Mayfair Fallen Heroes Run Sponsorship Solicitation Letter

***TEXT OF LETTER***

Tuesday March 27, 2012

Re: Mayfair Fallen Heroes Run

Dear Potential Sponsor:

Please accept this as a thank you for your continued commitment to our neighborhood and our causes; as you know, the Mayfair Fallen Heroes Run, has become one of the preeminent races in Northeast Philadelphia and serves as the kick off to a great day for our community. Every year we honor a different Police officer or Firefighter that gave the ultimate sacrifice by dying in the line of duty and this year is no different as we have selected fallen Firefighter and Northeast native Joseph Konrad. This event gives us the opportunity to honor and recognize the commitment of Konrad and his family by donating in his honor to the Hero Thrill Show, which provides for the education of families of fallen officers, to pay for the plaque that will be dedicated in his honor and to further help to rebuild the Mayfair Memorial Playground which was laid in recognition of fallen Firefighter John Redmond and will house a Badge of Honor for each year’s honoree. Nevertheless, your continued support is pertinent to aiding our efforts and we hope you chose to donate again. Please see the enclosed sponsorship form for your contribution and feel free to contact me with any questions.

Sincerely Yours,

Joseph J. DeFelice, Esq,

President

Another Satisfied Neighbor Thanks Us

Hello Joe,
Just when I basically forgot about (actually, given up on) the stop sign at Craig and Hartel, Bam! There it was... My family and I were heading to the chiropractor early on Saturday morning, and when my husband was turning from Craig onto Hartel, I grabbed his arm and screamed, "A stop sign!" -- he was so mad at me because he thought I was yelling at him telling him how to drive, lol... Then I had to explain myself - "No, look, there's a stop sign here!!!" -- he was so excited (but not as much as I was, apparently!).

So I wanted to say a HUGE thank you to you and your team for this....I just don't know how else to express my appreciation for you help with my neighbor's house and now this.... If there is anything I can do, please don't hesitate to ask!!! Thank you thank you thank you!!!

Signed A neighbor

***Editor's Note - Both councilman Henon (and his predecessor Councilwoman Krajewski) and Representative Boyle were instrumental in rectifying these issues eg the Councilpeople handled the neighbor and the Representative handled the stop sign. We simply acted as a conduit and advocate.

An email from an appreciative neighbor

I just want to thank you for the wonderful job you guys are doing in making sure our community stays nice and safe. Mayfair is a beautiful place to live. The issues regarding the sink hole and the drain have been corrected. I was very happy with the quick response once you sent it to the councilman's office. Those issues were like that for years. When you walk though the streets and see things in good repair, you feel like this a community who cares.

Keep up the good work.
Thanks again,

A neighbor

Shamrock Shuttle Update

Shamrock Shuttle was held the weekend of 3/3. This year the MCA was very proactive in holding meetings with the bar owners, the 15^th police district, and other businesses in the months leading up to the shuttle. The Mayfair Town Watch and other neighborhood volunteers helped to secure the areas surrounding the participating bars and patrolled the side streets and alleyways. There were minimal incidents and no calls of complaint regarding quality of life issues came in to the MCA.

Residential Cameras

Zoning

Zoning for a proposed Laundromat at 2847-2849 Tyson (former site of Wawa), Applicant Tom Chan purchased the site of the old Wawa with a Restrictive Deed; certain types of stores are not allowed (i.e food stores, coffee, auto parts etc). Applicant proposes a self-service laundromat where there will be an attendant at all times during business hours. 6am to 1am, 7 days a week. Most business is anticipated to come from drop-off service. A swipe card system will be required of customers for usage of machines and minimal cash will be on premises. Swipe card would be used to access the bathrooms as well to discourage loitering. Cameras and proper lighting will be installed all around the property. There will be fifty-six (56) washing machines and twenty-six (26) double stack dryers. Concerns from the neighbors regarding safety, security, loitering and the fact that there are numerous laundromats already established or being built within a 1 mile radius were expressed. Also expressed was the concern of the non-neighborhood clientele attracted to this business, as most homes in Mayfair already have a washer and dryer. A vote was taken with the majority approving reliant on a proof of purchase from the applicants, but with very strict provisos on the business to be determined. Not Opposed, with Provisions

Zoning to add a trailer at Mayfair School--erection of a temporary one story trailer 12 foot x 56 foot to relieve some overcrowding problems at Mayfair School. Adding the trailer will help in trying to keep class size under thirty (30). Presentation by Mr. Fox, Philadelphia School District representative, Thomas Schweiker, PSD architect, and Bobbi Besdon, principal of Mayfair School. Vote to approve zoning with detailed provisos to be determined. Not Opposed, with Provisions

Zoning for a proposed fine tobacco store at the old Jim's Pretzels/Councilman Bobby Henon's Primary Office location at Englewood and Frankford 7221-7223 Frankford—Applicant for JJ's Smoke Shop wishes to open a fine cigar shop with two (2) roll your own cigar and cigarette machines and loose tobacco. Applicant also wishes to sell cigars and humidor boxes, candy, chips, pretzels, soda, water, and other novelties specified by the applicant as cigar cutters, lighters, etc.. He asserts that he will not sell water pipes and hookahs. Hours of operation will be 8am to 10pm. Concerns were expressed by neighbors regarding the sale of perceived "convenience store" items, low grade cigars (Philly Blunts), and rolling papers along with the cigars as well as loitering around the store. Not Opposed, with Provisions

Updated Zoning Re: Carpet Cleaning Company at 3256 Friendship--Applicants Ann and Maros Pittaoulis. Property is not currently zoned for commercial. There is currently a carpet cleaning business on the first floor attached to a residential duplex. Dave is the renter and owner of the carpet cleaning company. Neighbors have issues with signage, advertising and access to the shared driveway and claim that when they have approached employees regarding these issues they have experienced resistance. Applicant will explore options for zoning further and current occupant has stated he will leave the location. Opposed

Updated Zoning Re: Rear Deck at 3258 Wellington Applicant Gerry Gruber wishes to build a rear deck to the property line. Mayfair Civic Association previously met with Applicant. Current neighbors have concerns with ongoing quality of life issues with this neighbor and feel that this will only add to those issues. Opposed

New Zoning for a proposed Planet Fitness (formerly Fashion Bug) at 6411 Frankford Avenue. Ron Patterson and Tony Ruffo made a presentation to gauge interest in building a Planet Fitness gym near the Mayfair Shop-n-Bag. Many of their current members at other locations come from Mayfair. All machines and cardiovascular, no free weights and it will be open 24 hours a day. Plans to renovate the building and place windows on the Frankford Ave. side. They are interested in signing a ten (10) year lease, with four (4) renewable five(5) year leases.

Dog Park Update-

Megan Whalen discussed the formation of a dog park committee. An informal meeting was held in March to discuss possible locations within Pennypack and around Lincoln High School however an open mind is being kept regarding locations within the Northeast if those locations do not work out.

The dog park committee would like work with whoever owns the land so that any park created is something that is mutually beneficial to both the community and any organization within Pennypack, the Fairmount Park Commission or the School District of Philadelphia.

The next meeting will be held sometime in April (as yet to be determined) and all are invited to attend. There is a Facebook page under "Mayfair Dog Park" which is regularly updated with information and discussion regarding progress. The meeting in April will consist of election of officers, discussion of fund raising, and a presentation by a representative from the Northern Liberties Dog Park to give advice on how they got started and established. Please contact Megan Whalen at meganw@gmail.com or Mia Hylan at mhylan@gmail.com if interested in joining. You can also contact the Civic Association who will put you in touch with the committee.

MAYFAIR CIVIC ASSOCIATION HOSTS

SECOND ANNUAL EASTER EGG HUNT TO BENEFIT

THE MAYFAIR MEMORIAL PLAYGROUND at LINCOLN HIGH SCHOOL

Festivities Kick-Off At 12:00PM at Rowland Ave at Vista St.

Saturday March 24, 2012

The Mayfair Civic Association (“MCA”) is excited to announce its 2nd Annual Easter Egg Hunt along with the Friends of Mayfair Memorial Playground (at Lincoln High School). MCA President Joe DeFelice is very proud of this event which was extremely successful last year and had over 1000 participants from the neighborhood and included people from as far away as Ft. Washington, PA. The Easter Egg Hunt he feels, helps fill the void between the MCA Christmas Tree Lighting in December and the Fallen Heroes Run and “May Fair” in May. DeFelice stated, “This event is a culmination of many neighbors who had not previously known each other coming together for a cause that is beneficial to our community at large. It is events like this that hold together the fabric of our neighborhood and makes it as tight knit as we know it is. It also presents an opportunity to visit the Mayfair Memorial Playground at Lincoln High School, which after 3 years of aggressive fundraising had its first piece of equipment installed on October 27, 2011 with help from national non-profit, KaBOOM! and a generous grant from GIANT Food Stores. We have been raising money to rebuild and to socialize with like-minded parents and children from our community.” The event was the brainchild of the Mayfair Civic Association Playground Committee in 2011, who felt the best way to showcase the progress made at the playground would be to host a large community event at that location. Playground Committee members Melinda Mulvenna, Dana Lambie, Mia Hylan, and Anna Stacey have been working for weeks in conjunction with the rest of the Mayfair Civic Association membership to tweak last year's event to make it even better for this year.

The event had over 1000 participants last year and many more are expected this year. Each child will receive a goodie bag for their participation and the Friends of Mayfair Memorial Playground will be hosting a bake sale on the premises. The Easter Bunny will also be present for pictures and other family friendly events will be held such as dancing with music provided by a DJ and a coloring table. The Mayfair Civic Association believes that the main focus of this event is to continue to raise awareness to the playground's plight of long-term maintenance and to add more equipment to the playground. The MCA and Playground Committee continue to welcome any donations that come their way. Many local businesses have stepped forward in pledging their support but special recognition should be given to Lambie Funeral Home, GIANT Food Stores, Republic Bank, and Fluehr's Funeral Home who have generously donated $500 each towards the continuing playground fundraising efforts.

This event helps to highlight an exciting year for Mayfair, accentuates the positive things that continue to happen in the Mayfair community and is just another reason that Mayfair is a great place to live, work and play.************************

Please stop. You are doing the people a disservice by sending them to a meeting that is not going to happen. We had already requested a continuance from the proprietor and were waiting final approval so rather than there being a zoning variance hearing on Arch Street this week we will be having a community meeting where the proprietor will present to members of our Civic Association on Monday March 19, 2012 at 7pm at the Mayfair Community Center (2990 St. Vincent st).
