[Highland Park] HPCC Fallen Heroes Fund" Challenge Donation
by Michael M. Nadler 18 May '09

18 May '09

Dear Neighbors - I have gotten a few calls/e-mails about our donating to the "Fallen Heroes Fund", and have personally been responsible for collecting our donation containers from Tazza D'Oro, as well as from our activity of Music & food that we sponsored on Bryant Street during the Marathon. The outpouring of support from our neighborhood has been heart warming, and I wish to remind people to continue to donate. There will be a collection container at the HPCC Board Meeting this coming Thursday, 21 MAY 09, at St. Andrews here on Hampton Street at 7:00 PM, and the continued collection from Tazza D'Oro has been extremely supportive. There will also be a collection Container at both the Yard Sale, as well as the Bryant Street Festival, on Sunday, 07 JUN 09. Thus far a couple hundred dollars has been collected, but we are hoping with the continued word getting out, that even more can be raised to meet the maximum available with our Challenge Donation of $1000.00 that the HPCC will match as a donation to this important fund. Below is the article that was written for the Mass Mailing of our May Newsletter. Please give generously, and we hope to see you at all these events in Highland Park. Mike Michael Millet Nadler President, Highland Park Community Council P.O. Box 5036 Pittsburgh, PA 15206 Personal Contact Information: 5916 Callowhill Street Pittsburgh, PA 15206 (412) 363-3483, Fax: (412) 363-2925, E-mail: mike(a)divehards.com ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ So many of us want to do something, anything to honor the memories, and aid the families, of Eric Kelly, Paul Sciulli III and Stephen Mayhle, the three Officers that lost their lives in the Line of Duty on Saturday, 04 APR 09. While we have sometimes taken the Pittsburgh Police for granted, we painfully recognize the dangers they face and the sacrifices they make. Therefore, the Highland Park Community Council is offering a Challenge Donation to the residents of Highland Park. The HPCC is prepared to match up to $1000.00 toward the Fallen Heroes Fund from funds raised during the next month and a half of Highland Park Activities. There are several ways to give to this Challenge: 1) Mail a check to the HPCC at the address below, and write Fallen Heroes Fund in on the Subject line. Highland Park Community Council P.O. Box 5036 Pittsburgh, PA 15206 2) Give at the HPCC Kid's Spring Party on Saturday, 25 APR 09. 3) Give at the HPCC Activity at Walnut Street Market's Parking Lot the day of the Marathon on Sunday, 03 MAY 09. 4) Bring a Check or Cash to the next HPCC Meeting on Thursday, 21 MAY 09. 5) Give at the HPCC Locations during the HPCC Yard Sale and Bryant Street Festival, both on Sunday, 07 JUN 09. Please give what you can, and remember to thank a Police Officer for their service. The HPCC is also looking forward to further honoring these men, and those that serve through Zone 5, and Highland Park itself, daily. Ideas have been raised from a picnic in their honor, to dedicating an activity, to dedicating a "Reservoir of Jazz" day during one of the Sundays in the Park. Details to follow in a future newsletter.

Mark Taylor runs a Body Mind Centering workshop every summer, July 1 to August 1. Two women who are coming from California and Ireland for the month are looking for shared housing duing that time. They would prefer Highland Park because it's walking distance to the studio and they like the neighborhood. Does anyone have a house, part of a house, or apartment for a short term rental? They would prefer one with a porch. Please contact Diana Greenleaf at dgreenl(a)calhigh.net. thanks! Irina
