ISO: part-time work or small projects to complete
by Elisabeth Clauss 20 Sep '20

20 Sep '20

Hi neighbors, I am currently in my final semester of graduate school at the University of Pittsburgh getting my Masters in Public Health. Due to my current position changing their business practices and opening to the public for inside service, I was looking for part-time employment or small projects to complete for others in Highland Park. Please let me know if you hear of anything or have anything available. Best, Elisabeth

We could use your help! Please consider volunteering for non-partisan voting efforts through emPOWER https://em2collab.net and BPEP (Black Political Empowerment Project) www.b-pep.net There are careful safety precautions to canvass on weekends and/or opportunities to phone bank with comprehensive training from your home on weekday evenings. If interested you can email me or emPOWER at grassroots(a)em2collab.net Also, consider ordering one of these originally designed yard signs. I can drop off at your place or you can pick up outside from my house in HP. https://em2collab.net/shop/ *"In the United States, the right to vote is the only right you can lose, simply by not using it." - Stacey Abrams* Best, Michele Michele de la Reza micheledelareza(a)gmail.com

Free: kids Spiderman costume
by Sara Vins Bobish 20 Sep '20

20 Sep '20

Hello neighbors, We received a Spiderman costume as a hand-me-down and it's too small for my 8 year old. There's no size on the tag, but I'm guessing it's about a 5T. I'd love to pass this on to a Spiderman-loving child. I'm on Jackson Street and would be happy to leave it at the bottom of my driveway. Thanks, Sara

Native plant garden program
by suzie salo 19 Sep '20

19 Sep '20

Hi Neighbors, With so many people making garden/yard improvements, I wanted to tell about the Backyard Habitat program by Audubon Society of Western Pa. (ASWP at Beechwood Farms).http://www.aswp.org/pages/backyard-habitat-program The program provides support and education to help you make small changes to your yard giving beauty for you and resources for birds and pollinators. I signed up in 2018 ($35.00) because I wanted my small yard to attract and support birds. -Someone from ASWP visited my property and talked to me. I discovered which of my plants were native to Pa. and got ideas and answers to my questions. Native plants are easiest to grow and are low maintenance. -Next, I received a customized report with suggestions for a garden plan. I added a few plants each year. ASWP provides many excellent and inexpensive classes throughout the year, often giving away native seedlings or seeds. - When I completed the plan, ASWP visited again and I received a certification sign. Not only birds, but butterflies, bees, moths, grasshoppers and the neighborhood children all enjoy the yard. It’s a low cost program that provides so much value to our environment and our properties.

We just got a set of IKEA office furniture from Craigslist but this piece didn’t fit. Decent condition, needs a wipe down. $20 it’s in my garage so no steps or need to come in my house. -Joanna Elsas 412-973-1847 Sent from my iPhone

A tip for Green tomatoes
by suzie salo 19 Sep '20

19 Sep '20

Hi neighbors My horticulture friend showed me years ago how she picked all of her green tomatoes, large and small and put them on newspaper covered trays or box tops. She put them in a back room out of the sun and covered them with another sheet of newspaper . Weeks later, they were ripe and ready to be chopped up for chili, soups or put into the freezer for later. No waste.

For Sale: New Outdoor Metal Fire Pit
by Rob Schwartz 19 Sep '20

19 Sep '20

We recently purchased the outdoor firepit pictured below. I assembled it and it looks and works great. Unfortunately, it just seems to be a bit too large for the size of our yard after using it only once. Thus, we're offering it for sale. We paid $129 for it on Amazon, but it looks like it's now priced at $110. Selling for $90 OBO. The best part is you don't have to assemble it! [image: image.png] https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07RGFCGS9/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_ti… Let me know if you're interested. Thanks! Rob Schwartz 412-304-2486

Hello neighbors, I'm looking for roller skates for my 8.5 year old son to learn to skate. They don't have to be fancy, I'd just rather not pay for new skates in case this is a fleeting interest. :) Thanks! Sara Jackson Street
