Everyone,


If you know any of the following professionals - landscape architects, civil
engineer, stormwater management consultant, and cost estimator - please let
them know that the Coalition and the Community Design Collaborative are
looking for design volunteers to assist us in greening the play yards at Lea
Elementary School (see full email below). We are excited about this
opportunity at Lea, but it can only happen if the Collaborative has
volunteers for the project. Volunteers should contact Heidi Levy at
he...@cdesignc.org


Thanks,


David Hincher

[UC] Parking Spaces @ 43rd & Baltimore

[Karen Allen]

I was riding past the Green Line this afternoon and saw the parking spaces on 
the 43rd Street side blocked off with sawhorses and the cars replaced with 
tables and chairs. 
What's up with that?

[UC] Missing: dark tortoiseshell kitty with bad right eye - 43rd Osage/Pine

[Linda]

This very friendly indoor-outdoor dark tortoiseshell kitty is missing  
from 409 S. 43rd (since Monday).  No collar or microchip.  She's  
petite, about 2yrs old, and fixed.  She has a condition with her right  
eye (as you can see from the photo) that needs to be dealt with.  If  
you've seen her (or are able to capture her) please contact Lia at  
215-559-4648,  or email me back.


If you live within a few blocks of here please check your yard, alley,  
under porch, basement, garage, etc.  She may be injured and hiding.
Sorry, the pic of her won't transmit to the purple list for some  
reason.  I can email to anyone directly.


thanks.  -L
