lies, aid in the prevention or elimination of

gency homeowner rehabilitation and elimi-
nation of safety hazards. Another $73,000 will
be used as matching grant funds to rehabili-
tate rental properties in the city.
As part of the neighborhood revitalization
through acquisition effort, the city will use
about $188,000 to pay for and demolish
blighted properties in Norwayne. This
amount will be in addition to the $2 million
in federal Neighborhood Stabilization

rehabilitate or demolish blighted, foreclosed
properties, many inNorwayne.

bilitation loans to homeowners and $49,000

Bill and Judy Igo
Students in the Plymouth-Canton,
Wayne-Westland and Van Buren school dis-
tricts will continue to learn about the art of
music thanks to a grant from Community
Financial Credit Union.
TheMichigan Philharmonic was provid-
edwith a $1,000 grant fromthe credit union
to continue the CLASSical Music for Kids
program, including Koncert for Kids. The
grant is part of the third annual
Community Financial Summer of Sharing
campaign.
CLASSical Music for Kids brings music
to the third grade students in Plymouth-
Canton, Wayne-Westland and Van Buren
schools. The students meet musicians in
the orchestra and learn about their instru-
ments while enjoying performances from
different eras and cultures.
Fourth grade students attend a specially
programmed age-appropriate concert
called, "Koncert for Kids." The students
learn about how the orchestra is put
together, the sound each instrument
makes, andwhat the conductor does.
Students also get to meet composer
Andre Myers, who narrates his own work,
based on the book "Paddle to the Sea." They
also get a conducting lesson and get to sing
with the orchestra.
"Wewere really thrilled to receive one of
the Community Financial award grants for
the education program," said Beth Stewart,
Michigan Philharmonic executive director.
"We really appreciate their support for arts
education in our community."
Community Financial is donating $1,000

ing the Summer of Sharing campaign.

the community and we want to support the
charities that are important to them," said
