We are beginning to collect names for the neighborhood graduation banner congratulating those students who are graduating from high school or college this year. If there is someone you would like to include on the banner, please send me their name and school they are graduating from to piedmontbendsocial@gmail.com.

The deadline for providing names is Saturday, April 23rd.

The cost of the banner will be split among the participating families. Once I get our total number of graduates, I will coordinate the banner and contact each family with their portion. Payment will be needed before the banner is sent to print.

New PBRA President

Leave a Comment

I just wanted to take a moment to introduce myself. My name is Bonnie Folker and my husband, Noah, and I have been members of Piedmont Bend Recreation Association since 2017. We just welcomed a baby girl, Caroline, into the world in August. I am passionate about the well-being of the neighborhood and I am very excited to be the new President!

2021 Pool Season

2021 pool season will officially be Saturday, May 8th through Sunday, September 19th . The 2021 application and waiver are now on the website. Just a reminder, a waiver will be required before you are allowed into the pool.

As of today, the regulations for COVID-19 regarding public swimming pools are the same as last year. This means that we will begin the season with the same rules as 2020. The only difference for this year is that we will be allowing new members outside of Piedmont Bend to join the pool. The board and I will be keeping a close eye on any changes to the regulations and will keep everyone informed as things change. You can find the COVID-19 rules regarding the pool under Rules and Regulations. 

Pool Work Party

The pool work party will be Saturday, April 17th  from 9:00am to 2:00pm. If it rains, April 24th will be the backup day. If you come and help for 2 hours you can take $25 off your dues. Please make plans to arrive no later than 12 to ensure you get your 2 hours in.
