After the responses I have received back form the Fourth of July email these were the results for a BBQ:
What I would like to do is have the grill going for anyone that wants to out cookout themselves on Friday between the hours of 11-2. Mary will have games/activities at that time also.

It’s time for the annual Piedmont Bend July 4th Parade!
Decorate your bikes, strollers and scooters for a patriotic ride through the neighborhood. Riders and their parents should meet at 10 am at the intersection of Kinridge Road and Kinridge Trail (see map below). The parade will proceed to the pool where everyone can cool off with a dip in the pool or a swing on the playground. Check out some pictures from last year.
Spectators are encouraged! Happy Fourth of July!
Yes Adult night; we will be closing the pool at 7P.M. for Adults Access Only. All you will be responsible for is the meal you bring to eat and the drinks you will be drinking if choose to. By no means do you have to cook out at all. Just come on down for a fun night! The grill will be hot and ready for you to use at 7:30.
We will have music, games (cards and/or dice), volleyball and plenty of fun catching up with friends. This is a great opportunity to meet some new friends or just catch up with old ones. All you need to do is bring your own food and drinks, relax, and enjoy your evening.
If you have any suggestions for games that you think might be fun please let me know. Please remember to keep any glass bottles away from the pool deck. Hope to see you all there.

The popular Google Maps “StreetView” feature was updated earlier this week to include Atlanta. Part of that includes a brief visit to Piedmont Bend!
They entered on Kinridge off of East Piedmont, took it straight up to Starlight, then jogged over to Kinridge and exited onto Sandy Plains. I had hoped they’d cover the entire subdivision, but it’s a start.
Based on what we could tell at our church, the area was photographed just prior to last Christmas. I presume that we were photographed at roughly the same time. If you see anything in the photos to indicate otherwise (for example, “our red Camry is in the driveway and we didn’t buy it until February”), let us know in the comments. I’m always interested in trying to put a timestamp on these.
You can check us out here, or just use the image below. For more information about this release, visit the Digital Earth Blog.
If you want to stop the deluge into your mailbox, and want to save 3.6 million tons of paper (53 million trees a year), check out Catalog Choice, a new online service that will tell merchants “thanks, but no thanks” on your behalf. The service is free, and it’s simple. Just register at www.catalogchoice.org to search and decline.
We’re trying to put together a “Yellow Pages” of Piedmont Bend residents — jobs you can do that your neighbors might be able to use. This can be simple things like babysitting, lawn mowing, car washing, or bigger tasks like plumbing, roofing or deck work.
The advantages are two-fold:
1 — It’s often easier to get help from someone if they’re local. For example, I certainly wouldn’t mind knowing about some babysitters in the subdivision that we could call on.
2 — It’s a great way to support each other. Why send money to a faceless landscape service to clear out your leaves, when someone down the street would love the chance to earn a few dollars?
Use the PB Yellow Pages link in the sidebar to keep up with the list, and please send me your info if you’d like to be included. The more people we add to the page, the more useful it will be for everyone.
Thanks!
Mickey

Thanks to all that came out to the pool to make our first annual PBRA Extravaganza a huge success. I hope that everyone had as much fun as I did. Here are a few pictures from the event.
A special thanks to Mary Boland for all of the activities she planned and for the wonderful prizes and to Jack Siegal for cooking in the hot sun. Please keep your eyes open for more fun activities in the coming weeks. If you have any types of themes or ideas for parties please let Mary Boland know.
