Thank You
To Laura Bennett, Ally Kirk, Nikki Faulkner, Annie & Hunter Brown and Brown Distributing and Grande Communications for Making the Pemberton Heights Fall Picnic a HUGE Success!!! Thanks to Laura Benner, Ally Kirk and Nikki Faulkner, the annual Pember ton Heights Fall picnic was again a huge success this year! Almost 169 neighbors gathered (95 adults and 74 children) on the evening of Sunday, October 23th, at Jean Mueller’s side lawn to enjoy a delightful meal from Tacodeli and catch up with friends, old and new. The kids bounced in a moonwalk, ate pizza, and got their faces painted by Bovo the Clown. Thanks to all the neighbors who contributed by making and bringing a dessert. The desserts were certainly devoured quickly! In addition to socializing with one another, Pemberton residents were given the opportunity to pay annual association membership dues, make donations to the neighborhood security efforts, and sign up for the perennial favorite holiday carriage rides in December. Every neighbor who attended either paid for or renewed their dues, so this event continues to be a big success for generating membership in the PHNA!!! We would like to thank Annie and Hunter Brown and Brown Distributing for donating the beverages for our picnic. We also appreciate the continued support of Grande Communications with their sponsorship of our event. Thank you, neighbors for coming out and making our picnic extra special this year! And, again, a big thanks to the Muellers, Laura and Ally and Nikki for making this picnic a big success. We wouldn’t have done it without you!!!
