[Highland Park] Call for help at the polls
by Shelly Danko+Day 06 May '05

06 May '05

Hello Highland Park and Friends! We need a couple people who would be willing to work at the polls at Fulton School on Hampton for the primary on May 17th. It would be an all day committment. I am unable to help due to my working on one of the mayoral campaigns : ) The only requirement is that you are registered to vote in the City of Pittsburgh...you don't need to be a resident of the Ward or District. Please let me know ASAP so I can let them know. It would be a great experience...this will be a good race! Thanks! Shelly Danko+Day --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail - You care about security. So do we.

[Highland Park] Weekly Walks in the Woods
by Rudolph T Maceyko 03 May '05

03 May '05

Please join me and fellow Highland Park neighbor Jessica Pedersen for a walk through the park this Wednesday evening from 6:30 pm to 8:00 pm. This free walk, sponsored by the Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy, will take us on about 1.3 miles of trails and paths in the park. Along the way, we'll talk about what's going on in the park, including the beautiful restoration of the fountain area at the Highland Avenue entrance of the park, and the challenges of managing non-native, invasive plant species in the park. We'll meet near the fountain at 6:30 pm--please be a couple of minutes early if possible. Dress appropriately for a walk in the "woods"--there will be mud, thorns, and uneven paths. The walks in Highland Park will occur on the first Wednesday of each month from now until October. There are walks scheduled for the other three Pittsburgh parks on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th Wednesdays of the month too. Rudy
