It's not enough that over 500 national and community volunteers are working all over town to help make Duluth a better place.

Now a group of AmeriCorps VISTA and AmeriCorps NCCC volunteers, busily working at a variety of locations around town, plan to take an abandoned building and remake it for volunteer housing.

They call it the Legacy Building project.

Folks can get more information at tomorrow night's AmeriCorps Legacy Building Launch Party.

She was a reporter and news anchor at KTHI in Fargo, ND (not to mention the host of a children's program called "Lisa's Lane") and a radio reporter and anchor in Moorhead, Bismarck, Wahpeton and Fergus Falls.Since 1991, she has hosted Northland Morning on KUMD. One of the best parts of her job includes "paying it forward" by mentoring upcoming journalists and broadcasters on the student news team that helps produce Northland Morning. She also loves introducing the different people she meets in her job to one another, helping to forge new "community connections" and partnerships.Lisa has amassed a book collection weighing over two tons, and she enjoys reading, photography, volunteering with Animal Allies Humane Society and fantasizing about farmland. She goes to bed at 8pm, long before her daughter, two cats, or three dogs.
