New Links

We have added a couple of new links to the Blogroll over there on the left side of the page.  The news of the new building for Frankford Friends is being blogged at their own site.  You can keep up with the developments as they happen.  Click on Frankford Friends new building or follow this link to get a look.

Also Thanks to Tim Wisniewski, we got notice of the PSA1 meeting held last night.  I haven’t been doing my job of monitoring the 15th district web site where they have the schedule of community meetings or I would have posted it earlier.  So click on PPD 15th district or follow this link to get the most current information on any and all public meetings.
