by Debi Arnett 04 Jun '12

04 Jun '12

It was a great day for our community at the Highland park Yard sale and Bryant street festival yesterday. Neighbors and visitors alike came out and enjoyed the day. Our great restaurants supplied wonderful food and the vendors put on some fun and interesting booths. Who's Your Brother had a booth at the festivities and got to talk with many people. Thanks to one of our supporters Hill Jordan we got to bring our message to the stage twice yesterday. One lady stopped by our booth and donated the last of the clothes she brought to sell that had not been taken. Our video crew was on hand interviewing residents and spreading the message of community. Others stopped by just to hear about what we were doing and learn more about how they can help others in the community. Some signed up for our exciting mobile app contest at www.whosyourbrother.com/contest where you can win prizes like I Pads and Kindle Fires through Aug 30th or bought tickets to one of our fund raising events scheduled for June and July. The first event will be Thurs June 28th at the Eclipse Wine bar in Lawrenceville 6-10 pm with Live jazz with Hill Jordan. The second will be our family friendly bowling event held at Arsenal lanes in Lawrenceville sun July 22nd from 4-7 pm. I have tickets available for both events if you contact me we can connect and I will get to meet you prior to the event. 412 328-2310. Let's show Lawrenceville that Highland Park neighbors can show up for a good cause. Go to www.whosyourbrother.com to learn more about us. I hope you will come out and see how the little things you do help make a difference in your community, or if you need help how your neighbors can be more than that ..they can become friends and advocates for you. All of the people that I had visiting from out of the area wanted to move here after seeing our community in action. Remember any left over sale items can be picked up for our next furnish for free event that will be held July 7th in Pt Breeze. A Big Thanks to Hill Jordan the festival coordinator and Paul Miller for all his work on the Yard Sale and Festival. It is a joy to live in highland park. Hope to see you all at one of our events. Come up and introduce yourself so I get to know you personally. Debi

Hello Neighbors- We didn't have enough time to wander around all the yard sales on Sunday. Does anyone has any leftover childrens clothes, particularly pajamas and summer clothes for 24m-2T girls or 12 month summer boys clothes? Before you take things to Goodwill or pack away for next years yard sale, could I come take a look? Much appreciated!! *christy -- A purpose of human life, no matter who is controlling it, is to love whoever is around to be loved. Kurt Vonnegut

[Highland Park] Wanted: Beer bottles and brewing keg
by Constanza Ehrenhaus 03 Jun '12

03 Jun '12

Hi! My husband started brewing his own beer and I was wondering if anybody has a little brown keg from Mr. Beer or similar that are not using (and will not use) anymore. Also, if you have old beer bottles with swing caps that you don't use I will be happy to take them! Thank you!
