Announcing the SOSNA STREET TREE PLANTING MATCHING GRANT PROGRAM

Dear Neighbors:

It is SOSNA's great pleasure to announce the STREET TREE PLANTING MATCHING GRANT PROGRAM.  This program is intended to encourage residents and business owners to plant and properly maintain street trees, which benefit the entire community. 

If certain steps and criteria are met, SOSNA will reimburse the lesser of $200 or 50% of the cost of installing a street tree, and if a tree pit does not already exist, also the lesser of $75 or 50% of the cost of cutting a new tree pit. 

October 3 - NEIGHBORHOOD CLEAN UP DAY!

Dear Neighbors:

Saturday October 3
NEIGHBORHOOD CLEAN UP DAY
9:00 AM - 1:00 PM

Let's give this neighbor a fall scrub! This clean up day will be run a little differently than typical PMBC clean ups.  Unfortunately, since this clean up is specific to our neighborhood (as opposed to all of South Philly), the Streets Department will not have trucks roaming the neighborhood looking for brown bags on corners.

REMINDER: SOSNA BOARD NOMINATIONS TONIGHT 7:00 PM

Dear Neighbors:

Just a last-minute reminder of tonight's important meeting to nominate your friends or yourself to the SOSNA Board of Directors.  We'll also be looking for volunteers to sit on the Elections Committee which oversees the tallying of votes and announcement of the results.

In addition to nominations, SOSNA will be announcing its brand new initiative, the Street Tree Planting Matching Grant Program, to help encourage you and your fellow neighbors to plant and maintain a street tree outside the house.

2) The park clean up happened last weekend, so there will not be one again this weekend.

Apologies for these errors.
