Happy New Year!

Penn Branch Community Association is looking for a few good people to join our executive board. Most of our current members have served multiple consecutive terms and deserve the opportunity to pass the torch.

We are all extremely busy. However, the survival of our neighborhood association depends on us having a consistent pipeline of smart, reliable leaders. 

This month marks the beginning of my final year as president of PBCA. I’m truly grateful for this experience over the past three years—and I’m still excited about what is to come. We will continue to focus on bringing value in your membership, increasing our connection as neighbors and with the greater Ward 7 community, and also improving our public spaces. We will also continue our push to make 9/11 Memorial Park a small but significant cultural landmark East of the River. You can still make a contribution by purchasing a memorial paver in honor of a beloved neighbor, your family, or your favorite Ward 7 organization. 

Now, more than ever, it is critical that we all refocus our energy and resources on improving where we actually live. Too often, we give our all to places, people, and organizations that are based elsewhere. Penn Branch needs your continued support. We need your membership. We need your participation and ideas. 

And most importantly, we need your service.

Take care,

Paul Grant, President, PBCA
