[Highland Park] Highland Park Web Meeting
by Rudolph T Maceyko 17 Sep '03

17 Sep '03

If you are interested in helping out (in any way) with the upkeep and design of the Highland Park web site, please join me at Enrico's Tazza d'Oro this evening at 7:30 pm. I'm looking for help in all areas you can imagine: web design, keeping the calendar updated, sending mail to the Neighborhood mailing list, writing text for the web page, taking photos for the web page, etc. I've been doing it (mostly) on my own since early 2001, so I can say with some authority that if we get a just couple of people to help out, it won't be a drain on anyone's time. Be sure to check out the current web page before the meeting: <http://www.highlandparkpa.com/> Thanks, Rudy

[Highland Park] HPCC meeting reminder
by Bob Staresinic 16 Sep '03

16 Sep '03

Thursday, September 18th is the annual meeting of the HPCC, where all members get to vote on electing new board members and officers. We will be electing 5 new board members, who are excited to be getting more involved in the HPCC. Please come out and attend this meeting. Although I am running unopposed as President, it would be nice to get a few votes! There is no program for this meeting, so it should not be a long one. Come and hear what the committees have been up to in the past year, and let's talk about what we can do in the coming year. I look forward to seeing you Thursday. Bob 931 Mellon Street 412-xxx-xxxx
