  • Volume 41 Issue 3 May/June 2012 President's Message by Pete
    Volume 41 Issue 3 May/June 2012 President’s Message by Pete Bellisario New Flowers. New Houses. New Street Cleanliness. And More. Hope you have been enjoying our nice weather and all the colors that come with spring. There are many articles that will be in this newsletter with much more information in the rest of the newsletter about the subjects that I will introduce in this report. May 5th will be our flower planting date. We always ask for volunteers, young and those young at heart. We will plant at three corners of California and Termon Avenues. Last year the Federation took responsibility for the last flower bed at the intersection of Ohio River and Brighton Heights Boulevards. The Western Pennsylvania Conservancy provides the plants and volunteers to plant in addition to our members. This year we have also added Antrim Street. Last summer, the Antrim Street group, under the leadership of Kelly Day and Jerome Jackson, received a grant from the Home Depot as part of the Mayor’s "Love Your Block" Program. They requested to be included in the future plantings, and we were very, very pleased to agree. If you haven’t been by the corner of Antrim and Fleming, you should check out what a small group of workers and volunteers can do -- a great job of improving their little neck of the woods. Last year we sponsored a day at PNC Park and all went very well except for the final baseball score. The Board decided to give it another shot and we will again provide bus transportation to and from the game.
