Cedar Park Neighbors Newsletter Abbraccio Restaurant: It’s Ciao Time! t is time to say “ciao” (hello) to Inewest Abbraccio Restaurant—Cedar Park’s dining establishment. Cedar Park residents and restaurateurs Roger Harman, Vincent Whittacre and Dwayne Ball took a risk and boldly went where few have been willing to go—into the uncharted waters of new construction, building licenses and permits, zoning and architectural design. We raise a toast to their confidence and investment in our community. It was just four years ago that Cedar Park Neighbors facilitated discussions among residents to consider competing proposals for use of the abandoned lot at the corner of 47th Street and Warrington Avenue. Serious consideration was given to all proposals and difficult decisions were made. The process worked as it should, and the result—our neighborhood’s first new business construction in many years— is well worth the wait.

p.m. As a special “thanks” to our neigh- Abbraccio Restaurant borhood association, 5% of the proceeds 820 South 47th Street from the Sunday, September 21 Breakfast (215) PASTA-47 Buffet will benefit Cedar Park Neighbors. Be sure to bring your family and friends to this special breakfast to celebrate good food, good company, and a good cause. Neighbors were treated to a “behind the scenes” tour and refreshments on July 7. There was overwhelming enthusiasm and admiration for the beautiful interior and exterior. Congratulations Roger, Vincent and Dwayne!

We need volunteers right now to recruit entertainment, solicit raffle prizes, sell raffle tickets, and circulate flyers and other publicity materials. On the day of the fair, help is needed to set up, moderate children’s activities, work at the membership table. This is a fun way to meet neighbors and a great way to get involved in CPN.
