Facility Improvements Completed
We would like to thank everyone for your patience last week as several flooring projects were recently completed.
The court of the Dunlap Family Gymnasium has been resurfaced and the Nancy Ann Taylor Dance Studio received a new, multi-purpose floor.
Thanks to your continued support, we’re able to keep the facility fresh and looking new.

The Fox Chapel Garden Club is looking for community members to help them collect 25 pairs of gently worn, used and new shoes in the next 4 weeks.
Check your closets and gather pairs of shoes that you’ve out grown, are out of style, or out of season. Please ask your neighbors and/or co-workers to do the same. These shoes will help individuals in developing nations like Ghana, Haiti and Cambodia.
Shoes can be dropped off at the Lauri Ann West Community Center or the Hoboken Presbyterian Church located at 921 North Avenue in Blawnox.
