A Success Story...
Project NEAT: “Northeast All Together” : DAPA with the leadership of Doug Petersen, mobilized the Northeast Minneapolis, MN community in six months from January 3 to June 18, 1975 to identify, screen, select elderly, disabled, low income home owners to have their houses be totally painted, re-wired, plumbing, and other home improvement projects.
With over 1000 empowered volunteers from the trades, professionals, police, fire, community, businesses, students, churches and the NE Kiwanis Club leadership this was accomplished.
The funds were sought from local sources and the event was the first of its kind in the Twin Cities area that was extremely successful that won an International Kiwanis Award at the annual meeting in Toronto, CA in 1975. This program under a smaller focus of just painting homes of disadvantaged residents of the Twin Cities is still going strong...under the name...Paint-A-Thon!
D.A. Petersen Associates, Inc. (DAPA) was proud to be the consulting firm that made this possible with wonderfully committed and empowered volunteers! The mission of DAPA is... “To help people and organizations become as much as they can be with empowerment activities that maximizes the return on investment.”
