Is there any better way to wrap up a summer weekend than with free jazz and a picnic in the park? No! Reservoir of Jazz returns to the Highland Park entry garden on Aug 6th and is sponsored by the HPCC, RAD, and WZUM Jazz Pittsburgh. Concerts last from 5 – 7 pm.

Be sure to stop by the HPCC table for your membership sticker – or to join! – and to buy 50/50 raffle tickets (winners are drawn at the end of the show). The HPCC Children’s Committee will have its own tent with activities each week.

The 2nd Annual Highland Park Hullabaloo is coming up soon:  Thursday, June 22nd from 4 – 8 pm, at the Rhododendron Shelter on Stanton Ave.  This neighborhood block party includes free food, live music, and lots of fun!  

Please consider volunteering for an hour or two – – many of our board members will be out of town so we are currently short handed. It takes a village – or in this case, a neighborhood! Sign-up to volunteer at: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/9040F4DA5A72BA4F85-hullabaloo
