Remaking Our Communities

By
The Chestnut St. Playground needs a makeover and an orgnanization has been created to help see that it happens.  Chestnut Street Playground Community CARES is graciously accepting donations and support now through April in hopes of raising $65,000 before breaking ground in early summer.

Chestnut Street Playground Community CARES is engaging the community to re-gentrify a playground in dire need of repair.  The playground has always been and continues to be the gathering place for children and families.  Over time, through heavy use, and with weather wear and tear the need to repair or replace the playground has only grown.

Highlighting the goals Chestnut St. Playground Community CARES is looking to achieve are as follows:
  • Handicap Accessibility: 
    • Adaptive Seats with Belts 5 ft. wide black-top pathways for wheelchair and walker accessibility
  • Safe Equipment:
    • with pour and play matting
  • Learning Integration:
    • Music Maker with drums, rattles, wheels and more encourage learning and intellectual growth.  The play-set includes brail for the blind.  It has also been a wonderful piece for autistic children to participate in the fun.
To help support this great endeavor, many volunteers are going to great lengths to make this vision become reality.  To that end there are many opportunities for the public to participate and support the project, as well as sponsorship's for families or businesses who want to get involved.  

There are many businesses and local community advocates working to create fundraising events.  For a listing of upcoming events please go here. 

Individual donations are also being accepted.

I know, I know, I don't want to think about the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday let alone Christmas. With these tumultuous times we are dealing with and the massive amount of change being undertaken, let's show this world that we can let the Phillies pick us up. Please visit our Sellersville store to see the World Champion Phillies Ornaments on display and for sale. These commemorative ornaments include pictures taken at the Game 5 World Series Clincher against the Ray and those Phillies. There is no better tree ornament this holiday season.

AFL Seasons Over, but there is still Pro Indoor Football to be played!

By
The US Indoor Football League , or USIFL is a Professional Indoor Football League whose goal is to improve upon the industries "Thug" reputation and provide a high quality of play, performance and entertainment at a fair price. Providing true, family-friendly entertainment, the USIFL is reaching new heights with more teams and more excitement. The Lehigh Valley Outlawz are looking to establish themselves moreso since they are freshman to this league. With the Arena Football League season over before it begins, the UNIFL is the ONLY indoor league which will embrace former AFL players The 2009 season kicks off with the NE Surge at Lehigh Valley Outlawz on March 22 in a fully televised contest. Being thankful the Soul won it all in the AFL last year and sad that we won't be able to see them try to repeat this season, I am excited to take the family to a couple of inexpensive nights out in the Lehigh Valley. The drive from Bucks County isn't as long as the ride to Phi...

While some were consolidating to maintain their bottom lines and stay afloat in the recent tumultuous economic conditions we tried investing.  And while we didn't have much money to invest, our bank (with the gracious help of the Small Business Administration), thought enough of our business and our goals to fund an acquisition of a retiring engravers business in Lansdale. At the same time we are investing in knowledge.  We joined a promotional products trade association that enables us to receive discounts on many promotional products which is savings we are passing along to you.  They have webinars, online sales tools and much more available to those interested in using promotional products. We also have our web promotional products search engine at www.promopros.com   and will be offering tips for creative uses of promotional products here on this blog. Leave your creative uses for promotional products in the comments.
