NWI Mission Statement

providing a variety of services and programs to residents of
northwest Lansing for 10 years, but it’s true! We would like to
thank everyone who attended our Decadent Dessert and
Silent Auction Fundraiser held in December 2010. It was a
festive event and we had an abundance of delicious desserts
and beverages and many people went home with great items
that they bid on in the silent auction! We would especially like
to thank the following businesses and individuals for their
donations to our Decadent Dessert and Silent Auction
Fundraiser:
Commissioner Rebecca Bahar-Cook; Melissa DeVine; YaSheema
Marshall, Simply Delicious Cupcakes; Jeff Johnson, Bake N’ Cakes;
Great Harvest Bread Company; Eleanor Norton; Sheila Burtley, Pastry
Chef/Dustry Cellar’s; Linda Archer; Manuela Kress; Margaret Keeler,
NAMI-Lansing; Mr. and Mrs. Mosher; Kristen Taylor, NAMI–Michigan;
Maureen McMullen; Rosa Killips Jewelry; Carol Skillings; Margaret
Groves; Lucy Hunley, City Girl; Fort Shelby Tower Apartments, Detroit;
Tim Toone, Detroit Lions Player; Joy Baldwin; John Bolan; Stephanie
Campbell; Monica Jahner; Ramona Spencer, Qosmon Sagataw,
Peggy Vaughn- Payne, and Maria Zavala.
It’s not to late, if you would like to make a tax-deductible
donation to help us continue to provide services and
programs to area residents, please make a check payable to
NorthWest Initiative and mail it to our address. We look
forward to serving our community for the next ten years and
wish to thank everyone for your support!
