If you, like those of the Hudson's Building Redevelopment Committee, are disturbed by the unjust, tragic disappearance of Detroit's historic and memorable landmarks, specifically the J.L. Hudson building, you, too, can help.

In an effort to continue their legal battle against the City of Detroit, the Hudson's Building Redevelopment Committee encourages financial support of the Lower Woodward Housing Coalition. Your strong, non-profit financial support and endorsement of these legal actions against the City of Detroit to save the J.L. Hudson building are urgently needed, gladly accepted and most appreciated.

Your contributions will help in a multitude of ways. No matter what the amount may be, the following list contains a small sample of how your dollars will help in deferring court costs:

• $12 for faxing 50 press releases
• $25 for xeroxing court documents
• $100 for one hour of legal services from lawyers
• $275 to obtain a legal transcription of Art Papapanos' (DDA acting president) deposition, wherein he knew nothing about how the plans for Hudson's demolition came about
• $350 to obtain a legal transcription of Larry Marantette's (GDP president & DDA boardmember) deposition, wherein he admitted that no engineering study was done with regards to redevelopment or demolition and allocating taxpayer money for demolition was done without bids or estimates
• $375 to obtain a legal transcription of C. Beth DunCombe's (Mayor's sister-in-law and DEGC president) deposition, wherein she admitted to knowing less than Mr. Papapanos.
• $400 to $500 for display advertisements in the Michigan Chronicle or Grosse Pointe News requesting support
• $1,000 for preparation and a day in court for one of our lawyers
• $2,000 for preparation and a day in court for two of our lawyers
