Police to Attend Tomorrow's Meeting
HAPPY NEW YEAR to all! Make a resolution to stay involved in your community by coming out to our next Board meeting, where Lt. Rick Lanzetta from the 6th Police District will join us to talk about ways to reduce crime in the neighborhood.

The Lieutenant was assigned by Captain Korn to implement the PSA initiative in our area. PSA #3 is bound by the Delaware River and Broad Street, from Lombard Street to Chestnut Street. He is responsible for the deployment of officers in this area and for reaching out to the community, so please come to share your concerns.

Also attending tomorrow's meeting, David Quinn and Mural Arts Program folks will come to discuss and present the mural for the wall on the house facing the Sartain Garden.

Join us on Tuesday, January 12th at 7 pm at 1001 Locust Street, Room 224, Dorrance H. Hamilton Building at Jefferson.
