Thank you to all those who came out for the 16th Annual Canine Costume Parade. We had 62 entrants and raised the most money ever! All proceeds benefit the City of Boston’s Animal Shelter in Roslindale, via gift cards purchased at local pet businesses. This ensures that the funds raised benefit the animals directly, and also support our local businesses.
Thank you to all who came out for our Growler Gala Fundraiser on October 17 at the Loring Greenough House! It was totally tubular and awesomely radical, as we donned our best 80s gear for Stranger Brew.
Our Economic Vitality Committee invited the leadership team from the new Chase Bank opening on Centre St to our meeting last night…and they showed up!!
Thank you to all who completed the customer survey at our area businesses. We have the results compiled and posted here.
A big THANK YOU to Ellen + Janis Real Estate for sponsoring our Screen on the Green on Aug 1 at the Curley School. We were so excited to see the goodies they brought to the festivities! We’re also very excited to have them on board as sponsors for our CANINE COSTUME PARADE! Look for them and us in October!
Congratulations to our Business of the Year, Little Dipper, and our Volunteer of the Year, Melvin Tutiven! JP Centre/South is very grateful for your contributions to our district. As Mayor Walsh said in his comments, our communities can’t run without the involvement of our businesses and volunteers!
It was a busy week for JP Centre/South as we hosted our second Screen on the Green on Thursday and then ran the JP Festival Trolley for JP Porchfest on Saturday, July 13.
Thank you to everyone who came out to our inaugural Screen on the Green last week! The weather came out beautifully too. We had a great time putting on the show for you. We are especially grateful to Ken Sazama Real Estate for sponsoring this great event!
This year, JP Centre/South Main Streets presents the JP Festival Trolley, a free trolley that will span the district and Jamaica Plain. This feature is made possible by a grant from the Boston Main Streets Foundation.
In May, our First Thursday Scavenger Hunt will feature six food businesses in the district. Each location will then offer you a free treat or sample to reward you for finding the location and answering the trivia questions! The fun starts Thursday, May 2, at 5pm. Be sure to get on the hunt right away, as some locations might run out of the tasty treats!
