Spring Scout Bottle Drive

The North Park Scout Troup is having a bottle drive on April 27th.  From Scout leader Don Cook:

On Saturday April 27 the 6th North Park Scout Group will be holding their annual spring bottle drive in the North Park, City Park and Richmond Heights neighborhoods. Like in past years, residents can leave their refundable beverage containers in boxes or bags on their front step for our group to collect. Beavers, Cubs and Scouts will begin collection at 9AM. So as not to disturb residents, we no longer ring door bells but rather just collect what is left out for us.

Visual Artist Hired

Bevan Bradley has been commissioned to install a mural on the 7th Avenue overpass. Bevan is a resident of City Park as well as owner of The Stall Gallery in Riversdale. She has created many murals around the city such as the mural under the Circle Park bridge. We are excited to have Bevan on our team.

Scottish Highland Dancers Receive New Kilts

The City Park Community Association regularly provides Scottish Highland Dancing lessons. Recently new kilts were purchased so that the classes can continue.

Claude Hutton is one of the those who are delighted with the new threads.

“I want to thank the board of CPCA for its generosity.  We have given a great deal of satisfaction to many children and parents over the years.  The current class of dancers will be thrilled to perform in public with the new matching kilt outfits.  Please extend to your entire board as well as the citizens of City Park my sincere thanks.”  Hutton said in an email to the CPCA board.
Scottish highland dancing are a regular part of CPCA community programs.
