Annual Meeting
We will be hosting our annual meeting on January 23rd, beginning at 6:30pm at the Metcalfe’s Market Cafe. Menu available, here. Join us if you have an interest in getting more involved in the PPNA in 2017. Opportunities to contribute to the neighborhood include:
Coordinating the Egg Hunt on April 8th (Purchasing, filling, “hiding” eggs and leading the event on the 8th)
Coordinating the Neighborhood Wide Rummage Sale (Pick dates, create a flyer, collect participation forms, advertise and create a master list of participants)
Committee members are needed for the neighborhood sign project (Envision an updated version of the PPNA logo, find a graphic designer, get quotes for signage, work with the city on placement) Fingers crossed that the Metcalfe’s fundraiser will cover all sign costs!
Shadow current board members to transition to a new board. Some board members have served for several years in their positions and would be grateful to help someone new learn the ropes!
Coordinate a new club or group for the neighborhood.
Join us at the annual meeting to share your ideas and enthusiasm for the PPNA!
Support the PPNA with Metcalfe’s Market Another Helping Program
We’re excited to announce that for the month of January we’re partnering with Metcalfe’s Market to earn money for our organization and give you a discount! Use this coupon to save 5% off your grocery purchases anytime, all month long. And not only will you save – but at the end of the month Metcalfe’s will donate 5% of all our neighborhood member purchases back to us.
Present this coupon (printed or on your phone) at checkout in January anytime to save 5% on groceries, and then Metcalfe’s will donate that 5% to the Pabst Park Neighborhood Association. Win-win!
We will use the proceeds of this fundraiser to move forward with our neighborhood sign project, more info, here. We still need to form a committee of neighbors interested in taking the lead on this project. The first hurdle, fundraising, could be easily cleared by Metcalfe’s generosity. Please let me know if you are interesting in helping with the street sign project via email.
Nighttime Trick or Treat
Ghosts, Goblins, Princesses and Pirates can Trick or Treat this year on:
Monday, October 31st from 6pm-8pm
Any household within the PPNA borders, 60th to 68th from North to Lloyd, may hand out treats. The Fall Newsletter will have the official PPNA Pumpkin to hang in your window to show your participation. This is a PPNA sponsored event, please support your neighborhood association by joining the PPNA or renewing your membership at this time. Glow Lights will be given out to participants at the membership drive. Two year members and those who have mailed in the membership form will have Glow Lights delivered to their home.
There will be two PPNA sponsored CIDER STOPS. At our cider stops, we will be collecting nonperishable food items, toiletries or monetary donations for Tosa Cares. Visit http://www.tosacares.org for a list of preferred donation items. Have your little ghost or goblin give a little something back to the community for their basket of goodies! If there is a chill in the air, feel free to grab a warm cup of apple cider at either location.
Cider Stops are 2119 North 61st and 2119 North 66th.
This is a Rain or Shine Event!
THANK YOU to our business sponsor, Hue, on 65th and North Avenue, for donating caramel apples for our little ghosts and goblins! Pick one up at our cider stops while supplies last! Don’t forget donations for Tosa Cares too!
