Bring your energy and your best turkey strut. It’s the perfect way for kids to start Thanksgiving Day with fun and fresh air! 

The Highland Park Community Council is hosting a Volunteer Fair this Thursday, November 20th at 7 PM at St. Andrews, and you’re invited! Come learn about the many ways you can get involved, support your neighbors, and help make our neighborhood an even better place to call home.

Whether you’re interested in events, parks, safety, outreach, or behind-the-scenes planning, there’s a place for everyone to contribute. Meet current volunteers, explore different committees, ask questions, and find the perfect fit for your time and talents.

And yes… we’ll have fresh-baked cookies out of the oven!  Stop by, grab a treat, and discover how you can make a meaningful impact right here in Highland Park. Registration is preferred but not required. 

Join your neighbors in donating Thanksgiving trimmings for seniors at the Vintage Senior Center!

From now through Nov 15th: Drop off your donations of cranberry sauce, stuffing mix, cornbread mix, turkey gravy, and yams on the porch at 1128 Winterton St. Giant Eagle gift cards can also be donated and we’ll do the shopping! Email lfarramyers@gmail.com with questions.

There’s an open survey to help plan the future features of the Bryant St. Parklet and we’d love your input! http://hpccpgh.org/parklet

The Highland Park Community Council purchased the Bryant St. Parklet (at Euclid & Bryant) this summer, so that we could preserve it as a greenspace for the community. We are embarking on a design process to plan improvements and adjustments so that the Parklet can continue to serve and grow as a beautiful community amenity. 

Step one of that process is a survey process to get input from the neighborhood. Take the survey here: http://hpccpgh.org/parklet.

180 of you have already responded – thank you! Our goal is at least 330 responders, 10% of the neighborhood. 

You can hear more about the Parklet design process at the November 20th HPCC Community meeting (7pm @ St. Andrews).

Calling all ghosts, goblins, princesses, and pirates! Grab your costumes and join us for the Highland Park Community Council’s Annual Halloween Parade! There’ll be treats, tunes, and plenty of Halloween fun for the whole family.
