Need mulch?

February 3rd, 2010

Dear Friend of Scouting,

Need Mulch? On March 6th, Troop 200 from Mt. Paran Church of God, is delivering pinestraw (rain or shine) to homes in Piedmond Bend. Life Scout Joshua Valdez lives in our neighborhood and the monies made will help send him and the rest of his troop to summer camp. (Earn your own way.) To make sure you get your order, just go on-line to: http://troop200.us/BSA_Troop200_PineStrawSale.htm . Click the PayPal button (Cost is $4.15 per bail to help cover paypal costs – min. 10 bales) and you’ll be taken to our secure on-line ordering page where you can tell us how many bales you want and your delivery address. Or you can print this flyer (PDF) and mail in your payment (cost is $4.00 per bail and a check can be mailed to the address on the flyer.)

Thank you for your order and your donations! Your support gives our Scouts the opportunity to learn the value of work, the art of teamwork, and to attend outings and get equipment they’ll need to enhance their scouting experience throughout the next year. We couldn’t do it without you!

Thanks for your help at the fall clean-up

November 18th, 2009

Special thanks are extended to everyone who participated in the Fall Cleanup day at the pool and tennis courts this past weekend. The grounds and facilities look great! My appreciation to Marty Schnurr for his coordination and leadership with the cleanup process!

If you have been by the pool this week, you probably noticed that there is a HUGE pile of lawn debris in the parking lot. A dumpster was delivered yesterday and we are renting a wood chipper this weekend to convert the HUGE pile to something that will fit in the dumpster (hopefully). If you are able to assist with the chipping and transferring of the debris, please join us beginning at 9:30 a.m. on Saturday, November 21. Many hands make light work!

Thanks again and Happy Thanksgiving to our PBRA members!

Cliff

Halloween Party, Fall Clean-Up Day, Waste Management

October 28th, 2009

Although the pool season is now over, I do have some special news for our PBRA members:

HALLOWEEN PARTY – Saturday, October 31, 6:00pm

Join your neighbors for a fun Halloween celebration. The party will be held in the tennis court parking lot. Hot dogs and “fixins” will be provided. Please bring a dish, dessert or drink to share. Special thanks to Kelly Wilson for coordinating the party. If you or someone you know would be willing to donate a trailer for hayrides, please let me know!

FALL CLEAN-UP DAY – Saturday, November 14, 9:00am

Our annual Fall Clean-Up day for the pool and tennis courts will be Saturday, November 14, beginning at 9:00 a.m. (people can come later if needed). We have a very full project list this year, so I hope that you will be able to help. More details regarding this will soon follow.

WASTE MANAGEMENT

Waste Management is the “preferred” waste hauler for Piedmont Bend residents. They are contractually obligated to provide all Piedmont Bend residents a monthly rate of $13.00. If you are currently using Waste Management, check your most recent bill to verify that they have continued with this rate. If you would like to begin service with WM, call 404-794-6707 and indicate you are a Piedmont Bend resident.

That’s all for now! Have a safe and Happy Halloween!

Adult Casino Night

August 6th, 2009

Are you feeling lucky? Well, are you?

If so, please plan on coming to our Adults Only “Casino Night” at the pool this Saturday, August 8, beginning at 6:00 p.m.! Now, I don’t want to give the wrong impression – we will not have professional card dealers dressed in tuxedos. But we will have a few gaming tables set up and some other fun games and activities – volleyball, belly flop contest, whatever else Mary Boland comes up with . . . It is guaranteed to be a fun event!

Come with a cooler of your favorite beverage and, if you like, an entrée for you and your guests. We will have the grills fired up and you can cook to your heart’s delight! Also, bring a dish to share – the usual routine, bring a side dish if your last name starts with A – M; bring a dessert or something sweet if your last name starts with N – Z. We will provide plates, plastic ware, napkins, etc.

Good times, good food, good music, good drink – sitting by the pool with your friends and neighbors! What else could make the evening even better?

NO KIDS!!

Also, feel free to bring guests! Just remember the $2 guest fee.

I look forward to seeing you Saturday night. Even if you are not feeling lucky.

Cliff Pepper
PBRA Board President

P.S. – The weather on Saturday is supposed to be PERFECT!
