The purpose of the Lansing P.A.L. is to provide recreational, sporting, educational, and cultural activities for disadvantaged Lansing boys and girls. The City of Lansing employees involved with Lansing P.A.L.--predominately Lansing Police bepartment personnel--are all unpaid volunteers who participate in P.A.L. on their own time. No City of Lansing employees associated with this Contract will receive any income, benefits, or other forms of renumeration as a result of this Contract. No City of Lansing employee involved with the LANSLNJ5 POLICE ATHLETIC L.FAGLIE, INC. has any conflict of interest of a personal or public nature as a result of this Contract. THE LANSINC POLICEA THLETIC LE4 6UE, INC WHO WE ARE: The Lansing Police Athletic League, Inc. (P.A.L.) is a non-profit organization formed and run by Lansing Police officers working together with the community to provide recreational, sporting, educational, and cultural activities for Lansing kids. We care about the young people in this city. We want to reach out to kids in a positive way to show that cops are more than just law enforcers. We want to open lines of communication, build trust, and develop a positive relationship between Lansing youth and the community's police officers. WHAT WERE DOING: We recognize that there are too many kids in our city that don't have anything to do after school except get in trouble. We know that good role models for young people are harder and harder to find these days. These are things we want to change. This year, we are organizing soccer and basketball leagues for pre-teen and early teen-age boys and girls from neighborhoods throughout the City. P.A.L. also sponsors a variety of field trips and special events for neighborhood youth. Lansing Police personnel and other volunteers donate their time to coach, officiate, and work with the kids. Participants in our sports programs attend "program nights" during which we coordinate with other youth service agencies to provide kids with important information, generate discussion about issues, and involve young people in community problem solving. The boys and girls in P.A.L. are from all social, racial, and ethnic backgrounds. Our sports programs are free of charge to all participants. All needed equipment is provided at no cost. Many of the kids we involve in P.A.L. have never participated in team sports before and are at risk for getting into trouble at school, at home, or on the streets. In our leagues, everyone plays. The emphasis is on teamwork, good sportsmanship, and building skills--both on and off the court. In the months to come, we hope to expand our program to include other sports, special events, and cooperative efforts with the Lansing School District, the City's Parks and Recreation Department, and Michigan State University. HOW YOU CAN HELP: We're starting small but we still need financial support for equipment, supplies, and administrative costs. We have already received some donations from police officers, but now we're reaching out to concerned citizens, civic groups, and local businesses. Your help is vital to assure we can work with all the kids who want to participate in our program. Please let us know if you can make a financial contribution, donate equipment, or volunteer your time. We are a non-profit, tax exempt organization. Contributions to the Lansing Police Athletic League, Inc. may be sent to 310 Seymour St., Lansing, MI 48933. We welcome your questions or requests for additional information at 483-6022.
