Monthly Meetings

Now that you've read about some of the great things that HI has accomplished, you want to Get Involved, right? Well, you've come to the right place because we could always use more input, more ideas, and more energy! These are the committees that make it all happen - contact each at 412-421-7234:

Communications
This is the group in charge of bringing you the Hazelwood Homepage every month and ideas for our Web Page. Contact Kelli Herd for more information.

Finance
Led by the Treasurer, this committee drafts the budget, reviews financials and the Annual Audit Statement and makes recommendations on utilization of the QuickBooks software. This committee also reviews fundraising activity. Contact Fran Bertonaschi.

Special Events
This committee is responsible for planning and implementing the Summer Concerts, Safe Halloween, Light Up Night and the 5K Run. Contact Marcella Rue.

Oktoberfest 5K Race
Probably the single most effective way of bringing new people into our community. You can see why this event is the lynchpin of the HI experience. We could use your help in a variety of ways, from publicity to stuffing bags for runners.
Please contact Suzanne Murray for more info.

Fundraising
This group is by far the most creative and entrepreneurial of the bunch. It's not easy coming up with ways to raise money but this committee has been very successful in having an Annual Night at the Races, Flower Sales for Mother's Day, and bus trips. By the way, would you like to buy a raffle ticket for $2?
Contact Joan McLaughlin for more information.

Membership Recruitment & Development
This committee assists with recruitment and orientation of new members, assigning of volunteer opportunities, and formation of Block Clubs. Contact Kris DiPietro for details.

Housing and Planning
Coming out of our Brownfields Committee, this group is responsible for staying up to date on the latest developments in Hazelwood, such as the insidious Mon-Fayette Toll Road. (Boo! Hiss!) and all of the developments in Hazelwood.

Planting
Green Thumbs, we need you! We have three important community gardens along Second Avenue that need to be regularly weeded, watered and maintained.
Contact Lisa Kunst Vavro to weed and seed
