Tomorrow- Cheer! South Street West Shopping Event Friends & Neighbors,  Do you still have holiday shopping to do? What better place to get special and unique gifts than in your own neighborhood! Tomorrow, from 12-5pm, enjoy a day of shopping along South Street West. Shoppers will receive discounts on gifts and wares, and free treats at participating retailers. For the full list of participating retailers, restaurants and deals, click here. Check out the post on uwishunu about the event! SOSNA's Community Impact Committee has two drop off locations for the Warm & Cozy Winter Drive during the Cheer! Shopping event! Drop off new coats, scarves, hats and gloves at The Igloo (2223 Grays Ferry Ave) or The Quick Fixx (1511 South Street) while you are out shopping on Saturday. All donations will go to students at Arthur and Stanton Elementary Schools! Great news! Thanks to our generous supporters, we were able to reach our $5,000 goal for the Carpenter Green matching grant! Thank you to all who helped us get there! We are that much closer to creating the park! Lastly, SOSNA is excited to announce Clean Sweep 2015, a new year recycling event! De-clutter your house after the holidays and bring items to the future site of Carpenter Green (17th & Carpenter). The Carpenter Green Committee will be collecting trees, electronics, paper, and Styrofoam. All items will be recycled responsibly, and all donations will go to creating Carpenter Green! On January 3rd we will be accepting Christmas trees only, then, on January 10th we will be accepting all materials. We are in need of volunteers- if you would like to help, email Abby at abbyrambo@southofsouth.org. Events Cheer! South Street West Shopping Event Shop South Street West for gifts this holiday season!
