Position open
Dear Highland Park Resident,
Welcome. On behalf of our neighborhood association, I want to welcome you to the Highland Park neighborhood.
If you are new to the area, I’d like you to know that you’ve chosen an excellent neighborhood. Our neighborhood is large. Nearly 9,000 people live within our boundaries -- so we’re almost a small town.
Our
Schools and ... We have four excellent elementary schools --
Cattell, Finley, Madison, and Oak Park -- along with Harding Middle School
and North High School within or adjacent to our boundaries. Our
shopping village at Sixth and Euclid Avenues recently underwent a $1.2
million streetscape project and Park Fair Mall was Iowa’s
first enclosed shopping mall. Our neighborhood is home to an amazing
variety of large and small businesses, clubs, fraternal groups, and
churches.
Meetings and Events. Our association meets every month
to:
Plan events,
Discuss neighborhood concerns, and
Hear from our elected officials and city department heads.
Each year we participate in a city-wide volunteer program by pitching in
to fix up a home in our neighborhood. We also sponsor an Annual
Scrub Day to provide residents an opportunity to dispose of large unwanted
items, such as tires and brush, at no charge. Each December, we host
a neighborhood celebration and craft sale at Park Fair Mall.
Meet Your Neighbors. You are invited to attend all of our meetings. We hold them the second Tuesday of the month in the Senior Center in the lower level of Park Fair Mall, Second and Euclid. Your $5 annual dues entitle you to:
Vote at our meetings,
Receive our quarterly newsletter, and
Bask in the satisfaction of knowing that you and your hundreds of
neighbors are working to make our neighborhood and city a better place to
live.
If our association can be of use to you, don’t hesitate to call or write.
John
Morrissey
President, HPCCA
