Christmas Tree Recycling - Girl Scouts
by GS Troop 52470 01 Jan '18

01 Jan '18

Dear Neighbors, If you are not aware, the city will trash your Christmas tree if it is curb side (even if you put it out on the day they say you can do so for curbside pickup), but you CAN drop your tree at a yard waste lot. However, our Girl Scout troop is once again going to raise funds by collecting Christmas trees in Highland Park, Morningside and East Liberty neighborhoods and delivering them to yard recycling for the city for you. We will be collecting on Saturday, January 6 between 9am and 4pm. We are looking for a donation of $5/tree. A sister troop, Troop 55286, will be picking up trees in Point Breeze and Friendship. Last year, we were able to keep over 75 trees out of the land fill. We are committed to returning to our community, and 10% of this year's cookie and tree recycling funds will also be donated. We are working with the girls to pick an organization. Please let us know via email if you are interested in having us pick up your tree this year. We can accept PayPal ahead of time, as well as cash at the time we pick up the tree. In previous years, some folks left the money in an envelope at a designated spot, so they did not need to be home when we got the trees. We can only get around 75 trees, so let us know asap so you can be sure to have a spot! One way or another, as other neighbors have mentioned, if you do not want us to pick up your tree, please make an effort to recycle it, rather than putting it into the trash. The Post Gazette lists the places that you can take care of recycling your tree on your own: *http://www.post-gazette.com/local/city/2017/12/26/Pittsburgh-holiday-Christmas-tree-recycling-throwing-away-refuse-pick-up/stories/201712220131 <http://www.post-gazette.com/local/city/2017/12/26/Pittsburgh-holiday-Christ…>* Additionally, Girl Scouts in the neighborhood will be taking cookie orders in the coming weeks. If you don't already have a source for Girl Scout cookies, we'll be happy to take your order when we get your tree and deliver the cookies in February, when they come in. Wishing you a wonderful New Year! Heather Conrad Troop 52489 GSTroop52470(a)gmail.com 412.606.9263 <(412)%20606-9263> -- Heather Conrad Troop 52470 GSTroop52470(a)gmail.com 412.606.9263

Door to Door solicitation for East Hills Hyenas?
by Caroline 31 Dec '17

31 Dec '17

Someone came to our door this evening (New years Eve) solicitation money for his brother that had been killed, associated with the East Hills Athletic Association. We did not give anything but said that we would go to the website to give, but there was nothing on the East Hills Athletic Association Site. Does anyone know about this? Is it a scam? It was odd to come around New Years Eve at dinner time. Caroline

ISO a teeny tiny amount of shellac
by Iva Provias 31 Dec '17

31 Dec '17

Hi neighbors, I'm trying to restore a vintage fountain pen and I just need a small amount of shellac to adhere the new bladder to the section. I'm not planning on taking this up as a hobby so I don't want to buy a half gallon of the stuff at Home Depot... For your time and kindness I can trade any of the following: eternal thanks, a small bag of pistachios, a coffee at the Tazza D'oro, a bottled homebrew (pale ale, nothing special, provided you are 21+), or I can show you the pen and tell you the story about it (again, nothing special but it's a nice story anyway). Many good wishes in the New Year, Iva

Just a warning….. I had a package delivered today. It was broken into but fortunately nothing was taken. Guess they didn’t want cleaning supplies but still - it appears that thieves are still at it.

ALERT: THIEVES/Offering TO SHOVEL Snow
by rbedeian＠aol.com 30 Dec '17

30 Dec '17

Hello Neighbors, BE AWARE OF THIEVES POSING AS SNOW SHOVELERS Around 4 PM today (SAT. -December 30), two young black males (aged 15 or 16) rang our doorbell (Wer'e at the corner at N. Highland & Bryant Court) & offered to shovel snow. After declining, they left. However, as they left, one of them took a small package from our lower basement door, and took off running down Bryant Street. Here's a brief description: One had a grey jacket; the other had a blue jacket. One carried an orange shovel. Pittsburgh police were notified and a report was filed. George
