This kind of message never fails to frustrate. It presumes that anyone who will help will drive there in their car.

FREE FOOD will be available all day, thanks to Hunting Park Assn. Neighbors are gathering to clean the lot at 4300 Lawrence Street of trash (one block east of 5th St, at Bristol). http://www.temple.edu/MURL/group01.htm<http://www.temple.edu/MURL/group01.htm> Can anyone get a fruit tree and/or berry bush from Greensgrow? You'll be reimbursed.

Some years ago, 996 houses were demolished because Wingohocking Creek below them was undermining foundations. There's a proposal for a shopping mall on part of this unstable land, but there's room for more constructive use. http://www.philaplanning.org/plans/areaplans/loganrap.pdf<http://www.philaplanning.org/plans/areaplans/loganrap.pdf> The PA IPM newsletter has a story about POP: http://paipm.cas.psu.edu/NewsReleases/phillyorchard.html<http://paipm.cas.psu.edu/NewsReleases/phillyorchard.html> You may have seen City Paper's story about POP. Well-written, but with a gargoyle photo of me. That's a risk with publicity. Your suggestions for wheelchair-accessible meeting places, organizations to contact, land to plant are all welcome. http://www.healthdemocracy.org/pop.html<http://www.healthdemocracy.org/pop.html> Paul ____ Paul Glover (215) 805-8330 http://www.paulglover.org<http://www.paulglover.org/> ____________________________________________________________________________________ Need Mail bonding?
