FROM MAYOR ANDY SCHOR

Dear Lansing neighbors,

Welcome to the fall edition of Lansing Living! This is your guide to information, events and activities happening all across the City of Lansing.

I take great pride in the amount and variety of activities we have going on year-round and fall is no exception! It may be getting colder outside, but we offer some great classes and activities that will keep you warm as winter approaches.

This Lansing Living guide provides information on events and activities that bring us together as a community. The City of Lansing Parks and Recreation Department is proud to offer something for just about everyone. In here you will also find the Capital Area Recycling and Trash (CART) Greensheet and other information from the City of Lansing.

It is an honor to serve as your Mayor. I will continue working on behalf of you and your neighbors to keep our city moving forward.
