrounding middle- and upper-class neighborhoods. Dorothy Harrell, President of Abbottsford Tenant Management Corporation, describes Abbottsford as "a little city of our own." Approximately 3500 people live in Abbottsford. A majority of the residents are African American; the remainder are White or Hispanic. By the mid-1980s, the Abbottsford community was experiencing a serious crime and drug problem in addition to problems with deteriorating housing units and a lack of needed social and health services. By the end of the decade, illicit drugs had taken a firm hold in the community, taking advantage of the isolated atmosphere and the low priority set for Abbottsford by local law enforcement agencies. 1 SPONSORING QRGANIZATION The Abbottsford Tenant Management Corporation began operation as the first tenant management organization in the state of Pennsylvania in May, 1991. With a $5 million grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, the Abbottsford Tenant Management Corporation, with trained tenants as staff, manage the 700 unit Abbottsford Housing Development. They became one of only five such organizations in the country. Prior to becoming a tenant management corporation, the Abbottsford Tenant Council, made up of tenant volunteers, planned and carried out the anti-crime and anti-drug strategies in the community. The Council also developed a comprehensive economic and community development strategy for Abbottsford. PRomer DEVEWPMENT PROCESS AND DESCRIPTION In the mid-1980s, Resources for Human Development, a non-profit social services organization in Philadelphia, began outreach work in the Abbottsford community to enroll community children in a new Head Start program. It soon became cle,u to the outreach staff, however, that the community was facing a host of problems, including a high incidence of crime, youth prostitution, violence, and the use of crack cocaine by residents. Acting on their concern, the staff from Resources

  • Baseball Game Fun Patch Program
    Baseball Game Fun! Did you know that the game of baseball can be traced back to the American Revolution (1775-1783)? According to History.com, a game that resembled baseball is said to have been developed from two English games, both which involved the use of a bat and a ball: 1. Rounders (a children’s game brought to New England by the colonists); and 2. another popular game—Cricket. During the American Revolution, there were different versions of these games played in schoolyards and college campuses all over the country. In 1845, more than 170 years ago, the New York Knickerbocker Baseball Club was founded. One of its members, Alexander Joy Cartwright, created a set of rules that were the foundation for the baseball played today! He decided upon a diamond-shaped infield, foul lines, and the three-strike rule. In addition, Cartwright got rid of the dangerous practice of tagging runners by throwing baseballs at them (Ouch!). By 1846, the Knickerbockers played their first official game, and baseball became an official sport, unique to America. And then, in 1943, the All-American Girls Baseball League (AAGBL) was created, and in nine years, more than 600 women played in the league. Within the first five years, the number of spectators in attendance at games was over 900,000! One of the most noteworthy teams in the AAGBL was the Rockford Peaches of Illinois. They were one of two teams to play in every AAGBL season, and they won the league championship in 1945, 1948, 1949 and 1950. Throughout this time, Dorothy Kamenshek, Lois Florreich, Dorothy Harrell, Carolyn Morris, Alice Pollitt, Ruth Richard, Rose Gacioch, Eleanor Callow, and Joan Berger were all named to All-Star teams.

BUT ONLY ONE MOTHER -- Most of all the other beautiful things in life come by twos and threes, by dozens and hundreds. Plenty of roses, stars, sunsets, rainbows, brothers, sisters, aunts and cousins, but only one Mother in the whole world. <!&ur ~rrftagr The Methodist Church The Methodist Church is a church of Christ in which "the pure Word of God is preached, and the Sacraments duly administered. " This church is a great Protestant body, though it did not come di- rectly out of the Reformation but had its origin within the Church of England. Its founder was John Wesley, a clergyman of that church, as was his father before him. His mother, Susanna Wesley, was a woman of zeal, devotion, and strength of character who was perhaps the greatest single human influence in Wesley's life. Nurtured in this devout home, educated at Oxford University, the young John Wesley, like a second Paul, sought in vain for re- ligious satisfaction by the strict observance of the rules of re- ligion and the ordinances of the church. The turning point in his life came when, at a prayer meeting in Aldersgate Street, London, on May 24, 1738, he learned what Paul had discovered, that it is not by rules and laws, nor by our own efforts at self-perfection, but by faith in God's mercy as it comes to us in Christ, that man may enter upon life and peace.

A three-time champion team member, she was a versatile infielder, playing mainly at second base, while adding deep defense at third base and shortstop. Considered a light hitter, she combined her usual brilliant defense with a decent bit of offense for a hitter placed at bottom of the batting order. Barnett entered the league in 1947 with the Grand Rapids Chicks, playing for them one year. She hit a .115 batting average as a rookie, appearing in 33 games as a backup for Alma Ziegler (2B), Ernestine Petras (3B) and Doris Tetzlaff (SS). Grand Rapids, managed by Johnny Rawlings, defeated the South Bend Blue Sox in the first round of the playoffs, three games to two, and disposed of the Racine Belles in the final series, four games to three, to claim the champion title.
