Help Wanted  We are looking for a coordinator to schedule neighborhood porch parties.  This person will be part of the Membership Committee, and will schedule porch parties to be held at interested neighbors homes.  They will ensure that the hosts' are ready with plates, ice and setups, select Friday dates for the events, and arrange for publicity.   Please consider volunteering for this position by  contacting Lorena Hardwick at membership@sshca.org.

SSHCA will be participating in the American Cancer Society Relay for Life to help raise funds and raise awarness of this disease and how it affects so many of us.  Our neighborhood team will be walking with other Seminole Heights organizations on April 9-10 at Hillsborough High School.  We are still looking for volunteers to help raise funds and join in on the walk.  You can volunteer to "do the walk" for as little as an hour, but are welcome to stay with the team throughout the night. You can reach our team webpage, and sign up to join by clicking here.

The City/County Planning Commission approved the first step needed in our road to enact Form Based Codes at their January 25th meeting.  This will make the change in the Tampa Comprehensive Plan, so the necessary zoning changes can be made by the City.  The next step will be a public hearing before the City of Tampa Council on February 25th.  We will keep you posted with developments.

The Seminole Heights Vision plan has been developed over the past two years with neighborhood input the entire time.  It has been the residents and businesses who have recommended to the planners what will work and what will not.  Your support at any of the public hearings and workshops will be greatly appreciated.  We will continue to update this site with important dates and locations for hearings.   You will find the Public Hearing Report on the Link Page; "Planning Commission 1-25-10"

Newly designed MEMBERSHIP CARDS have been sent to all current members!!    The plastic cards have a great photo of the grand oak in Rivercrest Park, along with our logo and the member's name.  In addition, Neighborhood Crime Watch Volunteers will also receive a photo ID, identifying them as Volunteer Crime Watch  members.  We encourage you to wear your ID at meetings, so others can  get to know you better.  We hope to soon have a list of neighborhood businesses that will offer "value added" services for our members.  Watch for further news here at SSHCA.org  We want to thank the Hillsborough Board of County Commissoners, Hillsborough County Children's Board and the Frank E. Duckwall Foundation who provided Mini-Grant funds to make this project possible.
