Our annual Egg Hunt and Spring Planting will be held on Saturday, March 27 (rain date Sunday, March 28). More details will be available soon. This will be our first coordinated event of the year to further improve the landscaping at Normandy Park. The weather will dictate what and how much we can plant. As the shoots begin showing themselves around your garden, start thinking about what plants you want to thin and donate to the park. Rumor has it that the Easter Bunny will make an appearance as we welcome in spring. |
SABA Monthly Meeting

Our next monthly SABA meeting will be held this Wednesday, March 10 at 7:30. As usual, we will meet at the house at Normandy Park. Turnout for the meetings during the winter was low, which makes sense since it is a quiet time for SABA. Plus, the weather kept many of us hunkered down at home. Now, the snow is finally melting, flower shoots are beginning to sprout up, and we are starting to go outside because we want to, not because we have to shovel snow. This is when SABA activities begin to pick up speed and we are most in need of your energy and enthusiasm. |

Seeking African-American Adoptive Families
Posted by alainfplante (alainfplante) on Thu, 02/11/2010 - 12:51am Tags:|
Dear neighbors, Have you adopted an African-American child? Do you have friends or family in the area (Ardmore, Main Line, or West Philly suburbs) that are an African-American adoptive family? We would love to hear from you! Krista and I are hoping to start an informal lunch and play group for families that have adopted an African-American child. There are plenty of such groups for families that have adopted children from Asia. The idea is to get together and share experiences, challenges and successes, and for the kids to have some fun together. We would love to hear from families with children of all ages, and from multi-racial or African-American families. If interested, please contact Krista at krista_malott at hotmail dot com. If you know someone who might be interested, please make them aware of this announcement. Thanks in advance. |
Plans for Normandy Park
Posted by The Gardner 4 on Tue, 02/09/2010 - 10:02pm Tags:|
Here are some of the plans SABA has for Normandy Park. Your input and additional suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Our longtime volunteer, Bill Davis, died last fall. SABA would like to honor his years of contribution to the neighborhood and to Normandy Park in particular with a memorial at the park. Bill was a quiet, understated man who did a tremendous amount of work for the community without seeking the spotlight of recognition. Our plans are to install a park bench with a memorial plaque and to plant a tree near the bench. You can donate to the funds for this memorial. Simply send a check to SABA (SABA, P.O. Box 772, Ardmore, PA 19003) with "Bill Davis Memorial" on the memo line. Steve Fischer has been investigating options for painting the house at the park. With the new roof and our ongoing landscaping and furniture improvements, painting the house seems like the logical next significant improvement that can be made to the look of the park. |
SABA Volunteers
Posted by The Gardner 4 on Sun, 02/07/2010 - 5:10am Tags:|
As you know, SABA survives and thrives on the generosity of neighbors who volunteer their time and energy. These volunteers have created and continued our many local traditions. Without them, our neighborhood would not be the wonderful place to live that it is. Unfortunately, over the past year, we have lost a number of important volunteers and we are need of finding their replacements. These positions include: President |

Update on Winter newsletter
Posted by The Gardner 4 on Thu, 01/28/2010 - 2:07am Tags:|
SABA publishes a newsletter about the events and activities of the civic association and neighborhood. This newsletter is distributed to every household in the community twice a year. Usually this occurs in the fall and spring. Last year we did not write a newsletter in time for distribution in the fall, Therefore, we are trying to write and distribute one this winter. The content of the newsletter typically includes a review of some recent SABA events, plans for upcoming events, updates on community projects, a list of officers and key volunteers, and information for contacting and donating to SABA. Other articles or submissions are welcome. |

The agenda for the meeting is: 1. Update on Winter newsletter 2. Volunteers needed: 3. Update on plans to paint Normandy Park house 4. Memorial to Bill Davis for Normandy Park: 5. Discuss possibly applying for grant for the park through Fiskars company grant program. Info available at http://www.projectorangethumb.com/. |
