City of Lansing employees showed up and continue to serve residents with integrity and professionalism. Our essential workers, the backbone of our City, washed their hands, masked up and went to work. Our police officers, firefighters, paramedics and EMT’s responded to tens of thousands of calls for service to aid our residents and keep them safe. Our Public Service staff completed more than 14 miles of road improvements, more than 1,200 tree trimming/removals and cleaned more than 66 miles of storm and sanitary sewer pipes.

  • 2018 FSL Program 2Nd Half S
    EDITOR-IN-CHIEF: DANIEL VENN GRAPHIC DESIGN: ALLASYN LIENECK PHOTOGRAPHY: ALLASYN LIENECK, JIM GOINS MiLB LETTER FSL LETTER Dear Fans: On behalf of Minor League Baseball and the Dunedin Blue Jays, I want to welcome you to Dunedin Stadium. It is great to see you at the ballpark for another exciting season of Minor League Baseball! The 2018 season will see the opening of a new ballpark in North Augusta, South Carolina, and based on the success of a program launched in four cities in 2017, this year we are introducing the “Copa de la Diversión,” or “Fun Cup,” a season-long event series between the 33 teams that have adopted Spanish-language identities in an effort to be more representative of their community. While you may see some new logos and team identities this spring and summer, what remains the same is the quality, affordable family entertainment in a clean and safe environment that is a staple of Minor League Baseball across the country. With 20 leagues and more than 250 clubs, Minor League Baseball is where you will find the next wave of baseball’s brightest stars on their way to the big leagues. The next Mike Trout, Jose Altuve or Kris Bryant just might be playing in the game you are watching now! Minor League Baseball also remains an integral part of the sports landscape, and of the communities it represents. Last season, Minor League Baseball’s philanthropic endeavors included donating almost $40 million in cash and value in kind contributions to local and national charities. We are proud to support our National Charity Partners: The ALS Association, the American Cancer Society, Big Brothers Big Sisters, The BairFind Foundation and Ed Randall’s Fans for the Cure, as well as other worthy initiatives and causes.
