2007 Spring Appeal

Dear CCRA Members, Friends, and Neighbors,

I am writing today to highlight several ongoing CCRA programs and initiatives, and to ask for your support as CCRA launches its 2007 Spring Appeal. At this time of year, CCRA customarily solicits contributions for Sidewalk Cleaning in order to keep our neighborhood clean and attractive.

This year, in addition to our appeal for the Sidewalk Cleaning fund, we are requesting support to maintain many other CCRA initiatives. For example, we need your help to continue the consulting services needed to carry out the recommendations of the recently adopted Neighborhood Plan.

We are particularly proud of recent improvements to the CCRA Website and our publication, Center City Scene, which now sports a revised layout, expanded content, and lots of useful information for Center City residents and businesses.   

On the social side, CCRA needs funds to continue our annual Community Supper, Celebration of Center City Living, Fall House Tour, and Halloween Treat Trail. And our rich Member Benefits and Shop & Dine Tuesdays programs continue to grow. 

We thank those members, businesses and others who have lent their support in the past.  I trust that you will agree that these programs and activities are worthy of your continued support.  And I trust, also, that CCRA can once again count on you for a generous tax-deductible* donation. 

To contribute now with a credit card online through PayPal, select one of the below levels of giving, click on the "Make a Donation" button, and follow the PayPal prompts.

Or mail your check payable to "CCRA" with "Spring Appeal" on the memo line to::

CCRA
1616 Walnut Street, Suite 705
Philadelphia, PA 19103

Thanks again. We appreciate your caring and concern.

Sincerely,

Thomas J. Reilly, Jr.
President
