[Highland Park] Advisory....
by Dana Ash 15 Nov '13

15 Nov '13

A few weeks ago I installed a new anti-virus/anti-malware program that periodically converts the email notices from the Highland Park listserv to a text file and provides an alert indicating that it has "found malicious contact in the attached email message." I suspect that there are subscribers and content providers that have malware or viruses attached to their email addresses without even knowing it! Happens to the best of us. However, I wanted to alert you to this and suggest that, if you do not have a security screening program that you use before sending notices on the listserv, that you think about obtaining one. This does not occur with all of the email I receive from the listserv, but it does happen more frequently than I think it should. Thanks, Dana Ash DANA ASH ASHWORKZ CONSULTING LLC Business Management & Accounting 412 661 5714 (voice only) 412 927 1087 (fax)

[Highland Park] Fwd: free piano uhaul. REPOSTING
by Lisa Eddy 15 Nov '13

15 Nov '13

I am REPOSTING this, our first taker fell through. I do not know the date of the piano, some have asked. It will need to be tuned and has two keys that stick. One of the pedals is missing. It is heavy, but on wheels. Will probably need 3 people to move or 2 strong men. It is a nice piano to learn on, we used it a lot when our children were small and just learning. Please email or call 4128779432 if interested. Thanks. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: *Lisa Eddy* Date: Monday, October 28, 2013 Subject: free piano uhaul To: "neighborhood(a)highlandparkpa.com" <neighborhood(a)highlandparkpa.com> We have a lovely old piano that we need to part with. Please email if you are interested. Lmeddy88(a)gmail.com <javascript:_e({}, 'cvml', 'Lmeddy88(a)gmail.com');> ---------- Forwarded message -------

HP Neighbors, I have been having a blast hosting an open mike these last couple of Friday evenings at the Oh Yeah! Coffee, Ice Cream and Waffle Shop, 232 S. Highland Ave. (www.theohyeah.com) The music and poetry have been wonderful, and it's a great place to bring the kids for a little dessert and entertainment! The fun begins at 7:30, with sign-up staring at 7:00. My guitar is available, or bring your own, or any other instrument you care to share with us! Thanks for supporting all the local businesses, and hope to see you there. Your Host, KC

[Highland Park] Highland Park Garden Club meeting tomorrow morning.
by Elisabeth Larman 15 Nov '13

15 Nov '13

Hello neighbors, A reminder that the Highland Park Garden Club will have their monthly meeting tomorrow at 10:00 am at the Union Project. There will be a presentation on dividing plants and using leaves as mulch instead of sending them to the landfill. Our main program will be a presentation by the Nine Mile Watershed Association on their mission and on using water barrels and rain gardens. Thanks to the water barrels and their advice our basement is now dry! Have you noticed the changes at the Union Project? The Highland Park Garden Club cleaned up the gardens on the Negley side and will continue on the Stanton side as weather allows. To see story and pictures go to our Facebook page and become a friend of The Highland Park Garden Club. See you tomorrow! Elisabeth
