HHA Nights 2009
Mr. Hornbeck would like to personally invite every HHA family and community member
to join us at the 5th Annual Hampstead Hill Nights extravaganza.
If you have never
come to one of these wonderful evenings, you are in for a real treat.
There is live
music featuring some of the best bands in Baltimore as well as grilled food, Rita’s
Water Ice, games for the kids, face painting, and more. Prices are very reasonable
and the fun factor is sky high. HHA staff volunteer their time to make the event
really special. Please join us from 6-8 p.m. for the next three Thursdays in May
– May 7th, May 14th and May 21st. Tell your friends and neighbors to come on by.
All are welcome.
The Community Service Project - A New Name
The Community Service Project,
the volunteer group made-up of approximately 25 middle school students, has accomplished
so much this year that they have been recognized by the Kiwanis International as
a Builders Club. The Kiwanis Club of East Baltimore is sponsoring the club. So far
this year, the club has volunteered with the Baltimore Animal Rescue Center’s annual
fundraiser, visited Future Care Nursing Home once a month to make a small craft
with the residents, helped with decorations for the HHA spring musical, and had
a Valentine’s Day candy gram sale to benefit the Make a Wish Foundation. Still to
come this year, the students will: participate in the 4 Mile March of Dimes Walk
on Sunday, May 3rd; help out at HHA Nights; and host another candy gram sale before
the school year ends. This is a tremendous group of students with whom Miss Howell
and Ms. Jackson are honored to work. We cannot wait to see what they will do next
year.
Urban Pirates Art Contest
Urban Pirates, Baltimore's interactive pirate ship adventure, held an art contest
to celebrate its first birthday. Artwork was sent in from all across the state from
kids of all ages. On Friday, the finalists were displayed at the Fredrick Douglas
Museum in Fells Point for the Swashbuckler's Ball and then again on Saturday for
Privateer Day. Urban Pirates is proud to announce that Guadalupe Sosa was the winner
of the middle school drawing contest. Guadalupe won a four pack of tickets to any
cruise valued at $80.00. Congratulations Guadalupe!
