Though the UnLitter Us Campaign "isn’t your mother’s anti-litter initiative," explained Streets Commissioner Clarena Tolson over a phone interview. Launched on March 27th, at this year’s 65th annual Block Captains’ Rally, the UnLitter US initiative is the first sustained public service campaign to rid our City of litter once and for all, explained Tolson.

Okay, so it is not our side of Passyunk Avenue that is getting so much attention lately, but we are getting really, really close! Check out this New York Times article that calls East Passyunk shopping 'impressive': http://travel.nytimes.com/2010/03/28/travel/28surfacing-1.html

Be sure to fill out and send your 2010 Census form as soon as you receive it in the mail!

Census information affects the numbers of seats our state occupies in the U.S. House of Representatives. And people from many walks of life use census data to advocate for causes, rescue disaster victims, prevent diseases, research markets, locate pools of skilled workers and more.

At our February meeting, the group decided to change our monthly meetings to quarterly meetings. A new meeting schedule will be announced and posted very soon. Stay Tuned!
