[Highland Park] I Need Your Help! $100 Reward
by JNB23＠pitt.edu 08 Jul '13

08 Jul '13

Hello Fellow Highlanders, My name is Justin Brown. I just graduated from the University of Pittsburgh and also run a successful painting business every summer to pay off my school loans. We are fully insured and bonded and I've attached 7 client reference letters, 4 of which are clients that live in Highland Park whose house I just painted this summer. I need your help in order to achieve my goal, if you are willing! It would mean a lot to me if you could take a few minutes and call some of your close friends, family, neighbors, co-workers, people you attend church with, etc and ask them if they need any painting/staining done. If so, I'll happily give them a free quote. I've also attached an email that you could forward to people. Here's the important part: I'll give you $100 for every referral you give me, granted they hire me to do the job. Here's the situation: I've been working my butt off (50 hrs a week) since February (I've gone door-to-door every week, even when there was snow on the ground, I've done 72 estimates so far, I've put lawn signs on every one of my job sites, flyer dropped Highland Park too many times to count, etc etc) all while taking 18 credits, doing another internship with ADP, and managing 2 paint crews. I'm incredibly close to hitting my goal of $100k in revenue. If I reach that, not only will I be able to pay off a good chunk of my student loans, but also I will get to go to Cancun all expenses paid, and break the all-time record for College Works Painting in Pennsylvania. Most importantly though, I will have proved to myself that I can do just about anything that I put my mind to. Being that I just graduated from Pitt, I really really want to be able to say to my next interviewer that I ran a $100,000 business while in college! Please help me reach my goal! Thank you very much, Justin Brown College Works Painting Branch Manager 831-214-2911

Hi neighbors! I may refrain from sending email reminders about our summer series in an effort to reduce your email intake, but do please note that this will be going on throughout the summer for sure (through Aug. 26) so mark your calendars! Also, we will more than likely be to the left of the fountain from here on out instead (when facing the park/steps). I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the weather will cooperate for tomorrow :) Hope to see you then! Summer Yoga in the Park Mondays from 7:30-8:30PM June 24-August 26 HIGHLAND PARK to the LEFT of fountain (weather permitting) *Suggested Donation: $8* *all levels welcomed* *bring water bottle, and a mat or towel if desired* *Instructors: Christy Valencheck, Katrina Woodworth, Stefanie Zito* * * Contact Katrina Woodworth for more information. 412-983-4820 -- Stefanie Zito *For all your hooping needs: *Spinster Hoops <http://spinsterhoops.com/> *Join the community: *Steel City Hoop Union<http://www.facebook.com/steelcityhoopunion> *Connect on* Twitter <http://twitter.com/#!/SpinsterHoops> *"You can discover more about a person in an hour of play than in a year of conversation."

[Highland Park] Jeff Kalas - Excellent Electrician
by S P 07 Jul '13

07 Jul '13

Hi folks, I just wanted to give a shout out to Jeff Kalas who serviced my electrical needs last week. The person I had working on the issue kind of left me in the middle of the project without any response. I emailed Jeff and he was here in two days. He showed up on time, showed me his certifications and insurance, looked at the problem, gave me a price and had it fixed within an hour. He also fixed some safety issues as well. Jeff was more than happy to show me everything he was doing and explained why it needed to be corrected. His charge was fair and he was very personable and easy to deal with. He cleaned up everything very thoroughly too! He came recommended from others on the HP'ers list serve. I highly recommend Jeff Kalas. His email is kalas1145(a)comcast.net.
