From the Executive Director
Dear Neighbors and Friends of Chestnut Hill,
I hope you are all doing well as we head into what will hopefully be a cooler late summer/early fall. Even with the sobering news about the Covid-19 Delta Variant, activities and events seem to be picking up and we are all once again masking up when we go inside of public spaces in order to keep each other safe – please keep it up, we can beat this thing! Take a look below at what is going to be a busy September and October. We are coming up on the 2 year anniversary of the Passport to the Chestnut Hill Experience, a member benefit that helps you support our area businesses and institutions. We would love to get your feedback about what works, what doesn’t and how we can improve it, please take the survey below and give us your input. The CHCA Canine Club has had a successful launch and we are looking forward to some fun dog-related activities coming this fall. Lots going on with many of our partners so take a look in our Community Partners section. It’s great to see the kids all going back to school, now we can just look forward to some crisp fall days.
Stay safe everyone.
Regards,
Anne McNiff
Executive Director
