Frankford Civic Association
The Northeast Times projects the agenda for the meeting of the Frankford Civic Association this Thursday.
Developer Vaughan Buckley wants to build 16 rental units at 1710 Pratt St., a few blocks from Frankford Avenue near Duffield Street. Buckley came before the civic association May 7 because he wants members’ OK for a zoning variance he needs to build on the property. The parcel currently is zoned for one structure.
Also at the June 4 session, members expect to hear more about city inspections of neighborhood drug rehabilitation facilities and recovery houses.
Sounds like another meeting that everyone will want to attend.

- LEWIS FAMILY HOSTS ALEX’S LEMONADE STAND DURING LEMONADE DAYS
When-Fri, June 12, 3pm – 6pmWhere-1900 ORTHODOX STREET, PHILADELPHIA, PA 19124 (Lot with Black Walnut Tree upon it) (map)Description-The Lewis family will host their 2nd Annual Alex’s Lemonade Stand as part of the National Lemonade Days weekend on beginning Friday, June 12th, 13th, 14th, 2009 from 3pm-6pm, 1900 Orthodox Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (Frankford Section of the City of Philadelphia). The Lewis family decided to get more involved with the Alex Lemonade Stand after supporting their school’s effort of the Pennsylvania Virtual Charter School in Norristown, PA. The school partnered last year with their curriculum provider K12 and it was an absolute successful collaboration between the two organizations. The Lewis family has never had to face childhood cancer personally however they identify with the severity of family members who fought the battle of cancer. The Lewis’ concluded that they would host a lemonade stand every year to contribute to the battle against childhood cancer. Lemonade Days is a three day national event that grew out of Alexandra “Alex” Scott’s front yard lemonade stand, and is held every year over the same June weekend. During Lemonade Days, dedicated volunteers host thousands of Alex’s Lemonade Stands across the country, raising over $1 million for childhood cancer research in one weekend. June 2009 will mark the 6th Annual Lemonade Days with an estimated 10,000 volunteers at over 2,000 Alex’s Lemonade Stands around the nation. Lemonade Days 2009 is set for June 12th, 13th and 14th. To date, Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation, a registered 501(c)3 charity, has raised more than $25 million towards fulfilling Alex’s dream of finding a cure for all childhood cancer, funding over 100 research projects nationally.
15th Police District Advisory Council Community Day
The 15th PDAC had their community day up at Lincoln High on Rowland Avenue and I got there a bit late. I missed the crowd and only managed to get a little video to show what you missed if you did not stop by. I did connect with my old Friend Jim Ryan of the Friends of Pennypack Park.
