HEC May General Meeting

Tuesday May 8, 2012  7:30 p.m.

Hawthorne Cultural Center, 12th & Carpenter

Hawthorne Park Needs You!!!

Hawthorne’s new Park at the corner of 12th & Catherine Streets will be completed and open to the Community late this Spring. Hawthorne Empowerment Coalition is forming a Friends of Hawthorne Park group to support the Park and help keep it a vibrant and safe venue for Community activities and Community enjoyment.

We need Hawthorne residents and friends to:

• Organize concerts, movie nights, dance/theater and other events in the Park’s performance space
• Join our ParkWatch group to monitor the Park to help maintain safety and security
• Participate in Park cleanup
• Tend the Park’s flower beds reserved for the Community
• Develop educational activities for neighborhood kids
• Think of ways to keep the park a beautiful resource for Hawthorne

To join the Friends of Hawthorne Park, email HEC at info@hecphilly.org. Please include your contact information – name, address, and email address or telephone number – and a brief description of your interest in the Park and how you would like to help make it a success. Or call HEC at (215) 735-1225 and leave a message. HEC will contact you when we are ready for the first Friends meeting later this Spring.

Blue Books:  In an attempt to better serve the community, officers on 3rd District patrol will now have access to "Blue Book Enhanced Patrol" which provides multiple facets of information.  Should an officer be asked the location of a bank, school, office building, etc., in District 3, he or she will have that information readily available to use in response.
 
Video Surveillance Cameras:  All cameras except the camera at 13th & Catharine are now in working order.
 
DA Rep:  Our PDAC has been left without a resident district attorney since Rachel was called to active duty overseas.  We have been promised a replacement, but no word on the matter has been received as yet.
 
The Tennis Court at the Hawthorne Cultural Center Will Reopen In Early 2012- Stay Tuned
