2020 Meeting Dates Announced

Share Your Ideas for 2020 Meeting Topics

At our 2020 Civic Association meetings, we'd like to feature guest speakers or special, LOCAL topics. We've done this in the past (historical buildings, skate park update, etc.) with great feedback. Do you have an idea for a local topic for us to cover in 2020? Please share your thoughts - email Kate Stickel.

2019 Egg Hunt Now Scheduled for April 7!

A great Hilltop tradition – join us for an egg hunt, crafts, games, raffles & door prizes, a visit by the fire company engines, and (of course) the Easter Bunny! This event is for Hilltop Civic Association members and their families only – so make sure you are a member of our group! You must RSVP using the Eventbrite site to be on the list. And you must be a Hilltop Civic Association Member - but we will make that easy! A few ways to join and send in your $10 membership fee:

This event is rain or shine! (If it rains, we will be in the fire hall.) Please remember that the party begins at 12:30; that is not when the hunt will kick off. Your patience is appreciated.

Blessing Bag Party – Thursday, May 24

Join your neighbors on Thursday, May 24 as our community comes together to make “Angels in Motion” blessing bags. The bags will be given to an organization to distribute to the homeless and addicted.   What you can do: Come to Bon Air Fire Company on Thursday, May 24 at 7 p.m.   What to bring: Yourself! And if you could help us out by bringing ANY of the following supplies as a donation, even better:

• Gallon-size plastic bags (Ziploc style)
• Pop tarts
• Drink boxes, capri suns, yoo hoo, kool aid, etc.
• Single-serve apple sauces
• Single-serve pudding
• Single-serve fruit cups
• Candy (no chocolate!)
• Cereal bars (i.e. Nutri Grain bars)
• Granola bars
• Gum
• Peanuts
• Single servings of peanut butter or Nutella
• Crackers
• Cookies
• Cheese-Its
• Mints
• Pretzels
• Rice krispie treats
• Chips
• Most importantly: a note of encouragement
• Also needed: 18” plastic bags with handles. Can be purchased at A.C. Moore, HomeGoods for $1.

  Angels in Motion started with one woman’s efforts to rescue her child from the disease of addiction. While searching the streets of Kensington (a neighborhood in Philadelphia), for her son, Carol Rostucher saw that many other children and loved ones were suffering and lost as well. Carol began to open her heart to the streets and spread her love where it was needed the most. Her efforts included treating each person as an individual and offering her genuine compassion and understanding, and providing “blessing bags” which contain food, snacks, clothing, hygiene products and resource information to obtain help when they are ready. For more information on this project or organization, visit aimangelsinmotion.org.  

2018 Meeting Dates

We hope to see you at our 2018 meetings! If you have a topic you'd like us to cover (even with a guest speaker) please let us know!

All meetings are held at Bon Air FIre Company.

 

Our History: Historical Properties in Our Neighborhood

This Thursday, January 25 at 7 p.m., the Hilltop Civic Association is thrilled to host Terry Dougherty, president of the Haverford Historical Society. Terry will be sharing insights and stories about a number of local historic properties, including the Original Manoa School. The school, located at 510 South Eagle Road, is now being remodeled as a home. Terry will also share stories about other historical properties right in our neighborhood! This will be a fun gathering and a good chance to connect with your neighbors - we hope to see you there!  

CANCELLED: TRUNK or TREAT October 28

With our apologies, we must cancel this weekend's trunk or treat event.   Old post: Join your neighbors for our second annual TRUNK or TREAT on October 28! We will begin the evening at 5 p.m. with a costume parade from Hope United Methodist's parking lot (corner of Eagle and Steel Roads) and head towards Bon Air Fire Company. Once there, we'll enjoy some tricks and some treats - enjoying the decorations, snacks, activities and more. Interested in being one of our "trunks"? Send a note to Amy Clevens (clevens5@verizon.net)!
