CTCA TIPS: October 2007
October’s Meeting: Thursday, October, 4th. @ 7:00pm at Heather Kenny’s house at 2721 Beacon Drive *********** Please note that due to the changes at the township building, the monthly meetings will be at individual’s homes. Please check back as to their locations.
VOLUNTEER NEEDED FOR SANTA RUN:
We need a volunteer to chair the annual "Santa Run". CTCA provides the decorations, money for the treats and gas. Please volunteer if you have access to a pick-up truck. If no one volunteers, this event will be cancelled. It will be a pity, if Santa can't bring good cheer to our children this year. If interested call Bev Piscitelli at 610-670-1009 or email [email protected]. I need a response by October 27th.

SAFETY
ALERT:
Please
be aware, especially if you have school aged children walking to
Cornwall Terrace on Avon Ave., that there have been several reported
incidents of dog attacks. There have been reports of at least
two biting incidents and the police are involved. We are
planning on attending a township meeting on October 9th at 7:30 pm at the township building regarding this safety issue
and hope you will be able to join us. We will also be looking
to provide our community with educational information regarding
animal safety in future TIPS issues.

THANKSGIVING DAY BASKETS 2007 :
Autumn brings the harvest, and that makes thankful hearts. Cornwall Terrace Community Association will again coordinate the collection and delivery of “Thanksgiving Day Baskets” to needy families in our local area. This is a wonderful way to “love our neighbor,” building bridges with compassion as we all cope with security issues near and far. There is no better way to express our thankfulness than by giving to those who have not been as fortunate this year.
Last year, C.T.C.A. was able to give 30 families an entire turkey dinner due to your kind donations! With the help of our Block Captains, we will be asking each home to donate a specific food item plus $2.00 toward the purchase of the turkeys. The list of specific food items and where/when to drop them off will be in the November issue of the TIPS. Anyone who can donate copier paper boxes (with tops), please give me a call now!
Thank you for your generosity!
