A Cookies, Cider, and Caroling Party will be held on Saturday, December 11 from 3:00 to 5:00 at the house at Normandy Park for the holidays.

Supplies for the Luminaria Night will be on hand and available for purchase for the Luminaria Night on Dec 21.

At the last monthly meeting, we discussed possible SABA events to be held during the winter, especially in the spirit of the season.

The first event will be a Cookies, Cider, and Caroling Party on Saturday, December 11 from 3:00 to 5:00 at the house at Normandy Park. This will be a nice opportunity to get together with some neighbors to relax for a little while in the middle of holiday craziness. We will supply the cider and music. You simply bring a few dozen of your favorite cookies to share and some holiday cheer.

The Pantry is almost bare! Please remember to bring in items from the shopping list either on Sunday morning or during Food Pantry Hours. The Food Pantry served 170 people - representing 725 people - in the month of October. The Pantry keeps track of not only how many people come in to pick up food, but also how many people they have at home who benefit from it. Hours are Monday and Wednesday morning 9:30-11:30 and Thursday evening 6-8.

If you've ever walked by the section of Cobbs Creek that runs adjacent to the bus route right next to Chestnutwold and glanced down into the water, you've probably noticed all of the trash and thought to yourself "I wish someone would DO something about that!" Well, now you can! Grab your kids and come get DIRTY and help CLEAN out the creek! The Chestnutwold Elementary PTO and SABA are coordinating a creek clean-up. Meet us on the bus route next to the creek, right outside the basketball court, at 9a.m. on November 6th. For more information, contact Lisa Taglang at lisataglang@ymail.com or Patty Lindner at plindner@verizon.net.
