Membership Renewal Letters are In The Mail
The letters and application forms are in the mail this week! If you haven't renewed online already, we hope you'll do it via snail mail, and that you'll give a couple of bucks to our Street Cleanup Fund as well.
Please Be Aware
Several people in the neighborhood have seen and/or been threatened by a man who matches the description of the suspect wanted for the recent Clinton Street rape and robbery. One woman reports that sis beard is different now, as it does not meet at the chin and the sideburns are wider...more like a mutton chop. He's also heavier. He was wearing dark blue work pants and a dark blue jacket, no hat.
Please take a look at the sketch below. If you see someone who fits this description, get to a safe place as fast as possible and call 911 immediately with a description of his location and clothes. The police can pick him up for questioning and a DNA sample, which is how they hope to solve this case.

Community Forums to Explore City Budget Cuts
The University of Pennsylvania Project for Civic Engagement is hosting a series of four community forums in various neighborhoods across the city. Called The City Budget: Tight Times, Tough Choices, Citizen Priorities, the forums are designed to be work sessions where Philadelphians will meet in small groups to work through some of the actual budget choices facing the city. Our goal is for participants to identify priorities and the trade-offs they are willing to make to reach those priorities. Mayor Nutter and city officials have agreed to consider input from the forums in developing the City's proposed budget for 2010.
