[cid:image001.png@01D62938.78043F60] Our two schnauzers didn't really go for the crate so we're offering it for $20.00 to anyone that could make good use of it. It was bought less than a year ago. At present the dog bed is laundered and the crate disassembled for easy pickup. Email for further arrangements/interest.

MAY FOCUS Pittsburgh collection next week on Wednesday, 20 MAY 2020, starting at 9:00 AM for Non-Perishable Food ONLY
by Michael Nadler 13 May '20

13 May '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 next week on Wednesday, 20 MAY 2020. We will be around the neighborhood at 9:00 AM that morning, so we are looking for non-perishable food ONLY to restock there pantry. PLEASE NO CLOTHES on this month's pickup, as NRP has moved locations, and is working on setting up both storage, as well as distribution at the new location. Reminder, not only has Focus moved a couple of blocks, but has also changed its name to Neighborhood Resilience Project (NRP), however it remains under the direction of Father Paul Abernathy. 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 !!! In March we took a smaller load, but it was so needed and so much appreciated. 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 next week on Wednesday, 20 MAY 2020. We will be around starting at 9:00 AM, and need to get the donations there by noon. Please DO NOT drop off here, as we do not have a way of storing donations. Just email us your actual address to: mike(a)divehards.com<mailto:mike@divehards.com>, to let us know what to expect to pick up (as well as what not to take off your porches !!!), and we will get back to you. MAKE SURE that there is a Phone Number, so that we can reach you during collection times, should there be any questions. In advance, thank you for your consideration. Mike & Brigette Michael Millet Nadler Past President and Board Member, Highland Park Community Council Pittsburgh, PA 15206 (412) 363-3483, Fax: (412) 363-2925, e-mail: mike(a)divehards.com<mailto:mike@divehards.com>

Garden class tomorrow (Wednesday, may 13th)
by Rachel Kudrick 12 May '20

12 May '20

Hey, folks! I realized that a ton of people are gardening for the first time this year because of all the crazy recent events. That means a lot of you probably have questions. So, instead of a formal topic this week, I thought we'd hold a "Bring your questions" gardening class. Now, while this is your chance to get those questions answered, please recognize that I'm likely not going to be able to answered incredibly detailed or specific questions. If you have those, give it a try. But, if I can't answer them, write them down and email them to me. I'm always happy to work topics into an existing class, it even create a new one! Good question examples: "My compost stinks. Am I doing something wrong?" "My tomato seed packet says 'indeterminate.' what does that mean?" "How often should I fertilize my houseplants?" "What do I need to do to get my soil ready for planting?" "How can I get birds to come to my yard?" "I want plants for shade. Any suggestions?" "Where can I buy food quality (insert type of plant here)?" "What's your favorite ice cream flavor?" Not-so-good question examples: "Can you show me how to graft an apple tree?" (Yes. But not over Zoom.) "My lawnmower won't start. What's wrong?" (It's broken.) "Here are pictures of all the plants in my yard. What are they?" (I'll need more information than that, and some books.) "I used to have this plant and I'd like to get it again. It was green and the leaves had a white stripe. It had really pretty white flowers. Can you tell me what it was?" (No. No idea. Sounds neat.) "What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?" (African or European?) I can handle lots of questions about: perennials, trees, shrubs, edibles and even some houseplants (I was an orchid grower for 7 years). I'm totally willing to admit to very little specific knowledge about lawns/non-ornamental grasses. I'm also a certified pest education instructor, so can handle some of those questions, too. So, I'll be available on Zoom tomorrow from 9:30-11:30 am and again from 6:30-8:30 pm. If you learn something valuable in class, and you can afford it: $15. If it ends up being a just got you, or you just don't have extra cash right now: no cost. Cash, check, credit, venmo, PayPal... And, if those times aren't convenient, but you're interested in these classes, it just in asking some questions: call or text me. I'm here to help! Rachel 412-251-9759

Looking for some trays
by Liz 12 May '20

12 May '20

I’m looking for a few trays for storing potted seedlings, about the size of cafeteria trays. Maybe you have an old one that’s just collecting dust somewhere? I’ll pick it up off your porch if you’d like to get rid of it. Thank you! Liz

Hello all, I hope this message finds you well. My family and I are in search of a stationary bike, weights, and/or a rowing machine to take off of your hands. As it is becoming increasingly more difficult to exercise outside at a safe distance from others, I thought I would reach out to the HP community for assistance with this. Best, Elisabeth Sent from my iPhone
