FCA Recent Activities

Community Shredding Day
The FCA has embarked on a new event by providing a shredding day to the community. FCA recently partnered with 3 local organizations to successfully promote this day which turned out a decent number of residents "cleaning house" of old personal paper........into the shredding truck they went!
 
Membership Summer Social
Each July the FCA hosts a social gathering for members to thank them for their support, provide a social networking event and possible generate new members. The event is always held at one of the local Fairmount Business Association business for support.
 
Candidates Night
Each election year the FCA provides the community platform for candidates running that year.  All candidates are invited to speak to the membership and to provide their literature
 
Handbags for Friends
The FCA collected gently used handbags for the extended acute psychiatric ward patients at Temple Hospital, Episcopal Campus. Also collected were small makeup items such as lipstick, eye shadow, (no mascara), perfume, creams that you no longer use or hankies/tissues (small plastic packages). The women on this locked unit have very little and always ask for bags/purses to carry the few things that they have. 
 

Egg Scramble at Lemon Hill
FCA Volunteers spent a day cleaning-up the park the week prior to the event. This event provided a traditional egg hunt along the grassy hill of the historical home in Fairmount Park.

Children's Art Show during Fairmount Arts Crawl
FCA Volunteers collected, hung, judged, removed and returned artwork as well as filled balloons and donated baked goods. All participants were winners and went home with some kind of award.
