HPCC Kids' Committee Chair Needed
by Teri Rucker 10 Jun '19

10 Jun '19

Hi Everyone,After ten years of being responsible for the children's events hosted by the Highland Park Community Council, it is time for me to step down and find a replacement. We are unexpectedly moving in August, so I hope someone -- or a group of folks -- will be willing to take over. Working with the kids has been a wonderful way to meet neighbors and get involved in the community. Helping the kids learn new skills or just do something fun has been really rewarding and is always a highlight of my summer. It was a wonderful way for become part of this fabulous community when we first moved here, so if you are new to Highland Park or Pittsburgh, I can't think of a better way to get to know your neighbors. I will walk you through what events I have done and I have lots of craft supplies to pass on. Our next event if the July 4 parade complete with bike/tricycle/wagon decorating. It would be great to have someone on board for that event. Please get in touch if you are interested and I can share more details. Thanks,Teri
