Sign petition to show your support for Apple Lofts on 52nd Street

The CPN Board and CPN Zoning Committee have launched a petition in support of the Apple Lofts development project at 780 S. 52nd St.  Although there have been several community meetings on this issue, we feel that the voices of neighbors in  support of the project have not been heard in these meetings.

We usually do not use a petition strategy.  However, this is an important development opportunity affecting our community.  We feel that our Councilwoman needs to know the level of support that exists.

We invite you to help us collect signatures in support.  You can print the attached petition and return by Friday, February 24th to CPN at the address noted.  Note that we are asking for signers who live within the Cedar Park boundaries (46th -52nd, Larchwood Ave. - Kingsessing Ave east of the railroad and/or 52nd - 54th Sts, Cedar Ave. - Springfield Ave.)

The on-line petition is available by clicking here.

A paper petition that you can download, print, sign, and circulate is available by clicking here.

Congratulations, Monica!

Monica Allison, CPN president, was awarded the University of Pennsylvania's 2012 Martin Luther King, Jr. Community Involvement Recognition Award, at a beautiful Interfaith Ceremony this evening.
The Award is given to someone for their involvement and contributions to building community in one or more of the following ways:
-         Promoting nonviolence
-         Combining religious beliefs with positive social action
-         Working toward racial equality and harmony
-         Advocating for/working with disenfranchised people
We can think of no one more deserving than this award than our very own Monica Allison.  Congratulations, Monica!
