The South Buffalo CREW has created a website, www.SouthBuffaloHome.com, that welcomes everyone to come enjoy the neighborhoods of South Buffalo. The new site is a showcase of the many reasons why SB CREW members love where they live, and provides a useful guide for anyone who might buy a home, start a business or visit South Buffalo.

As the page for “Living in SB” says, “When you add it all up, you’d be crazy not to move here. You can escape the high taxes of the suburbs and still live in a safe neighborhood with amazing parks, good schools, caring neighbors, and plenty of stuff to do.” The website provides a great deal of evidence to back that up.

You’ll find parks of all sizes, you’re only a 5 minute walk from at least one of them no matter where you live. South Buffalo has more parkland than any other area of the Buffalo, including 2 designed by Fredrick law Olmsted that both include a 9 hole golf course. Plus the City’s only Nature Preserve, locally known as Tifft Farms.

The waterfront includes Lake Erie and provides plenty of reasons to visit, due to extensive redevelopment. There’s a beach, boardwalk, pier, boat launch, harbor, parkland, and bike paths that provide easy access to it all.

The website has sections ‘For Families‘, ‘For Businesses‘, ‘ Living in SB‘, ‘About South Buffalo‘, and ‘Get Involved‘

The website is a way to share the many reasons why South buffalo is a great place to be.

Get ready for the first group event at the garden on May 5, 10am. We plan to install the Benches and the Sign. We’ll also be cleaning up the area, removing weeds, trash, and old growth preparing for the new season.

It’s all starting to come together. Sorry that there hasn’t been much activity here on the website, we have been so busy planning we haven’t posted any real news updates here. But soon we will have dates and details to share with everyone.

Come to our next meeting to get the latest.
March 7th, 7pm at Dog Ears Bookstore inside Caz Coffee, 688 Abbott Rd.
We will meet in the back of the bookstore this month.

Here is what we are working on now;

• Problem Properties Workshop – We are deciding on a location and plan to have the event in late April. We will need your help to hang up fliers.
• Welcome to South Buffalo Booklet and Website. The website is 90% done, and the booklet is at least half way done. We will need help proofreading and would like a few more photos.
• Homebuyer Workshop – We are organizing an informational event to help you find out what you need to buy a house here in South Buffalo. We are looking at a date in mid April.
• Spring Cleanup – April 21, 10am, @ Childrens Garden next to the Dudley Library on South Park. We need volunteers! We will spruce up the garden and collect trash in the area. Pizza Party afterward.

Get involved! come to the next meeting to be a part of it.

• South Buffalo Promotion Booklet & Website – This is a big project, and we want to have it completed by April. We are making progress but could still use some researchers and fact checkers, as well as writers.
  Check Facebook to see what we have written so far.
• Homebuyer Workshop – Know someone who’s thinking about buying a home? We’ll have realtors and other experts available for questions. Date TBD

We bring together experts to present the facts and answer questions. We are planning dates and locations, let us know if you are interested. Dates TBD
• Spring Cleanups start Saturday April 21, 2012, at Tim Russert’s Childrens Garden on South Park!

Community Garden

This was the first year for the Seneca Caz Community Garden. It’s hard to believe that this project is brand new, but it is. We held at least 5 events there and turned this empty lot into an asset for the community. More Garden Info Here

Special thanks to Bill for watering almost every day, he kept the plants alive through that early season drought. Nancy for weeding every week. Jesse for getting the soil well fertilized. Chris and Jen for bringing a truck load of field-stones to line the paths. Tara for donating vegetable plants, watering and getting dirty with us regularly. Also thanks to Peter, Connor, Kevin, Maria, Joan, Susan, Cathy, Adam, Nicole, Tristan, Ethan, Eric, Debi, Paul, Ann, Pat, Molly, Alex, Kristen, Christine, Beth her kids and the other people I’m forgetting at the moment. Plus Matt, who got the ball rolling on the crazy idea in the first place.

I also want to thank our sponsors for helping us get the supplies we needed, Assemblyman Mark Schroeder, Councilman Mickey Kearns, Legislator Tim Whalen, Greater South Buffalo Chamber of Commerce, M&T Bank, South Buffalo Alive, Desi’s Produce Market (Fran & Paul Desiderio), J&M Produce

Storefront Art Display

Local artists were featured in our project to brighten up store windows along Seneca Street.

Thanks to Susan and Cathy for putting this together, and to everyone who helped hang up artwork anfd participated in the event.

We had artists of all ages and abilities, and we got a lot of complements from people in the area.

Garden & Artwork Debut Day

Many of you missed this fantastic event in the Garden. During lat year’s Garden Walk we had refreshments and live Jazz Music in the Community Garden. It was a really great time. Thanks especially to the musicians. Bill, Ed, Jim, Kevin and Mike. Go Here to see some Video from the event too!

Earth Day Cleanup

We got about 20 volunteers together to clean up the area around Seneca, Caz and Buffum. Everyone did a great job and collected a lot of trash, leaves, and even some loose gravel. We targeted streets, parking lots, and definitely made an impact in the area.

Afterward we got together for a fun Pizza Party at the Cazenovia Resource Center (Caz Library).

Problem Properties Workshop

We wanted to help people better understand how to address problem properties. We held an event that featured knowledgeable speakers, and we created an information packet for people to take home.

Parades & Promotion

This year we participated in 2 parades, and did 2 information tables, all at different events. We marched in the Old Neighborhood St Patricks Day Parade, and the McKinley Parkway Parade of Circles. We had a table at the South Buffalo EXPO and Irish Feis, and Riverfest.This year we need you to come help us out, the best turnout we got from the group was 5 people.

This is part of the Buffalo Promise Scholarship, a program of Say Yes to Education. This includes students of traditional public and Charter Schools in Buffalo.

“fund scholarships for students in the Buffalo Public School system to cover up to 100 percent of their tuition at a post-secondary institution for the next 20 years. The class of 2013 will be the first class eligible for the scholarships… Say Yes to Education committed to bring an initial $15 million to partner with local providers to deliver comprehensive supports to all schools, including free after-school and summer programming, counseling, legal services, and health care.”

This means our children will soon all have an equal chance to get a higher education based on how hard they study, rather than how much money they have.

It’s just another reason to raise a family in South Buffalo. Students, parents & teachers in this community take education seriously. Our kids will grow up in classrooms where all children have the opportunity to create a better future through a good education. And that hope will create a great learning environment for everyone.

And all those educated people will be part of our highly skilled labor market. I expect that to lure jobs and investment to the area creating a brighter future for us all.

Specifically, Say Yes will:

• Provide students who graduate from a Buffalo Public School (traditional or charter) with up to 100 percent of the tuition needed to attend a SUNY post-secondary institution. The amount of tuition support is based on financial need and length of time in the public school system which at a minimum can be four years of high school.
• Provide comprehensive out-of-school supports—including after-school tutoring and summer learning opportunities—that extend learning time for students and place service coordinators in every school.
• Support research and professional development to strengthen instruction and school performance; and
• Create tools and strategies to help improve fiscal responsibility in spending and promote improved transparency for school and district performance.
