28 Aug '06

INSPIRING TEEN-AGER AND TIRELESS SUICIDE PREVENTATION WORKER TO SPEAK AT THE UNION PROJECT THIS THURSDAY. Local teen-ager, Argena Olivis, and CONTACT Pittsburgh program director, Christy Stuber, will be the Kiwanis Club of East Liberty speakers this Thursday, August 31 at the Union Project cafe. Please join us for this interesting program from 5:30 - 6:30 PM. Everyone is welcome! Peabody High School student,Argena Olivis attended the HOBY (Hugh O'Brien Youth) leadership training conference this summer <http://www.hoby.org/> and will be speaking about her experience. She is the first student from Peabody who has attended this incredible event. Christy Stuber from CONTACT Pittsburgh will outline the lifesaving work of the dedicated volunteers and staff of this outstanding crisis and suicide hotline, which provides immediate emotional support to those in crisis. Did you know that, in the United States, more people die by suicide each year than by homicide? Experts believe that most suicidal individuals do not want to die. They just want to end the pain they are experiencing. When suicidal intent or risk is detected early, lives can be saved. National Suicide Prevention Week will be September 10 through September 16! The Union Project is on the corner of Stanton and N. Negley. For more information or directions please contact Susy Robison at 412-392-4839 or <srobison(a)pittsburghsymphony.org>

[Highland Park] looking for 2 or 3 BR - 9/15 or 10/1
by Rebecca Rieger 24 Aug '06

24 Aug '06

I'm looking to rent a 2 or 3 BR apartment/townhouse/1/2 duplex beginning September 15th or October 1st. I'm a responsible, downtown-working professional with a child, a cat, and a well-behaved but large (approx. 65 pounds) dog. I would prefer a unit in a building that's not a conversion from a single-family house to cut down on potential noise complaints regarding my typical three-year-old son. Yard access, off-street parking, and laundry hookups would also be great. I'm looking primarily in Highland Park, but would also consider Friendship or Regent Square (within the city of Pittsburgh). If you have or know of a unit that might work, please email me at hera314(a)gmail.com or call 412-725-5261. Thanks in advance! Becky Rieger

Fw: [Highland Park] Kitchen Renovation
by Lisa Williams 23 Aug '06

23 Aug '06

Thank you to all who replied to my e-mail. I received a lot of good information and contacts. I definitely have my work cut out for me! If anyone wants the names/numbers I received, let me know and I'll forward. I'm compiling them into one list. Thanks again ----- Original Message ----- From: Lisa Williams To: neighborhood(a)highlandpark.pgh.pa.us Sent: Monday, August 21, 2006 6:28 PM Subject: [Highland Park] Kitchen Renovation We are starting the process of re-doing our kitchen. New cabinets, floors, and countertops. We have started talking to cabinet stores and their options to do the install as well, but wondered about getting our own contractor to do the install. Can anyone recommend a good contractor that has done a kitchen for them? One that is reasonable AND reliable? Thank you, Lisa C. Williams l.c.williams(a)att.net -- <http://www.highlandpark.pgh.pa.us/mailman/listinfo/neighborhood>

[Highland Park] Volunteer Opportunity
by Sarah Alessio 23 Aug '06

23 Aug '06

Last opportunity for the year! Volunteers needed! It's back to school time, and with that comes new beginnings and new opportunities. But the opportunities don't need to end in the classroom! The Pennsylvania Resources Council (PRC) needs your help at its collection for "hard to recycle" items on Saturday, September 16 from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. This is the last event in 2006. Taking place at Construction Junction (214 N. Lexington Street, East End--Pittsburgh), the event calls for residents to drop off cell phones, electronics, latex paint, tires, large appliances, phone books, bottles, cans and other items. All materials will be refurbished, recycled, or safely disposed of. A nominal fee will be charged for some, but not all items. PRC needs the help of volunteers to unload material from vehicles and to direct traffic in the parking lot. Refreshments will be provided by Whole Foods Market. All volunteers will receive a coupon for one free hour of kayaking courtesy of Kayak Pittsburgh. Lend a hand outside while the weather's still warm! For more information call Ginette at (412) 488-7490 x243. Visit www.prc.org <http://www.prc.org> for details on the collections.
