December General Membership Meeting

Our December General Membership meeting was held at the new Mutiny Pirate Bar & Island Grille on Magothy Beach Road. We are so happy to have them in Pasadena. Thanks to Rob and the staff for a great day and hosting the meeting. Bess Clark, Coterie a Boutique, talked about ways to promote your business as a small business owner. Thanks to Bess for taking the time to share her experiences with the members. It was a very inspirational talk. 

_______________________________________________ 

Your 2018 Membership dues are due. Invoices were emailed in early December and mailed in mid- December. To request another invoice please send Sandi an email. All members pay dues now, no matter when you joined. Dues are prorated when you join with full dues due on January 1. 


FEBRUARY GENERAL MEMBERSHIP MEETING

Wednesday, February 7, 2018, Noon
Beefalo Bobs
8015 Ft. Smallwood Road 

$18.00 with reservation by Friday, February 2, 2018 (covers buffet and non-alcoholic beverages) $23.00 if reserving after Friday, February 2, 2018

Speaker: Anne Arundel Planning and Zoning Office will be discussing the development of the County’s next General Development Plan. GDPs, which are done every eight to ten years, result in updated landuse and zoning maps that guide development in the County. Thus, it affects what land may be developed and for what purposes. Do don’t pass up this opportunity to tell the County what is important to Pasadena and our County. Here is a link you might find useful:

You can pay in advance for the luncheons or mixers by mailing your check to PBA, PO Box 861, Pasadena, MD 21123-0861, or you can register and pay on the website by credit card, or you can email your reservation to Sandi and pay at the door by cash or check.

Please make every attempt to reserve your space for the meetings so they know how much food to prepare. 

MEMBERSHIP DIRECTORY AND COMMUNITY GUIDE

What a great way to get your business name out to possible customers for pennies and it remains out for one year. I have had members of the community tell me they use it as their yellow pages when looking for goods or services. We print and distribute 5,000 copies of our directory and have the community calling asking when the new issue will be available. The Membership Directory and Community Guide advertising and renewal information will be sent out in late January. If you had an ad in the previous directory you will receive an Advertising Renewal Statement and Ad Proof. You can simply sign the form and return with payment. If you wish to change to a larger size ad simply use the Advertising Rate form sign and return with your payment. You must provide a camera ready ad in a pdf. If you are new to the PBA and wish to advertise you will receive an Advertising Rate form to use. All dues and directory costs must be paid for your inclusion in the directory. There is a 10% late fee after February
28th and deadline to be included is March 31st.

A  Child's 
Christmas

Thank you to the sponsors of 30 families and 85 children. They were sponsored by 45 businesses or individuals (of which 19 were PBA members; the remaining 26 are community, school and Riviera Beach Volunteer Fire Co) We received cash donations from many who did not have the time to shop and they paid for food gift cards and gifts not sponsored.

We had 20 ham dinners donated by Pat’s Select that were distributed to the families along with bags of food collected from bins in businesses.

Ed Jefferson donated 8 bikes and the families were elated.

John Mason opened the doors at Kurtz’s to allow volunteers to wrap gifts.

Volunteers from Chesapeake cheerleading and football teams and Northeast National Honor Society wrapped gifts, along with a few college students who’ve been helping for many years, PBA Board Member Ruth Toomey, and Hailee Meeks (Sandi’s granddaughter).

A Child’s Christmas has been running this way since 2001. We would like to refresh the Christmas gift giving. Over the years, we’ve noticed more and more children being raised by grandparents. Therefore, next year we will redirect our focus to helping families in need who are being raised by grandparents.

TREE LIGHTING

We did it again! Despite again this year having to reschedule due to rain, this year’s Tree Lighting Ceremony on December 6th produced a huge turnout and was a wonderful success. The weather cooperated, the tree looked beautiful, and the crowd was in great spirits. We want to thank Doug Cashmere and his dynamite team at Ace Hardware for putting together this event and making it fun for everyone. We also want to thank all the local businesses who donated their time or services to making this year's Tree Lighting a success – Laura’s Eyes Photography, Mike Jacobs/JB Machine, Lake Shore and Riviera Beach Volunteer Fire Departments, The Gable Company, John Thomas (AKA Santa), The Greene Turtle Pasadena, Bay Country Rentals, Atlantic Coast Charters, DJ Marcus, Macaroni Kids Pasadena, St. John Properties, Eastern District Police and Reserve Officers, Mutiny Pirate Bar & Island Grille, Two Rivers Steak & Fish House, Bruster’s Ice Cream, Marco’s Pizza, and Ms. Waterproofer.

We want to thank County Executive Steve Schuh for lighting the PBA Christmas Tree this year.

CHRISTMAS PARTY MIXER


We had a fun Christmas Party Mixer at Cheshire Crab. There were over 50 members in attendance and as always the food was great. It was a fun, relaxing evening just socializing with our friends.
