A main focus of the meeting will be our upcoming 68th Annual SHCA May Fair - Saturday May 9th noon-6pm, once again featuring a range of activities for the entire family, including the ever popular petting zoo, moon bounce and free kids games, more than 80 vendors (local crafters and artisans with a wide array of delightful and unique goods just in time for Mother's Day, community organizations doing great work in the neighborhood), both savory and sweet food trucks, our $1 raffle baskets, the University City Garden Club plant sale, and an incredible arrangement of live musical performances throughout the day!! 

If you would like to volunteer at the Fair, please let me know and we will send you the sign up sheet link!
