Get your Tickets for the NLNA Winterfest!
Ready to bowl again for the neighborhood? It's time for the annual NLNA Winterfest. Each ticket gets you free food, drinks, and bowling, and proceeds benefit programs of the NLNA.
Adults 18-64 get in for $20; seniors and teens are only $10; and kids under 11 get in free! Tickets are $5 more at the door, so be sure to get yours now! Call the NLNA office, 215-627-6562; or email Barbara Saverino, basaverino@yahoo.com.
Drop Off Your E-Waste in Northern Liberties
From the NLNA: Bring all your electronic junk - TVs, computers, toasters, printers, window AC unites - if it has a circuit board, we can probably take it!
A small bunch of stuff that fits in one of our milk crates crates costs just $2 to recycle. A larger bunch or a large item costs just $5. In most cases this means it'll cost less than ever to responsibly recycle your stuff.
All Work, then Play: Liberty Lands Fall Cleanup and Potluck
All year round we play in Liberty Lands Park. Now it's time to get to work!
Don't miss Liberty Lands Work Day this Saturday, October 15th. Pitch in and bring a potluck dish, meet your neighbors, and make your neighborhood-run park even better. No RSVP necessary - just show up! If you have questions, contact Liz Reed at earead@yahoo.com or 215-627-0110.
2nd Street Cleanup: Results!
We want to thank everyone who showed up on Saturday for the 2nd Street Cleanup and donated their time and energy into giving 2nd Street from Fairmount to Poplar a much-needed facelift. We also want to thank Liberties Parcel for donating the fantastic signs for the event and Green Eggs Cafe for passing around delicious iced tea relief to the volunteers. Thanks to the NLNA for the brooms, gloves, and other supplies for the cleanup. Together we made quick work of the litter, weeds, cigarette butts, and debris lining the streets and filled every single trash bag! Just check out the pile of trash we removed from 2nd Street - nice haul and great work, everyone!
It was also good to see how many residents and owners thanked us and inquired about what we were doing - we will keep you posted on future cleanup efforts if you would like to be involved!

Putting Our Muscle Where Our Mouth Is
Giving Back to the Northern Liberties Neighborhood Association
Giving Back to the Northern Liberties Neighbors Association
First off, I must say I am very happy to be writing this blog. Business has been good to us and of course we have worked very hard to achieve that. But more importantly, we feel that it is important to give back to the community. We have been residents in Northern Liberties since 2005 and our office is in Northern Liberties now as well.
Thus, we recently implemented a new program where for every settlement we have in Northern Liberties, for every buyer and seller, we will donate 5 percent of the commissions earned to the Northern Liberties Neighbors Association (NLNA) .
As of this week, we have already donated over $750 to the NLNA.
If you are thinking about buying or selling in Northern Liberties and you are on the same page as us in terms of the importance of giving back to the community, feel free to call or email us to help achieve your goals !
We love Northern Liberties as it has a special place in our heart and take pride in our personal program in giving back to the neighborhood.
Caught on Camera: NLNA Winterfest 2011 at North Bowl

We are so proud to be part of such a vibrant neighborhood. The organizers did a fantastic job and North Bowl's staff and participants were awesome as usual. Here's a quick peek:

Super Bowl? How about North Bowl? The Annual NLNA Winter Holiday Party.
The Northern Liberties Neighbors Association is known for always waiting until long after the holidays to have their annual fundraising party...and you gotta love 'em for that. When it's dead of winter outside and there's not much going on, a party with friends and locals is just the thing to get you out of the house with the bonus of raising money for your neighborhood.
We showed off our bowling skills at last year's event at North Bowl and are happy to see that the NLNA is taking it back to the lanes again this year. We hope to see you there!
Sunday, February 13, 2011, 2:00 to 5:00 PM
Hosted by North Bowl, 909 North 2nd Street
Adults $20 (advance) /$25 at the door

Northern Liberties Watch: December 9th’s NLNA Meeting
In case you missed last night's Northern Liberties Neighbors Association meeting, we stopped by to find out what's new, be it a concern or an inspiration, in the neighborhood. The house was packed, as always, with the friendly faces of the neighborhood.
- Northern Liberties 2011 Calendars are still available and make great gifts.
- Orianna Hill Dog Park will be Treecycling this year. As you may know, Christmas trees are currently not recycled by the city of Philadelphia, so make sure you remove all of the decorations and drop your tree off with a $5 donation at Orianna Hill so that your tree does not end up in a landfill.
- Theresa Marley and Angel Flores both spoke about how to get involved with the DA’s Action Center at the Piazza. Click on the photo at left for email and phone numbers.
- Katrina Mansfield from the Northern Liberties Townwatch encouraged neighbors to sign up for patrol and to discuss security cameras. For more information on how to get involved, you can contact Mansfield at townwatch [at] nlna.org
- The Daskal Family (of North Bowl) received a Community Service Award from NLNA for their efforts in planting trees and improving the neighborhood. North Bowl is an amazing neighborhood entertainment venue and it was great to see the Daskals honored for giving back to the community.
Until next month!

Update on Spring Garden Greenway Project
You can read about the Spring Garden Greenway Project over at DIGSAU's site, the beautification project that aims to turn the Spring Garden SEPTA station and underpass into a pedestrian promenade with street plantings, better lighting, and art installations. We're happy to know that the first step in this undertaking is already set for May 22. The Northern Liberties Neighbors Associations will plant 55 trees along the Spring Garden corridor, but they need some volunteers. If you'd like to have a hand in making the gateway to Northern Liberties a little greener, email Erika Goldberg, bgoldewag@verizon.net (or matt@nlna.org). The team will begin by digging holes on May 21.
