East Allentown Rittersville Neighborhood Association |
The East Allentown Rittersville Neighborhood Association (EARN) is the city-recognized neighborhood group for the 14th and 15th Wards of Allentown --- all the city east of the Lehigh River. EARN works with the Midway Manor Community Association to help improve the quality of life for our East Side residents and work with you to resolve neighborhood issues by bringing them to the attention of the proper city officials . Ever hear the expression "you can't fight City Hall" Well , whether that true or not, we're here to work with City Hall in making East Allentown a better place for all of us to live and work. This works best when more of our neighbors participate. Some of the issues we have handled over the past few months include:
EARN meets the third Monday of each month, starting at 7:00 p.m at St. Peter's Evangelical Lutheran Church, 1933 Hanover Avenue, Allentown PA 18109 Enter the Church on the Tacoma Street side, upper level ... Go to the end of the hall in front of you and make a left turn ... We meet in the room at the end of the Hall For your information ... Officers of the Allentown Police Department who are assigned to the East Side attend many of our meetings --- and are informed of proceedings at those they cannot attend. This is a great place to bring up concerns and issues... and you will not be identified publicly if you choose to remain anonymous. For the Holidays --- Project Haas is East Allentown's annual Holiday/Christmas light display. Dieruff High School students helped with erecting the display last November and we anticipate the same help this year. For the inquisitive --- Project Academia Science with its Kirk Shinsky , Frederick Greenleaf Jr. Pete Conrad and Gary Becker Awards meet our goal of promoting the future through education and science. East Allentown has three major youth sports groups : East Side Youth Center, East Side Memorial and Midway Manor. These groups run various sports programs throughout the year. And we are proud that Coca-Cola Park --- The Home of the Lehigh Valley Iron Pigs is in our backyard. Can we do more ...Yes ... With your help. |
