Adopt a Flower Bed Program - Tuesday, June 09, 2009
Have you ever wanted to get more involved in the neighborhood but didn't have a lot of time to commit? Do you love all of the new plants and flowers in our park? Want to know how to bring those two things together? The LPCA Parks and Beautification Committee has launched an Adopt a Flower Bed program. Take a look at our diagram and choose any bed you like. As a bed caretaker, you will be responsible for keeping the bed weeded and looking nice. We will also hold two "spruce up" days a year for more labor intensive maintenance.

2008 and 2009 Budgets - Tuesday, January 20, 2009
President’s Message
On Thursday, May 13, Charlie Newcomb, a member of the Locust Point Civic Association Board of Directors and chair of the Parks & Beautification Committee, passed away at his home on Cooksie Street. Charlie’s son Chad and Jack Frederick, his partner and fellow Board Member, were at his side.

On Saturday, May 15, a celebration was held in Latrobe Park near the new rose garden that was created to commemorate Charlie’s contributions to the park and to the community as a whole. In an overwhelming testament to the effect that Charlie had on the neighborhood, several dozen neighbors gathered, including Councilman Ed Reisinger and Delegates Brian McHale and Pete Hammen, to celebrate Charlie’s life by sharing interesting and humorous stories and by simply enjoying the park that Charlie worked so diligently to beautify. Stop by and enjoy Charlie’s rose garden near the front steps to the park and please keep Charlie, Chad and Jack in your thoughts and prayers.

Congratulations go to Dawn Bruce for her recent election to the Board of Directors of the Civic Association. For the last several years, Dawn has gone out of her way to volunteer her time and contribute to Civic Association activities, including participating on the Social Committee, chipping in on park plantings and cleanups, and helping make the krusctikis for the festival. Dawn’s unanimous election was well-deserved and we all look forward to having her on the Board!

I look forward to seeing you all in June!
