neighborhood news 1

Dear neighbors,
I haven't written for some time - happy springtime to you! Attached is a newsletter from Charlie - a teenager in the 'hood who chairs a very active environmental club. Please read for some ideas for helping the environment that you can do.

I'm also writing to propose a meeting on Tuesday, April 8th to discuss a warm weather party and entryway projects and anything else going on the 'hood. Can you attend a meeting from 7:30 to 8:30 to help plan a party? Remember, we will only do this if enough interest and participation is shown for the planning meeting first! Good parties take some work to prepare. I will look forward to hearing from you!

Thank you,
Carol Pfister

Good morning, neighbors!
I just wanted to report that we had a delightful progressive dinner on the weekend! We had about 38 people come, including several new neighbors. As always, we all came away feeling like we live in a great place with the nicest people. (:  We missed those of you who couldn't come - hopefully we can catch you next year.

There was a lot of talk about having a warm weather/ backyard party this year. I'm willing to start the organizing of one but I will need a committee to do most of the work. I have a son graduating from HS this year so my spring time will be extra busy! Please watch for a notice of a meeting in late March or April to plan this event. We have also had a suggestion of meeting with a speaker about gardening which we can talk about at that time too. You know, this group is called the GK garden club...we used to do some garden type events. I would love to get back to our "roots" again. (:

One other suggestion from the dinner was forming a book club! Please let me know if you would be interested in joining a group. Or if there are some clubs existing in the 'hood, let me know that too so we can help each other.

Thanks and enjoy our warm weather this week...spring is coming!

Dear neighbors,
Isn't the weather this week amazing? Such extremes...hope your basement isn't flooding today. Please see the note copied below from a neighbor who needs gutter repair - we all may after this storm! Please respond directly to him if you can help.

Don't forget that our progressive dinner is coming right up on March 1! I need to know soon if you are able to come - please drop me an email to let me know. If you are struggling to find a babysitter, please don't let that stop you - we can try to coordinate those needs. We have about 30 people coming so far...there is plenty of room for more. We always have such a good time meeting new friends and re-connecting with old ones. I especially need hosts for the evening but you can also come and just bring a food item. Talk to your friends and come join us!

Thanks,
Carol Pfister 215-661-8775




Can you check to see if anyone has used a Gutter & Downspout Repairman they were pleased with.  Thanks!

neighborhood news - dinner

Dear neighbors,
I got lots of emails about my attachment not opening today. I'm not quite sure what happened but it looks like one of the emails went out with the wrong document anyway so here is Take #2! This is a Word document. I've attached the full copy of the flyer and also copied the text into the email below...just in case. Seems like it is getting harder and harder to send pictures or attachments in email these days...its a shame. Let me know if this doesn't work either...
Looking forward to hearing from you about the progressive dinner!
Thank you,
Carol Pfister

You are invited to share an evening of good food and company with your neighbors at the Annual Gwynedd Knoll Progressive Dinner. The theme this year is Presidential Elections. Think of favorite campaign slogans, past Presidents and candidates, all American food, and red, white and blue!  Please set aside Saturday, March 1 starting at 6PM.

If you have not had the opportunity to attend in previous years, here is how it works:  We meet at one home for appetizers, we then divide into groups of 8-12 for the dinner entrée in different neighborhood homes, after the entree we all come together again at one home for dessert. It is a tremendous way to chase away the winter doldrums, reconnect with neighbors, and meet those new to the neighborhood.

 
If you volunteer your home to host one of the gatherings, you don't have to supply food. Those not hosting will be asked to provide an appetizer, dessert, entrée, or side dish to be brought to one of the host homes the day of the dinner. Entrée and side dish recipes will be provided for the cooks.  Everyone brings their own choice of drink.

 
Carol Pfister will be coordinating the Progressive Dinner. Please contact Carol at (215)-661-8775 or e-mail her at (gwyneddknoll@gmail.com) to reserve your spot for this wonderful evening no later than February 21.  We especially need people to host the entrée part of the evening. You would be seating 8 to 10 people. We will also need an appetizer and dessert host –usually that is 40 to 50 people.

Dear neighbors,
Attached is a flyer with the first plans for this year's Progressive dinner. Please read it over and let me know that you can come and what you like to bring or do. Since this is a presidential election year, we thought it would be fun to make that our theme. So be thinking red, white and blue. Maybe we can even dress up as our favorite candidate or past president!

I need a few helpers....first someone to make copies of the flyer, then walkers to distribute the paper flyers this week. I also need a few people to work on the food recipes. Looking forward to seeing you on March 1!

Thanks,
Carol Pfister

Hi Neighbors,

 

    I have a 30+ year old spinnet piano which I wish to find a good home for-- it is in good condition and would be excellent for anyone with children taking lessons. If you wish to take a look at it please call judy masiak at 215-699-8843. Thanks.
