Dear Neighbors, Can anyone recommend a local company that will deliver mulch to Highland Park? We need 3 cubic yards, but some of the companies I have contacted will not deliver in the city. Thank you for your help! Kind regards, Rebecca Portland Street

I spotted one or two chickens near the little park on Black Street today. I wonder if these are the same chickens someone lost recently? Thought I better say something just in case.

Thanks to everyone. What a great neighborhood this is. I've found a sitter for my dogs while I'm gone.

Today's Topics: 1. Info on Duq Univ Institute of Rdg Dev? (Pam Morrison) 2. Television Connections (Melissa Dorsette) -----Inline Message Follows----- Has anyone had any experience with Duquesne University's Summer Reading Skills Program? This is NOT the one run by the School of Ed Reading Clinic. It seems to be an independently- operated program that is run through the School of Leadership and Professional Advancement at various universities across the country. My 11 year old grand-daughter who attends Dilworth brought home their flyer from school. When you talk to the representative on the phone it sounds like a great program, but they are in the business of marketing. If anyone has had experience with this program, I'd greatly appreciate feedback. Seems like it is a group class and they target reading skills and study skills. Five once-a-week/2.5 hour classes. $289. If anyone has info on this or other programs that you feel have been really good skill builders, I'd be interested in knowing and will be glad to compile replies for the list. Thanks in advance, PAM "Perfect balance is an illusion-- just try for upright." -----Inline Message Follows----- Hi Neighbors: Does anyone know how or know of someone who has knowledge of hooking various equipment to televisions, etc. cable, dvds, video games. I am stumped and do not want to have to contact direct tv again. Thanks for any information! Melissa -- <http://lists.highlandparkpa.com/mailman/listinfo/neighborhood>
