*THE HOUSE TOUR IS ON!* * *“Welcome Back to Highland Park” is this year’s theme for the Highland Park House Tour. This is such a good year for our neighborhood. We have the opening of the Park’s Entry Garden & Fountain, the PPC’s Hat Luncheon, the Junior League’s Designer Show House, the Union Project starting construction, the CDC’s continuing efforts in revitalization with current work happening on the 800 block of Mellon Street and even the Zoo has plans to renovate the Polar Bear Exhibit. We are proud to add the House Tour to the list! The date of the event is Saturday, October 1, 2005 from 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM. Be sure to mark your calendars! Co-Chairs Amy Maceyko, Brigette Nadler and Peter Hughes have already met several times to start organizing. The priorities on our to-do list are to place homes on the tour and to gather volunteers. WE NEED VOLUNTEERS! If you are interested in having your house on the tour, or if you have a neighbor you would like to nominate, the Committee is looking for homes of all sizes. We would like the tour to represent a range of homes, from renovations in progress to the charming and the grand. A meeting for the House Tour Committee will take place Wednesday, May 11^th at St. Andrews Church from 7:00 PM to 8:30 PM. If you are interested in being involved, please attend the meeting and bring your ideas of how you would like to help. We will discuss the various tasks that need to be completed and begin to determine who is interested in working the day of the event. Also, a surprise announcement will be made the night of the meeting! Amy Maceyko can be contacted at housetour@highlandparkpa.com <mailto:housetour@highlandparkpa.com>, Brigette Nadler is available at 363-6869 and Peter Hughes can be reached at 363-4603 if you have any questions or if you would like to volunteer and cannot attend the meeting. We hope to see you there!
