We are planning a clean-up on the 2000 and 2100 blocks of Snyder Avenue on Monday, June 28 at 6:30pm and we need your help! This clean-up will also include the vacant lot at 20th & Snyder that is always in need of a good cleaning. This is not a designated clean-up day by the city so there will not be any supplies provided. Please bring your own broom and bags. We can provide gloves if needed.

We will meet at 20th & Snyder at 6:30pm. Please come and support the cleaning efforts!! Thanks!

WPPNA has dropped a 'P' from its name to be West Passyunk Neighbors Association or WPNA. We also changed our blog name to westpassyunk.blogspot.com. We feel the name is more focused on our mission and easier to read, say and understand. Check out our new logo above designed by Andrew Pinkham!
