BCA Valentines Day Party

The CRC teamed up with the Bailey Community Association for the 26th Valentines Day Party. The event went off without a hitch. Many activities were going on at the event. We had card making, cookie decorating, and a magician! It was very nice seeing a large group of people out at the event. Below are some pictures!

She stole the show!

We're Back!

Hello all!

Sorry for the long break, but the CRC is back and in full action. We hope that your holidays went well and glad East Lansing is as beautiful as ever! We've been pounded with snow, so keep in mind your safety. We want to make sure you keep your sidewalks safe and shoveled.  When we all do our little part, it keeps our community safe.

We have a few events in the works at the moment-- I can't tell you the entirety of them, because, to be honest, we don't have all the details for them yet. We will keep you updated as we progress forward with the events. I think you will really enjoy them!

Until then, be safe and enjoy the winter wonder land!

Holiday Photos: Recap

The photo event the CRC hosted went wonderfully. We had about 20 groups show up to get pictures with and without Sparty.  We want to thank everyone who braved the weather and made it out. We are so glad you came and hope you enjoy your photos.  Once again, we would like to thank our photographer Luke, at  Luke Anthony Photograpy for his amazing photos. Before you go on break, remember to figure out how your sidewalks will be shoveled, your house we be locked up (we suggest you ask a neighbor to watch your home), and heat your house so the pipes don't freeze. Have a wonderful break!

Here are some photos from the event--

Winter Coat and Letter Drive Results

Last Sunday the CRC had a table at the Winter Bowl collecting letters for soldiers who cannot come home over the holiday season and coats for the homeless.  The Winter Bowl was a great event and really fun place to be and we saw a lot of success in both coats and letters.  Oddly enough, the total for both at the moment is 78!

However, the coat drive is still going on until the 17th, so there will be even more coats raised than 78 -- something very impressive and indicative of the great community here in East Lansing. If you would still like to donate a coat, bins are located at the following locations: Hannah Community Center, 819 Abbott Road; East Lansing City Hall, 410 Abbott Road; Lansing Community College East, 2827 Eyde Parkway; and Suite 113 in the Student Services Building on the MSU campus (Career Services Network).

We would like to thank the East Lansing community for coming together and helping out with the coat and letter drive.  It was a cold day and not very good conditions for taking off those gloves and writing a letter, but a ton of people still pitched in and wrote a letter or brought a coat.  It was great to see that kind of compassion from our community.

UPDATE: Registration Closed for Free Family Holiday Portraits

UPDATE:

At this time, all time slots for the event have been filled. We look forward to seeing those who have registered at the event! 
Previous Post:

The CRC is hosting a FREE event on Sunday, December 12th from noon to 3pm in Parlor A on the second floor of the Union. A professional photographer will be taking family portraits - free digital prints will be provided, and you can purchase prints or holiday cards at the event.


At this time, all time slots for photos with Sparty have been filled. Space is still available for group photos without Sparty, so this is a great chance to have a professional photo taken of you and your spouse or significant other, or a group of friends or roommates! Since spaces will be limited, you must sign-up in advance to guarantee a time slot for your group. Walk-ins will be accommodated on a space-available basis. Please complete the form here to sign up for your time slot!  

A big thanks to Luke Anthony Photography, who will be doing this photo shoot at a reduced rate to support the work of the Community Relations Coalition!
