PSCA will be collecting Toys this holiday season to assist our Community Police Officer Ace Delgado in his Toy Drive efforts. Toys should be for children between the ages of 5-8 and should be new. Gifts are preferred wrapped with a tag saying “boy” or “girl”, but wrapping is not mandatory. We will be collecting the toys at the Tree Planting and December PotLuck/Silent Auction General Meeting (December 1).

On Tuesday September 1 the Civic Association will be back from its summer break with a general meeting. The meeting will be at the SPOAC at Dickinson and Passyunk at 6:30pm. Come out and hear about the exciting things the board has been working on over this year and the plans for the rest of this year and next. We will also be talking about the street cleaning program that we kicked of this week. Plus hear about the new master plan for Gold Star Park presented by Nicole Hostetler. Also we will be providing recycling buckets and No-Circular stickers to put on your door.

Finally, we are looking for new board members to help us achieve our goals over the next year. If you are interested in planning events, being a part of town watch, providing outreach to the community or want to help with trash & recycling we would love to see you at the meeting.
