We have been working on a draft of our bylaws and articles or incorporation. The most updated versions are on our website and can be accessed at the following links (PDFs). We are hoping to propose a vote to approve the changes at our Oct and December 2022 meetings.

Passing of FCA Board Member Bruce Butler

We are very sad to announce the passing of our current Secretary and former VP and President Bruce Butler on January 18, 2022. Bruce was an incredible board member for the FCA dedicating countless hours in service to our neighborhood, which he loved so much. https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/inquirer/name/bruce-butler-obituary?id=32371584

The lighting will take place on Saturday, December 7, 2019 at 7 pm, rain or shine. This is a free event open to all. Refreshments provided courtesy of the Fairmount Civic Association. If interested please email  john.mihalich@comcast.net so we can get a rough headcount. Thanks.

8th Annual Fairmount Fall Cleanup

Join the Fairmount Civic Association’s Neighborhood Improvement Committee’s 8th annual Fall Cleanup (9am-noon) and help beautify the neighborhood! Meet at the playground behind Eastern State Penitentiary (22nd and Brown). Sign in, get some snacks/beverages and pick up supplies, including gloves, bags, brooms, and rakes. Brooms and rakes must be returned. Even if you don’t live in Fairmount you can help—cleaning up one area prevents trash from going to others, especially with the Schuylkill River here. Volunteers will receive museum tickets courtesy of Eastern State Penitentiary while supplies last.
