We appreciate the openness we have enjoyed with public officials, but LAN will still vigorously advocate neighborhood concerns for a fair and impartial hearing. Neighborhood Organizing Services LAN organizers are willing to meet with any group of neighbors interested in starting a new neighborhood association. We are proud to have provided help to most of the neighborhoods that have organized since 1987. We also have a speaker's bureau whic h addresses service organizations on neighborhood issues. And of course, LAN leaders are willing to work for a better Lawrence in cooperation with other community groups.
