by Bob Staresinic 16 Aug '04

16 Aug '04

Hello All I am very far behind in trying to find new volunteers for the Highland Park Community Club Board of Directors and Officers. If you know of anyone who you feel would be a good recommendation as a Board member or Officer (or if you are interested), please email me at bob.63(a)netzero.net, or call me at 412-441-8972. Currently, the HPCC needs 5 Board members, to replace the ones that have finished their 3-year stint. The HPCC also needs someone to act as Secretary and as Vice President. The elections will be held at the September 16th meeting, which is the Annual Meeting for the HPCC as stipulated in the by-laws. Look forward to hearing frm you. Thanks Bob Staresinic

[Highland Park] Thanks for supporting the community festival!
by Michael Johnson 15 Aug '04

15 Aug '04

Hi all, The second Highland Park Community Festival is in the books! Brenda Cole, festival organizer, and I would like to thank all who helped put the festival on and who attended the festival. The goal of the festival was to provide exposure to a broad and diverse set of artists, vendors, children's activities and local organizations that would allow visitors to learn, have fun, take advantage of local resources and get a bite to eat, too. The festival has its origins in policy recommendations contained in the Highland Park Community Plan. We'd like your feedback regarding the festival's goals, planning, execution as well as general impressions. This will help local organizations figure out what worked and what didn't. This will also help local organizations decide whether to have a similar festival next year and if so the theme and mission this event ought to have. (For the time being, if the volume of messages on this topic is not too large, we can continue the discussion via this email list. If there is sufficient interest, we can move the discussion to a dedicated list and/or meetings of the Highland Park Community Club.) Thanks again for your support and interest in this initiative. Michael Johnson and Brenda Cole Highland Park Community Development Corporation
