Found dog

Lost dog spotted on the 5600 block of Callowhill, right by Negley. Looks to be about 35- 40 lbs and 8-10 months, very playful and sweet. The folks who live there aren’t on the list serve and flagged me down as I was walking our dogs. If you recognize her, let me know and I can send along the phone number for the people who found her.

by Highland Park Garden Club Pgh 21 Sep '22

21 Sep '22

OCTOBER 8 at 10 am (raindate: Sunday, October 9) Natural Materials Animals Children’s Craft Activity at the Highland Park Community Parklet N. Euclid Ave and Bryant Street, Pittsburgh 15206. Activity Leader: Diana Pelletier, HPGC President. Children will learn how to make a straw animal from straw, sticks, nuts, and other natural materials. The straw will be bound with twine that children can learn to knot. Some items may need to be glued, so an adult with a glue gun will assist. This activity is appropriate for children ages 6 to 10, although older children are welcome (as are parents and grandparents). Younger children can participate if accompanied and supervised by an adult. Materials will be supplied, but participants are encouraged to bring any natural materials from their own yards to use and share. Kid-sized work gloves are helpful, but not necessary. The event is free for HPGC members; if you'd like to attend, please RSVP by October 5 by emailing hpgcpgh(a)gmail.com with the number of children and any adults.. Non-members are welcome by registering through Eventbrite (click here); a donation is requested. Diana Pelletier has been an avid gardener for many years. A keen naturalist’s eye and curiosity about the natural world have led her to develop expertise in a wide variety of garden-related matters, which she shares through HPGC programs. She taught art classes for children through Arts in the Parks. Diana is also the author of the “Urban Gardener” series of articles in the Highland Park Community Club newsletter. For more information about the Highland Park Garden Club and it's programs, please visit our website or Facebook page. Highland Park Garden Club, Pittsburgh PA

HPCC September Newsletter
by Highland Park Community Council 20 Sep '22

20 Sep '22

View this email in your browser (https://mailchi.mp/7bd019d2d285/hpcc-september-newsletter?e=eb0bdabb3c) Logo ** Welcome Fall! ------------------------------------------------------------ First and foremost, thank you to the HPCC board and other volunteers for making our summer activities such a success! Having been raised in the northeast (New Hampshire), I learned to welcome each season and the changes to weather, activities and pace of life they offer. But not all seasons are created equal. Summer harkens of barbeques and shorts and vacations, but it wears out its welcome with its blazing heat and stifling humidity - and for some, it ends on a melancholy note with the readjustment to school and “real life.” But fall gives us something to look forward to every day, like pulling out cozy sweaters, watching the trees change color, and rediscovering seasonal treats like pumpkin pie, apple cider and gingerbread. And unlike summer, fall doesn’t wear out its welcome. After stunning us with its foliage, Halloween delights our inner child. As the temperature and leaves drop, we get to enjoy the magic of waking to our first hard frost. Fall then peaks at Thanksgiving with its gatherings of loved ones, and ends on a high note - just in time for the winter holidays, but before the cold and dark cause drives many of us to hibernate. Join the HPCC as we usher in the fall with our annual parklet cleanup (Oct 15) and Pumpkin Patch (Oct 16). Pumpkins and mums, cider and scarecrows - I’m falling in love with fall again! Stephanie Walsh, HPCC President ** Upcoming Neighborhood Events ------------------------------------------------------------ Parklet Cleanup Help keep our parklet beautiful. Join us for a fall work party! * When: Oct. 15, 9 a.m. - 12 p.m. * Where: the parklet, corner of Bryant St. and Euclid Pumpkin Patch The annual Pumpkin Patch in the parklet returns this year.

That seemingly cheerful sight is, in fact, a sobering Memorial to the Lost. Each t-shirt shows the name, age and date of death of an Allegheny County resident who has been killed with an illegal gun. Just a fraction of the total, Eastminster shares the memorial with three other churches but on November 10, after several more stops, the entire memorial will fill the lawn at St. Andrew’s on Hampton St. The project began in 2017 in Philadelphia and has spread across the state. When the Allegheny County Memorial to the Lost was first assembled at St. Brendan’s Episcopal Church in Franklin Park, there were 65 t-shirts representing illegal gun victims killed between November 2021 and July 2022. Arthur Noonan, a vestry member at St. Andrew’s who provided the impetus for bringing the memorial to Highland Park, estimates that, judging by the ever-rising toll, our neighborhood could see 100 colorful t-shirts shivering in the cold. Other St. Andrews activities: * Starting in September, services resume at 8 a.m., 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. on Sundays, plus the noon service on Wednesday. Church School has resumed for children ages four to nine during the 10 a.m. service on Sunday. * St. Andrew’s will participate in the annual Crop Walk on Oct. 9. Many east end churches participate to raise money for hunger initiatives. For details, please visit www.standrewspgh.org. * The first Evensong of the season will be on Sunday Sept. 25 at 5 p.m. * The Blessing of the pets will be held on Sunday, Oct. 2 during the 10 a.m. service. All are welcome to attend with their pets, (dogs must be leashed). There will be seasonal refreshments on the lawn following the service. Check out the September meeting minutes here!
