Esperanza Project

Tenth member Ted Voboril, who works at Esperanza sent this in:

This summer, Esperanza Health Center's Dental Team will conduct a dental health outreach project in our North Philadelphia community. The team, led by dental assistants Calvin Hoops and Taina Vazquez, will teach classes throughout the community on dental care and oral hygiene, and will also conduct oral health screenings and take x-rays. This will be a great opportunity for Esperanza to reach out to many who lack access to basic dental care.

Here's where I am asking for your help: Esperanza is currently seeking a grant from Tom's of Maine to support our summer dental health outreach project. The winners will be determined by online public voting, and the five projects that receive the most votes will receive a grant of $20,000. I would appreciate it if you could take a minute out of your busy day to click on the link below and cast your vote.(In fact, you can vote for Esperanza each day until the voting ends on March 12!)
Vote for Esperanza!

Parking Conditions

I'm looking out my office onto 17th Street and the snow is still covering the curb. So be prepared to have similar parking conditions on Sunday. Don't forget you have the parking garage on South Street between 18th and 17th for $5 with a stamped ticket. I think I paid a couple of months ago $6 at the corner lot of 17th & Pine, also needing a stamped ticket. Here's the link at the church website that gives all the parking information, including parking lots.

Computer Need

Marion,

We have a CCA student badly in need of a computer. The student and his family wish to remain anonymous, but can we (you) put something on your blog asking for anyone who can part with a functioning computer to help a CCA kid? They can contact me (or Melissa Clemens) at the school. Thanx!

On-line Hymnal

So, you watching the live webcast of the worship service and you want to sing the hymns, but, you can't find your copy of the Trinity Hymnal or you didn't bring it with you on your trip. No problem! You go to this link and, voila! there's the hymnal on-line (well, just the words, but you already know the tunes). Thanks to Bob Kempf who sent in this tip.

Is That a Firetruck Coming?

I've learned a little bit more about Sunday parking problems. A firetruck was trying to get by and was blocked by cars. All the more reason to follow the "if I can't see the curb, then I don't park" rule. We'll park, seeing that cars can get by, but we have to think of the worse scenario - like a fire truck! Hopefully, we'll see more curb on Sunday and this won't be a problem.

No Snow Parking

If you did not park on the street Sunday, you were wise. Those who did were ticketed. The measure to go by is: If you cannot see the curbside, you should not park. We have permission to park when streets are clear, but not when snow is on the streets.
