Our annual neighborhood holiday gathering took place at Penn Ave Baptist Church on Tuesday, Dec 9th 2025. 2025 was a very tough year for many in our neighbor and surrounding communities. However, many Penn Brancher neighbors came out for food, fellowship, and some good neighborly cheer.
Annual Community Service Awards
Council Member Wendell Felder join us and he assisted with our annual community service awards. Kyle Murphy and Stefanie Clyburn Received “Penn Branch Neighbors of the Year Award” for their “Penn Branch Cares Campaign.” The campaign was a largest membership drive in years. Funds were used to give sympathy gift baskets and discounted water park tickets for families that experienced job loss due to the federal government cuts. Later that evening, Historian and Tour Guide, Jim Byers, was honored for hosting the neighborhood Walking Tour in Hillcrest and Penn Branch for 29 Years.
