The Spruce Hill Community Association recently hung the receipts for voting in their precinct in organization’s front window at 257 South 45th St. Voters in West Philadelphia went overwhelmingly for Democrats Joe Sestak and Dan Onorato for U.S. Senate and Pennsylvania governor respectively. Both men lost, of course, in the November 2 election.

The annual meeting of the Spruce Hill Community Association is tonight at 7:30 p.m. at the Spruce Hill Christian School at 42nd and Baltimore (enter on the 42nd Street side).  The meeting provides an opportunity for residents to comment on “issues of concern to the neighborhood.” Third District councilwoman Jannie Blackwell is scheduled to attend the meeting.

The meeting will also include elections, including five officer positions (one-year terms) and 10 board positions (two-year terms). Any dues paying member of the association may run, although the deadline for submitting nominations has passed. The association is also looking for volunteers to help with committee work, including mailings, membership recruitment and the May Fair.
