[Highland Park] Mother's Day Out Programs and other
by Alison Bogle 26 Nov '07

26 Nov '07

Hello Neighbors, Some of you may recognize my name as the person who emailed so many times about an impending adoption. The good news is that we brought our little Ana home from Russia in October. I promised to send a picture out when she was here - so I have attached one. Thanks so much to everyone who helped us along our journey!! Now on to the next phase! I'm looking for information on the following things: 1. Does anyone know of any nearby Mother's Day Out programs that they would recommend? 2. We are considering part time in-home help while I work and are trying to get a feel for the costs. If anyone is doing something similar and wouldn't mind sharing what they pay per hour, that would be greatly appreciated! We are looking at about 20 hours per week. 3. I'm also interested in finding out about any play groups or other programs/activities for little ones. Ana will be 15 mos. in December, but because she was premature and was also delayed due to circumstances, she is closer to a 12-13 mos. old at this point but should catch up quickly. Thanks for any and all advice! Alison Bogle _________________________________________________________________ You keep typing, we keep giving.

[Highland Park] Help Wanted: Church Secretary
by Bruce Robison 26 Nov '07

26 Nov '07

St. Andrew's Episcopal Church 5801 Hampton Street, Highland Park With the pending retirement of our long-time Church Secretary, St. Andrew's is seeking a well-organized person with good computer (MS Office) and office management skills and experience. This is a "front door" position, and the Church Secretary must be a service-oriented person who can blend a spirit of hospitality and good humor with professionalism and who can interact well with other staff, members of the congregation, and the wider community. A daily mix of routine tasks, while always "expecting the unexpected." The position is half-time (20 hours), with very occasional over-time. The current schedule is Tuesday-Friday, 9 a.m. - 12 noon, 1 p.m. - 3 p.m., but we will have some flexibility in creating a new schedule to make this work for the right candidate. We'd like the new Church Secretary to be in place immediately after the new year, with the possibility of some initial orientation and training in the later part of December if possible. For a full Position Description please reply by e-mail to me at <rector(a)standrewspgh.org>. No phone calls, please. Bruce Robison

Hello neighbors, Just a heads up and a "hunch", but a gentleman just came to our door soliciting "magazine subscriptions" for an "urban youth" organization. I politely declined, after having learned my lesson 8 months ago. I am still waiting for my magazines! He was on the 1000 block of Farragut St around 4:15 today 11-24. ~Lori **************************************Check out AOL's list of 2007's hottest products.
