Like with most things, time certainly flies when you’re busy planning one of the community’s largest and oldest St. Patrick’s Day celebrations. The annual CASI St. Patrick’s Day Race was started 38 years ago and remains the single largest fundraiser for CASI. Through the generous support of our amazing sponsors, 100% of the funds raised through the race are reinvested back into our mission of helping older adults age successfully. While downtown has become known for it’s adult celebrations of this Irish holiday, the CASI St. Patrick’s Day Race offers a family friendly event to kick off the fun. The Tot Trot, sponsored by Sears Manufacturing, begins at 9:00 am on 2nd Street outside the RME (River Music Experience). The 1 Mile Family Fun Run, sponsored by Cobham Mission Systems, begins at 9:30 am. And the big 5K Race, presented by Vibrant Credit Union, begins with a shotgun start at 10:00 am sharp! Race Packet Pick-Up is at the RME: Friday March 13 from Noon - 6:00 pm Saturday (Race Day) from 7:00 am - 9:50 am Won’t you join us as we race towards a greater future for older adults in the Quad Cities? Our mission is powered by you. Literally our Mission in Motion. Registration now open at www.CASIseniors.org 9:50am March 2020 3 Philanthropy Powers CASI’s Mission March is a month to celebrate an amazing team of professionals at CASI – National Professional Social Work month. We celebrate the great work done day in and day out, around-the-clock by Andy, Brenda, Carrie, Harvey, Jody and Vicky, our awesome CASI Senior Advocates. Every day they bring a sense of peace and comfort to some of the most vulnerable members of our community as they make connections, solve problems, give comfort and hope, and simply listen. Dozens of our friends and neighbors are helped daily, each person served lovingly with no expectation of a fee. How can our Senior Advocates provide this important lifeline for clients FREE of charge? It is simply because of the generosity of many individual donors, corporate partners, and foundations, along with Scott County. These wonderful gifts of philanthropy power all of our programs. For example: a gift of $30 can give the gift of a CASI membership to someone who would benefit from the socialization available each day; a gift of $70 can provide a day of Adult Day Services at Jane’s Place for someone with dementia; and a gift of $100 can provide one day of a Senior Advocate’s work on behalf of their hundreds of clients. At CASI, we are grateful for every dollar that you invest. Thank you for the opportunity to serve our community in this important way. To support CASI, or specifically Senior Advocacy or Jane’s Place, please visitCASIseniors.org or drop off/send your gift to CASI at 1035 W. Kimberly Rd., Davenport, IA 52806. Contact Sue Rector for more information at [email protected] or 563.386.7477 ext 229. Thank you! Changing Lifestyles? Downsizing to a smaller home? Need a free market analysis of your present home?

  • Marion Meginnis HP 601 December 3, 2014 Term Paper Intent and Outcome: a River Town Retrieves Its Past in 1979, Davenport
    Marion Meginnis HP 601 December 3, 2014 Term Paper Intent and Outcome: A River Town Retrieves Its Past In 1979, Davenport began a massive multiple listing effort to nominate properties to the National Register. For Iowa, the effort was unprecedented; it was the first such nomination to be approved by the state and its scope was larger than that of any other Iowa municipality.1 When completed in the 1980’s, more than half of all Iowa National Register properties were located in Davenport.2 In many cities across America, the 1966 passage of the National Historic Preservation Act, the development of state historic preservation offices and enthusiasm for local history surrounding the nation’s Bicentennial celebration triggered local preservation efforts like Davenport’s. Other factors impacting cities and society in the 1970s and 1980s were also in play--a shrinking downtown and move to the suburbs, new voices in the political arena, aggressive transportation planning and dramatic shifts in the area’s economy-- that helped and hindered historic preservation in the old town by the Mississippi. For those whose lives were touched by the effort in Davenport as activists, politicians, business people, journalists, or citizens, what occurred…or is remembered today…varies over the two decades being explored. Davenport is a Mississippi River town platted in 1836 by French/Native American trader Antoine LeClaire. Its geography confuses the unfamiliar since it is sited at one of the few places where the great river flows west. So what would be “west” for most Mississippi River towns is Davenport’s “north.” Any discussion of the city must include a mention of its Iowa and Illinois sister cities.

  • 100335 City of Davenport Green City.Pdf
    Recycled paper? Check. Hybrid cars in fleet? Yes. LED traffic signals? Years ago. Waterless urninals? Sure, along with an internationally recognized sewage treatment plant. Green roofs? Brown at the moment, but Spring will soon be here. Home grown fuels? Of course, this is Iowa. CNU membership? That, a revised zoning code and multiple new urban projects underway. Signatory to the US Conference of Mayors Climate Protection Agreement? Done. Paperless office? Ah…we’re trying… The City of Davenport’s “Green City” initiative is a key strategy to lead the revitalization of our region. A historic city on the banks of the Mississippi in the heart of the farm belt, Davenport long led the Quad Cities with a proud manufacturing history. But, like many old manufacturing cities, we lost jobs by the hundreds and thousands and suffered double digit percentage population losses as globalized manufacturing hit the community hard as the last century closed. Some thought Davenport was to be another cast off America city, who had seen its heyday and now watched on the sidelines as the nation recast its lot with sprawling sunbelt and suburban communities. As a national strategy, urban disinvestment is neither pretty nor sustainable. Luckily, Davenport suffers neither from a lack of Midwestern resilience nor pluck. We are the place where railroads first crossed the Mississippi, opening the west and giving jazz to the nation as river roots music traveled up the river and morphed east / west along the tracks. We are the largest American city that lives with the river that gives us life without costly and environmentally suspect levees (more on this to follow).
