Join in on September 26, as individuals from neighborhoods across the city gather to discuss how we can work together to address safety issues!
Safe Neighborhoods is a collaborative network of block watches across Pittsburgh. Sponsored by Pittsburgh Community Reinvestment Group (PCRG), our goal is to bring neighborhood public safety activists together to share strategies, discuss root causes of crime across communities, receive training from public safety experts, and build safe communities from the grassroots up.
The discussion will last from 9 to 11 a.m. in the PCRG Conference Room, 1901 Centre Ave., Suite 200, Pittsburgh, PA 15219. The discussion will include available resources for community groups; any problems that you might be having in your own neighborhood and how we can work together to address them; and what initiatives are currently underway in the city. If there is something specific that you would like the group to address, please let me know so I can make sure it is on the agenda.
RSVP by September 25 by contacting Sarah at sstutts@pcrg.org or 412-391-6732 x 208.

Your Community Can Be Part of Pittsburgh 250!
The deadline to submit all project applications to be part of Pittsburgh's 250th birthday celebration in 2008 is quickly approaching. To be considered for funding, just generate an idea that benefits your community, fill out an application, and submit it to Community Connections (www.pittsburgh250.org/communityconnections) by September 14, 2007.
Targeting $1 million in total grant funding administered by The Sprout Fund, Community Connections projects will support the broad theme of “Pride & Progress.” Projects will be divided into three classes—Regional, Grassroots, and Affiliated—and any project that celebrates or contributes to the pride and progress of a Pittsburgh community is eligible for consideration.
Regional Projects should engage a regional audience and focus on long-term value. These projects are eligible for grants of up to $50,000. Grassroots Projects should engage community members at a local level. These projects are eligible for grants of up to $5,000. Affiliated Projects do not require monetary support, but will be endorsed and promoted as part of Community Connections.
More information and application materials are available at www.pittsburgh250.org/communityconnections.
