This is out of our neighborhood, but just barely, and the developer also has some plans for properties in our neighborhood. You might want to view the entire thread on the South Philly neighborhood forum, if you haven't already. Specifics about the meeting are here: http://www.phillyblog.com/philly/sho...6&postcount=88 Sorry for the short notice. We really should have picked this up and echoed it earlier in the week.

SOSNA's General MEETING is on Wednesday, 4/12, but no formal announcement has been made.

Does anyone have the time, place, and subjects?

I've seen an informal report, but until something proper comes out (which was supposed to happen today) I'm reluctant to post something that may have been provisional.

Contradicting myself -- I was interested to note that Bill Stern, our PMBC clean block rep -- was part of that provisional e-mail. Anyone interested in doing a 4/29 block cleanup, or in making contact with Bill, should keep an eye on this topic and hold 4/12 open if possible.

Dear Members:

Attached and pasted below is the information for the General Meeting
Wednesday, April 12, 2006 at 7:30pm. The meeting will be held
at Graduate Hospital in the Boehm Auditorium. The past two months the
General Meetings have been focused on crime, crime prevention and
establishing a partnership with the 17th police district and other law
enforcement entities that will assist in creating a safe enviornment
for all citizens of the SOSNA service area. The meeting
on April 12th representatives of the Managing Directors Office will be
present to discuss graffiti, vacant lot issues, dumping (all quality of
life issues and problems that lead to crime) and the Mayor's Take the
Challege program. Bill Stern, Clean Block Officer for the 17th
district of the Philadelphia More Beautiful Committee (PMBC) division
of the Streets Department will discuss the upcoming cleanup in the 17th
District on April 29th.

Hope to see you there. I realize Wednesday at Sundown begins Passover
and many residents will not be able to attend however if you would like
to submit questions, complaints, locations of derelict lots, abondoned
cars (etc) please email them and I will forward them to the appropriate
city agency.
