October 2012  

Hey Volunteers,

Happy Fall! If you haven’t been out to the parks over the last few weeks, you’re missing a great show of colors. The parks will be at their most beautiful over the next month, so now’s the perfect time to take in the views by grabbing a shovel and a pair of gloves to keep Pittsburgh’s best backyards healthy and beautiful. Volunteering with the Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy is a great way for people of all ages to give back to the parks and ensure that  future generations will enjoy the same thriving green space.

We have 4 volunteer days coming up and we need your help! The details are up on our website – www.pittsburghparks.org/volunteerdays – where you can register as an individual or for a group. As you’ll see, we’re making another big push to plant 125 trees in each park with areas threatened by Emerald Ash Borer and Oak Wilt disease. We’ll also be performing trail work and battling invasive species.

We know a well fed army works hardest, so lunch is on us after you’ve worked up an appetite. All volunteers should wear long pants, closed-toe shoes, and clothing for rain-or-shine, and as always, we’ll provide the tools, gloves, and instruction. Let me know if you have any questions, otherwise, I’ll see you out there!

Cheers,

Taiji

Fred,

I just wanted to let you know that i’m issuing a permit for The Ellis School to use the Stanton Ave. courts starting today, 3:30 – 5:30.  They normally use the Bubble for their matches and practices but we’re closed for repairs until the season opens Oct. 7.

Good Morning Gene,imageimage
Wow!  Congratulations and I loved that trophy.  However, it doesn’t surprise me because you have always been gifted with the physical prowess to do whatever you wanted to do.  It good to see that you decided to focus and prepare to be the best you can possibly be before it’s too late.  I have to share this with the HPTC.
 
In closing, the HPTC is very proud of you and we miss you and Sonsee.  Please send me a family photo so we can feature you and your trophy on our blog.
 
May God continue to bless you and Sonsee with whatever you need!
 
Tennis, you’re gonna love it!
