Calendar of Events

May 16th, 2009 - Neighborhood Clean-Up
The Roxborough Business Exchange members-gloves, brooms, trash bags and enthusiasm at the ready-are searching for a few weeds and some extra hands to pull them.

As part of its "Help a Neighbor" program, the group of area business owners has organized a cleanup day for May 16. The intent of the day is to provide free lawn and yard cleanup for an area resident who needs help doing the work.

"We are actively looking for a neighbor who can't manage spring lawn cleanup himself and needs a little assistance to get his yard ready for the season. We're also looking for more volunteers to lend a hand with that cleanup." said Dave Schiman, an acupuncturist from Roxborough Community Acupuncture and one of the organizers of the event.

The cleanup is scheduled to take place May 16, from 12-3 p.m. Interested in volunteering or have a suggestion for a Neighbor in Need? Call Chiropractor Bill Pezzello at 215-505-5555.

Schiman and Pezzello founded the RBE last August to champion Roxborough and the surrounding community by propping up its businesses. Group members provide a network of support and referrals to each other in growing and marketing their businesses.

Members also focus on helping the community by sponsoring local service events. The group- along with Schiman and Pezzello's Lyceum Wellness Center-hosted a Christmas food drive and tree lighting ceremony in December, at the Wellness Center, 445 Lyceum Ave. For more information on joining the group, contact Pezzello, at 215-505-5555, or Schiman, at 215-298-3446, or click here.
