Hello, all. I am sorry to tell you that, due to a scheduling error, the Garden Club will not meet tomorrow. I will post a re-schedule date when we have it. In the meantime, if you were just dying to divide your perennials, I'd be happy to send you some "user friendly" info. And feel free to contact me!

There will be plenty of sessions and mobile workshops to choose from on Wednesday, May 14th, so plan accordingly. Here's a taste of what to expect on the first day of the Summit: Building Assets and Opportunities: Proven Approaches to Achieving Family Financial Stability Employment alone does not build wealth, lead to financial stability, or end poverty. Two emerging National models are helping families take control of their lives and over time break the cycle of poverty. Financial Opportunity Centers is a bundled service delivery approach that is successfully empowering individuals through employment services, financial coaching, and income support. Circles USA is an anti-poverty program that comprehensively connects a wide range of people, businesses, churches, and institutions. It focuses on putting those in poverty in the lead of achieving their goals and determining their future. Both renowned programs are targeting assistance to help individuals identify life goals and hold themselves accountable to making progress. Expert practitioners will provide insights into the barriers faced by those who are unemployed and in poverty, share the results of these programs, and discuss how to support creative ways to build income, assets, and wealth in our communities. Join the Conversation! >From now until the Summit, we'll be providing sneak peaks on different programmatic elements of the Summit.

2014 Great Highland Park Yard Sale
by Paul Miller 18 Apr '14

18 Apr '14

Neighbors, One of my favorite quotes is from the founder of 1-800-Got-Junk: "You are what you can't throw away." When I look at what I have laying around the house and think about this quote, I tense up. I don't want my possessions to define me, and I REALLY don't want the stuff lying in the basement to define me. It is time to reduce the clutter. Clean out those closets, empty out the basement, and make some money in the process. The Highland Park Community Council coordinates the Great Highland Park Yard Sale. As in years past, we expect over a thousand bargain hunters to visit the neighborhood. It will be held on Sunday, June 1st, beginning at 9am. It lasts as long as you like; things generally quiet down around 1pm. For those with limited yard space or foot traffic, there will be a flea market at the corner of Bryant and Highland. Please note on the form if you are interested in being stationed at the flea market. Call me at (412)999‑7568 or email to YardSale(a)HighlandParkPA.com for additional information. The Bryant Street Festival will be held in the afternoon. Stop by after the yard sale to see everyone and grab a bite to eat. To generate interest in the yard sale HPCC will post an advance, no-address, listing on the Highland Park website. This has been a big success. The website experiences record traffic in the week as people searched for items to buy. Get your yard sale form in early so treasure hunters can take a look at what you'll be selling. It is east to participate. This year you have the option to sign up via the Highland Park Community Council website. Visit www.hpccpgh.org and click on the yard sale link register. If you prefer to use the registration form, please complete and email or deliver the form with your payment of $15 cash or check (made out to HPCC) no later than Sunday, May 24th, to Paul Miller, 5714 Elgin Street, Pittsburgh, PA 15206 Your payment covers advertising and printing costs for maps, signs and address/sale item listings. Don’t forget to pick up your signs and balloons on Saturday, May 31st before the yard sale on Paul's front porch. To minimize errors, please print legibly. For questions, contact Paul at (412) 999-7568 or YardSale(a)HighlandParkPA.com Text Form: _______________________________________________________________ Name: Street Address: Phone Number: Stationed at the Flea Market?: Email (if available): Items For Sale: (Please be concise: no more than 325 characters. List best items first. There is no limitation on what is sold, only what is listed in the map / sales item packet.) _______________________________________________________________ End of form

[Highland Park] Recommending Nic Eaton
by Sherry Goldman 18 Apr '14

18 Apr '14

I, too, want to give a hearty recommendation to Nic Eaton! I called him to clean my porch furniture, sweep the leaves out of my garage and weed my garden and distribute topsoil. I called him on Sunday, and everything was done by Wednesday, and at a VERY reasonable price. He is personable, trustworthy, cooperative, and does excellent work. See pictures attached of before and after. Call him; you won't be disappointed.

Highland Park - For Sale - Closet Organizer
by Christopher Krivoniak 18 Apr '14

18 Apr '14

Hi All, I have a fantastic closet organizer for sale. It's extendable so it can fit into small or large spaces. It is currently extended to 6 feet, I know it goes to 7 and if I'm not mistaken it actually can be 8 feet long or as short as 4 feet. Great organizer with lots of shelf space as well as hanger space. Worked well to fit both mine and my wife's clothes. Served us well but it's time to go since we are unfortunately moving away. Asking $125, you haul but I can help get it loaded in your car. It does come apart for easy transport and it's easy to put back together. Chris K. 412-759-1210 Sent from my iPhone
