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. The Fiskars company is once again offering a grant for neighborhood/community improvements. The work we do at Normandy Park could qualify for this grant. Info available at http://www.projectorangethumb.com/. Unfortunately, the deadline for submitting an application is Feb 19, 2010. If we are to apply for this, we will need someone to take the lead with completing and electronically submitting the application. Upcoming events for the park include the Spring Planting Event and the Egg Hunt. We will need to select dates for these events and to plan what we want to include in them. |

Remember we need to go in
Remember we need to go in front of the Haverford Township Park Board to satisfy the new policy.
I hope we can put together
I hope we can put together the details of our plans and then submit them to the township. Of course, we might have to maintain some flexibility based on what the board says. The one big issue might be placing a plaque on the bench but we can find out the parameters that are acceptable to the township.
