VOLUNTEERS NEEDED To Paint Holiday Scenes on Windows

In the spirit of partnership with the Main St. program on
7th St., Elm St. - Old Allentown would like to continue
the "Sparkle on Main St." program by painting storefront
windows with fun holiday scenes - three in our
Elm St. community/Old Allentown Historic District.

We have permission from the Turner St. Laundromat (near 11th
St. on Turner), Las Palmas Restaurant (across from the OAPA
office) and Neighborhood for Housing Lehigh Valley office on
10th St. (about a half a block from the OAPA office).

As you can see all locations are close to each another and
the plan is to paint the windows starting 9AM, Saturday,
12/6/08. OAPA will provide the paints. According to Dick
Blick staff, regular tempera paint is what they use for
their own store window painting. OAPA will provide paint
and brushes.

As of today, OAPA has only one artist signed up for
this project. We need at least one or two more
artists to make this happen!

Please contact Marie Sincavage (610.740.9919 or oldallentown@enter.net) ASAP if you can help us 9-11AM, Saturday,
12/6/08.
If Friday, 12/5/08, is better for your schedule, that works
too.
