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.
