LOCATION: Elwell Field--Morris and Ardmore

On Wednesday, July 4th, we'll be holding our annual South Ardmore
Independence Day celebration! Bring your children, nieces, nephews,
grandkids, and of course, your neighbors. Our event begins with a PARADE of
bikes, strollers and wagons decked out in red, white and blue, leaving from
Chestnutwold Elementary at 10am. We will wind our way through the
neighborhood, go up Morris Rd., and end up at Elwell Field,
where kids can compete in the "best-decorated" contest,
and participate in field events and other activities.

This year, we will have a RIBBON-CUTTING Ceremony
to celebrate our new playground structure that was built on June 9th and 10th.

Note that WE DESPERATELY NEED VOLUNTEERS in order for this event to succeed.

Early Progress on the first day. Great Team Work.

As you probably know on June 9/10 our community is coming together to rebuild
The Castle, the beautiful wooden play structure at Elwell Field that was removed two years ago for structural/safety reasons. This improvement to Elwell Field (Ardmore Ave and Morris Road) not only tightens the fabric of our neighborhood, but we hope will also have a positive impact on property values.

SABA has worked extremely hard on the project, including working with the
Township to secure $80,000 for the structure.

BUT, WE CAN'T DO IT WITHOUT YOU!!

We have 35 people or more both days signed up to work from dawn to dusk. They will be laboring with shovels and hammers, working up an appetite and the need for proper hydration. Providing them with food is a significant expense.

Can you make a donation to SABA to cover:
$200 - a day's worth of hoagies
$100 - a day's worth of water and ice
$50 - a day's worth of gatorade
$50 - a day's worth of coffee

Help BUILD “The Castle” at Elwell Field
We Need People and Tools!

When: June 9 & 10 (sat/sun)
Where: Elwell Field (Ardmore Ave & Morris Rd)
How: Contact ElwellVols@comcast.net to sign up ASAP

Looking for:
• Shovelers and heavy lifters
• Team leaders (construction experience preferred)
• General helpers

(The build will be coordinated by professionals from Designed For Fun)

Hola Amigos!

Celebrate Cinco de Mayo by participating in our annual neighborhood yard sale on Saturday, May 5 from 8:00 am to 12:00 noon. This is concurrent with Merwood Civic Association's Garage Sale.

As in the past, everyone is welcome to participate.
You may sell from your house or from Normandy Park.

We will advertise the sale and will post a list of participating addresses
on the SABA website (www.sabanews.org). This list will be available to shoppers so that they will know the houses in the neighborhood to go to.

Addresses can be found on this link to a google map:

If you would like to participate, please tell me if you plan to sell from the park or your home. If you are selling from your home, please give me your address so that we can include it on the list.

"Buena suerte" with the yard sale! Adios, Amigos!
