Welcome 2014! The PPNA has 2 returning board members for the new year and a “new” president. I say “new” because Tammy Crouch is a previous president back at the helm. A Winter Newsletter is ready for delivery and should be at your door by January 25th. We are still looking for a Vice President to help give some new input, fresh ideas and excitement! Feel free to contact one of the board members or email, Tammy at pabstpark@gmail.com to find out more about this opportunity to serve the community in a very low commitment way.
We have our first event of the new year scheduled on Saturday February 8th. We will be hosting a PPNA Happy Hour at Red Dot on 67th and North Avenue from 5pm-7pm. If you need a babysitter, please contact Jenny Foshag at jsbrand27@hotmail.com for local sitters. This is a members only event, so if you haven’t renewed your membership or would like to join for the first time, print out a membership form and bring it along to the happy hour. Sample poutine and enjoy happy hour drink specials, meet the new board and make some new friends!
