Message from the
President
It has been an interesting five months here in Pemberton Heights. As many of you are aware, the PHNA had dwindled over the past few years and the board had become a virtual board. Recognizing the continued interest in the PHNA by our neighbors, a new set of bylaws was adopted and a spirited election came to be. Time will tell if it is an honor or a sacrifice that I was elected President, but as of now, I look forward to working with as many residents of Pemberton Heights as want to be involved in the association. The new board of directors of the PHNA has carefully structured a program of committees in hopes that residents can have input to the programs and issues that involve the PHNA. The new contact list here in this newsletter will allow you to direct your interests and concerns to the appropriate group for discussion and recommended action as may be necessary. It is the hope of the board of directors that this will give all of the residents of Pemberton Heights a voice and an opportunity to participate and be informed. In our recent survey, the comments received indicate that overall the security is a key issue. The ranking of the other items are as follows: • Transportation / Traffic, 68.1% • Land Use / Zoning, 63.7% • Neighborhood Design, 62.7%

Neighborhood Newcomers Lunch Welcome to all the new neighbors in the Pemberton Heights area! Whether you have just moved to the area, or have been here a while, a group of neighbors would like to host a newcomers (and old timers) lunch each month. We are dedicated to introducing residents to our neighborhood and sharing the opportunity to meet and make new friends, whether you are brand new to the neighborhood, been here a few years ( like me) or are a third generation resident ( like Molly). WHERE AND WHEN:
The initial date is the second Wednesday of each month. At 11:45 at Russell’s at Kerby Lane. COST:
The only cost to join is the lunch you select from the menu. Each attendee will pay for their own meal by separate check. All neighbors are invited to attend and get to know each other. Your hosts in March will be Betty Trent, Tina Weinberger and Molly Dougherty. CONTACT:
Betty Trent at betty@austinarchplus.com if you would be interested in attending or just look for us at the table with a sign.
• Triangle Parks, 60.7% • MoPAC Improvements, 59.6% • PHNA Organization, 48.7% • Social Functions, 42.9% These and any other issues will be addressed at the committee level, so I encourage all of you to contact the committee responsible for your issue, and get involved. Fred Robinson, AIA President
