V.I.P SIGN UP AT TEMPLE FOOTBALL GAME

This past Saturday college football fans ran to the stadium to witness the battle of the weekend between the Temple Owls and W. Michigan Wolverines. Unfortunately Temple didn’t poll through this time, with a score of 3 to 7. This was a sad day for Temple fans, but the Villa reached out to the college students at the football stadium with V.I.P. sign ups. For thoughs that do not know, V.I.P. sign up is a way that we at the Villa can keep the community aware on what’s going on at the Villa, from community events to special sales. The game brought on a big crowd with so many questions. So with that said, look out for the Villa tent at the next Temple game.

NORTH PHILADELPHIA CLEAN UP

This Friday’s “Love Where You Live” Clean Up at D & Ontario was a big success. This was truly a boon to see the community come together with so much positive aspiration focusing on the up keep of their neighborhood. The children bought out the best in everyone with their positive attitudes and motivation to keep up their neighborhood. We had a special appearance from Diego ( Dora the Explorer cousin) who made the children go crazy. Fun, the word that sums up what this clean up created in the neighborhood.
