First Fridays! |
| Porch parties are back on track. We will be
having them year round once a month on the first Friday of every month.

hosted by Jon & Gail at 505 E. Park Ave.
Click here to see the porch party schedule
If you are interested in hosting a porch party Please sign
up via email to Monika Schuler at
remy@ij.net,
or at the next civic association meeting.
All residents of Tampa Heights are welcome to this unique
on-going tradition of Tampa Heights. Children are residents too and are
most certainly welcome but please keep an eye on them at guests homes.
The host provides paper goods, sodas, ice, a covered dish
and of course the porch. Guests bring a covered dish (with any serving
utensils) and own alcoholic beverages.

| Neighborhood
Yard Sale |
In
October the
Tampa Heights Civic Association
will be sponsoring a Neighborhood
wide Yard Sale. We will advertise
this in the local papers and have a
posting on our Web Site. What we are
in need of are residents who are
interested in participating. We will
print up maps of all the addresses
of residents who will be
participating so that your address
will not be missed. The more
participation we have the greater
your traffic to sell your yard sale
items.
If you
are interested, please email
We will
provide more information as we get
closer.
Thanks

blue recycling boxes. Matt drove down to the Solid Waste Dept.
(located on Spruce St., just East of Lois Ave. about a block west of Home
Depot) and picked up 8 blue boxes, if you would like one,
just email him.
Or you can Call the Solid Waste Dept at (813) 348-1111 ext 2.
