Sunday, December 16th, Flying Kite and Philly Swap presented a holiday craft market at St. Marks. There was a large number and interesting variety of vendors. The weather was not that great outside but it didn’t stop the constant stream of shoppers all afternoon. You will find the slideshow at this link.
Coming up on Sunday December 16th is the holiday craft market sponsored by Flying Kite on the Ground, the Frankford CDC and Philly Swap. At St. Mark’s Church at 4442 Frankford Avenue from 1:30 to 6:30 PM, there will be something for everyone.
Hello,
Kristy Schneider writing to you all from the Board of the Y.
As you may already know, the New Frankford Community Y (NFCY) has a new team with new ideas. Well, that team recently sat down to discuss the Y and it was decided that since we are trying to make a fresh start, it only makes sense that the Y should also have a new name, slogan, and logo!
Part of our vision for the Y is to have a community place where people can come together with their families, friends, and community members to exercise and be healthy, to learn and discuss, to share and meet, and we think it is only right to say it loud and clear! Therefore, the New Frankford Community Y has now been changed to the Northwood Frankford Community Y. Where Family and Community Come Together (still NFCY).
Just a reminder: We are still looking for donations and for people to get involved!
We are asking you to like the facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/FRANKFORDY and send us an email or call us with questions or concerns.
We are on a slow and steady path. We really need to continue to raise money! Don’t worry, your donation is tax-deductible. On the plus side, we have raised enough funds to have the electric turned back on! So, we are making progress.
We also intend to have a table at the Holiday Craft Fair coming up at St. Mark’s Church on 12/16 and we hope to see you there!
Thanks for reading.
Kristy
Flying Kite Media hit the ground running in Frankford in October and quickly mounted two events at their Frankford headquarters at St. Marks.
Partnering with the Mural Arts project, they cosponsored a community paint day which once again gave residents the opportunity to get their hands on some paint brushes to work on the murals that will be displayed at various locations in Frankford. That was back on November 8th. At the same time, an art exhibition opened. You can follow this link to see the artists and a description of their work.
On November 10th, Flying Kite sponsored the first Frankford Fall Music and Arts Festival. Food, beer music, vendors and art sounds like a winning combination. The crowd far exceeded my expectations and the interesting thing is that they were not residents of Frankford. People from all over the city and beyond trekked to Frankford on a Saturday night to see what was happening here.
You can follow this link for a slideshow of the event. Stay tuned for something equally awesome coming up at St. Marks on December 15th.
