Neighborhood Public Concerns
Another Suspicious Person Spotted. Be alert!
Dog Attack between Delancey and Pine
Earlier this week, a 3-month
old puppy, was attacked and killed on 21st Street between Delancey and
Pine Streets by a pitbull being walked by a dog walker. If you are
walking your pup, make sure you pick it up if you spot a bigger dog. If
you're walking a bigger dog, be careful if you see any smaller dogs in
your vicinity. Please
be mindful so a horrific tragedy like this does not happen again. If a
dog attacks you or your pet, call the police immediately and contact Animal Control.
If you are concerned about what's going on in our neighborhood, come talk to CCRA representatives at the Schuylkill River Park Fall Festival on October 19. Philadelphia Police Captain Michael Hooven and Officer Jesse O'Shea will join us from 11 am to 1 pm. They will be there to answer residents' questions and learn about your concerns. Please be sure to stop by and say hi.

The Silver Binder Presentation: Organize Your Personal Information for Safe Keeping
William Penn House, 1919 Chestnut, Community Room, 1st Fl, Tuesday, 10/15, 2 PM
Where
are your important documents such as insurance policies, the deed to
your home, bank and investment statements? Who will take care of your
pet if you have an emergency? Who will take care of you? Mario
Oropeza, a Penn's Village volunteer, developed this workshop to get you
started on what may seem like an intimidating task: organizing the
vital details about your legal, health, and financial affairs as well as
important contacts. A binder will be available at the workshop with
forms which will enable you to document everything your family and
friends need to know.
The
cost of the binder is $35 for Penn's Village members and volunteers; $45
for other guests (cash or checks only please) and includes a digital
version of the forms. Guests are welcome to attend three Penn's Village
programs at $10 per program before becoming a member and/or volunteer.
The guest cost for this program is included in the cost of the binder.

Exhibition: Spit Spreads Death - The Influenza Pandemic of 1918-19 in Philadelphia
Opening October 17 at the Mutter Museum
A century ago, a worldwide health
disaster hit home. The influenza pandemic of 1918-19, the global
epidemic often called the "Spanish flu," killed 50 to 100 million people
worldwide. Here in Philadelphia, the Liberty Loan Parade, a patriotic
wartime effort on September 28, 1918, helped to spread the disease.
Soon, the city was in crisis. Hospitals overflowed and bodies piled up
in morgues. Philadelphia had the highest death rate of any major
American city during the pandemic.More than 12,000 people died in six
weeks; over 20,000 died in six months. Visit here for more info.
