Message from the President
Good evening!
I
am writing to tell you about some changes in CCRA leadership since the
2017 annual meeting at which Wade Albert and Matt Fontana were elected
President and Executive Vice President respectively. In late Fall 2018,
both Wade and Matt resigned, and in December the Board voted that I
assume the remainder of Wade's Presidential term (July 2019). Having
been a CCRA board member for many years, I am excited by the
opportunity to lead CCRA and thank you for your support. I believe
strongly in advancing our mission to "preserve, enhance, and celebrate
urban living" in the community of Center City West.
Not
long ago, CCRA hosted many community events of civic interest, and I
would like to return to that level of engagement. It will not happen
overnight, and it cannot happen without your help. You do not have to be
a CCRA board member to volunteer for the organization. We live in a
very dynamic neighborhood, and staying on top of the issues is
challenging. We especially need help in the area of communications and
event management. I am also looking for an engineer or planner to help
with Streets department coordination. Please contact the office if you
are interested in helping in these capacities.
Thank you,
Maggie Mund,
President

Xmas Tree Recycling Is Back!
Happy holidays, neighbors! I'm pleased
to announce, after a successful pumpkin rescue, Circle Compost's
Christmas tree recycling program. Sign up to have your tree composted
and we will pick them up on January 5th and 12th. They've given joy and
warmth to your home this winter. Now let them create new life to feed
our local soils at our nonprofit urban farm and garden partners. Don't
let the city send them to the landfill with your regular trash. We will
also take your live wreaths. Sign up here.

Help Keep Our Sidewalks Clean
Each year CCRA uses Neighborhood Beautification contributions to
fund a $29,000 contract with the Center City District for sidewalk
cleaning after each weekly trash collection and further to finance our
other aesthetic initiatives - tree planting, historic preservation, the
Schuylkill River Park Community Garden. We would be grateful if you
could contribute a charitable donation to help cover the costs. Click or tap here to donate. If you have already contributed, thank you very much for your generous support.
