Calling all neighbors and residents who may be able to lend a hand and pitch-in for a park clean-up being held this coming Saturday, April 26th, from 9-11 AM at Bailey Park. Gloves and trash bags will be provided, along with bottled water and pretzels. Just asking that anyone who can help simply bring some yard tools (rake, pruners, etc) for any tree or bush trimming or other light ground work.

This is being held in conjunction with a township-wide park clean-up campaign spearheaded by the Darby Creek Valley Association.

If you can spare some time and muscle, that would be great! Hope to see you at Bailey Park Saturday morning.

On Saturday, March 22nd, the Manoa Civic Association hosted its first annual Bailey Park Easter Egg Hunt. With over 200 excited kids and about 2000 eggs scattered about by good ole Peter Cottontail, a good time seemed to be had by all. Even the sun decided to come out to warm things up! Congratulations again to the lucky finders of the 12 magical eggs!! Special thanks to our organizers and volunteers for putting together a great event. We were also honored to have Commissioners Steve D’Emilio, Mario Oliva and Jim McGarrity join in our celebration. If you didn’t happen to see Jimmy, it may have been because of his furry disguise!

The Haverford Township Police Department is seeking volunteers to serve on the Youth Aid Panel, which is a program allowing first time juvenile offenders a second chance by hearing cases referred by the police department. Panels recommend resolutions that could include community service, attendance at classes, etc. Panelists are required to undergo nine hours of training after their acceptance into the program, following an application process that includes a criminal background check. Trained panelists can expect to spend three to four hours a month performing panel duties at the Haverford Township Police station.

Anyone interested in the program may contact Detective Alan Ross at (610) 853-1298 ext. 237, or at aross@haverfordpolice.org.

Thanks to all of our volunteers and neighbors who made Manoa Civic’s first annual Halloween Party at Bailey Park a real success! With 200+ people in attendance, candy, pretzels, pumpkin painting and some of the best costumes, you couldn’t help but have a great time.

So we want to hear from you! If you had a good time - tell us what you liked. If there was something we could have done better - or you have a general suggestion, share it with us by using the Contact Us form, or by providing a comment.

In addition to great people, fantastic weather and a ton of Havertown spirit, this year’s Haverford Township Day parade included representation from the Manoa Civic Association!

Special thanks to all of our supporters and marchers, big and small!
