I'm looking for someone to apply wallpaper and do some indoor painting. Do any of y'all have recommendations? (Also, I want to make sure to find someone who will wear a mask and who I will feel safe inviting into my home in the wake of this contentious election) Thanks!

Give feedback on Super Playground redesign ideas - Meeting on Dec 3rd
by Highland Park Pittsburgh, PA 06 Nov '20

06 Nov '20

The Super Playground is the large wooden playground on Reservoir Drive. As many of you are aware, the playground was built by the community in 1991 and was designed to last 20 years. We’ve been able to extend its life a bit but it is now in need of a full replacement. The new playground will utilize the current playground’s footprint and will be designed and built with the same emphasis on creating a unique, creative playspace. To gather public input on playground design so far, the City and the project designer (Merritt Chase) created a website where people could submit ideas (https://engage.pittsburghpa.gov/highland-park-super-playground) had an online survey; circulated design worksheets; and had a workshop at the October HPCC Community Zoom Meeting. On Dec 3rd, they are hosting another Zoom meeting to unveil the preliminary plans and seek more public feedback. This is likely the last chance for the public to provide open-ended feedback on the design so we hope you - and your little ones - can join and share your thoughts! Zoom meeting info: - Thur Dec 3, 5 - 6:30 pm - Sign up at https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZYkduGoqzoiG9bKQt9XddYWzpuzJT1EGO… For more information about the project, visit https://engage.pittsburghpa.gov/highland-park-super-playground -- *Highland Park Community Council* Visit our website by clicking here. <https://hpccpgh.org/>

06 Nov '20

Dear Neighbors, First of all, we hope you and yours are safe and well !!! There have been a couple of drives to get supplies to NRP (used to be FOCUS) during the last two months, but we did not wish to take away from the efforts directly helping those within our own neighborhood, so have handled setting up meals, etc, there. They have had limited access to the public coming in one by one, so the needs have been a little less, but with Quarantine opening up, they are again expanding their availability to those in need. We are again letting our neighborhood know that we will be driving the neighborhood picking up for the monthly NRP Collection this coming Thursday, 12 NOV 2020. We will be around the neighborhood at 9:00 AM that morning, so we are looking for non-perishable food to restock their pantry & Clothing. THIS IS A DIFFERENT DRIVE THEN THE ANGEL TAGS/CHRISTMAS PRESENT COLLECTION E-MAIL FROM A COUPLE OF DAY AGO !!! If you have questions on that, please again contact me regarding that directly !!! Please note the attachment with their Mission Statement and Impact Programs. Please donate, as these are all needed and we are running our monthly pick-up from the neighborhood for Supplies for FOCUS, now Neighborhood Resilience Project !!! Mike and Brigette Nadler, are coordinating the Highland Park pick up. If you are inclined to help, leave the supplies on your front porch, then we will pick up and get your donations to FOCUS, now Neighborhood Resilience Project (NRP). So we are doing this again this coming Thursday, 12 NOV 2020. We will be around starting at 9:00 AM, and need to get the donations there by noon.

Fwd: City Accepting Applications for Snow Angels Program
by Highland Park Pittsburgh, PA 05 Nov '20

05 Nov '20

*Published:* 11.05.2020 *Contact:* Timothy McNulty Communications Director Mayor's Office 412-660-1999 timothy.mcnulty(a)pittsburghpa.gov City Accepting Applications for Snow Angels Program PITTSBURGH, PA (November 5, 2020) The City of Pittsburgh’s Office of Community Affairs is now accepting applications for the 2020-2021 Snow Angels Program. This program pairs older adult residents and residents with disabilities with nearby volunteer Snow Angels to help them shovel and salt their sidewalk and property throughout the winter. Along with fostering stronger community relationships and relieving some of the stress that comes from snowfall or a freeze, Snow Angels make our sidewalks safer for those who are outside during the winter weather – like postal carriers, firefighters, police officers , and other neighbors. To request help from a Snow Angel, neighbors must: - Be at least 60 years old or have a physical disability - Live within City of Pittsburgh limits - Lack other resources (financial or family/friends nearby) to assist with snow removal Volunteers and neighbors in need can register for the program online at https://pittsburghpa.gov/snowangels/ or by calling the City’s 311 Response Center. The 2019-2020 program saw over 276 neighbors matched with volunteers to help them manage the hardships of winter. “We’re pleased that the Snow Angels Program has grown every year, but there are always more vulnerable residents who need help than volunteers,” said Mayor William Peduto. “I encourage Pittsburgh residents to sign up as a Snow Angel to help a neighbor in their community.” The Office of Community Affairs will offer incentives throughout the winter season for individuals to volunteer on their social media accounts on Facebook (facebook.com/ocapgh) Twitter (@ocapgh) and NextDoor. Community-based organizations, companies or employers are encouraged to assist with volunteer recruitment in their communities by having volunteers mention the organization’s name when they register. The organization that recruits the most volunteers will win the 2020-2021 Golden Shovel award and other incentives, including gift cards from local businesses and free passes to Schenley Park Ice Rink, that will be announced later. For more information or to find out more about how to help with volunteer recruitment, visit pittsburghpa.gov/snowangels, contact the Snow Angels Program at snowangels(a)pittsburghpa.gov or call 412-255-0846. ------------------------------ .
