LHENA grew out of talk between neighbors. Fifteen residents gathered on August 4, 1970, to discuss the neighborhood, what might be done to improve it, and what effort, if any, should be made. Agreeing on several points, including that this is a "good place to live," and with a desire to "stress the positive values of city living," they connected with others to formally establish LHENA on February 18th, 1971.
Since then, neighbors have used LHENA as a platform for creating Mueller Park, supporting the children of Jefferson School, establishing a free Organics Recycling Drop-off Program, hosting countless get-togethers for neighbors, among many other things. We've had successes and failures, been more active at some times than others. Throughout, we've remained a presence in the neighborhood so that today, neighbors may step out and make good use of their spirit and passion and desire for positive community change.
