We attended a Bandaid Pull at the FastCare located in the Pasadena
Giant Store. Delegate Nic Kipke, County Councilman Derek Fink,
Sara Gannon representing County Executive Steve Schuh, and PBA
Vice President Jerry Nicklow from Huff Insurance presented
citations. We did not have a ribbon cutting as usual but they pulled
off the bandaid. FastCare from Anne Arundel Medical Center brings
you convenient care by nurse practitioners certified in family health. You don’t have to be an AAMC patient - just someone who wants the help fast. Healthcare at the speed of life, 443-481-5777 • AAMCFastCare.org

PBA helped Maureen Ford, Alibi’s Bar & Grill celebrate her one year Anniversary with a Ribbon Cutting. We had a great crowd for the celebration. Delegate Nic Kipke, Sara Gannon from the County Executive’s Office, Patrick Mulford from County Councilman Derek Fink’s office, and Jerry Nicklow, (Huff Insurance) PBA Vice President presented citations to Maureen. We also presented a citation for Sheriff Ron Bateman. Alibi’s is a completely renovated local vintage neighborhood Bar & Restaurant serving beer, wine and liquor along with having an extensive menu. Maureen’s staff had a great display of the food they offer and it was a great time for all who attended. Come in for a visit…. “Everyone has an Alibi.”

Join the rest of the community as we continue this fun tradition on Tuesday, December1st (7:00pm) in Lake Shore Plaza (in front of Arundel Federal Savings Bank) for the lighting ceremony of Pasadena’s “official” Christmas Tree. The event will feature a special visit from Santa and his magic sleigh, fire apparatus, Christmas carolers, face painting, and more. In addition, the Tree Lighting Ceremony will support the PBA’s “A Child’s Christmas” gift drive, and we will be accepting cash and unwrapped gift donations to put under the tree. These gifts go to local Pasadena children in need.

PBA is looking for local WWII veterans to be the Grand Marshals in our 20th Annual Caring & Sharing Parade. We want to acknowledge the 70th Anniversary of the ending of WWII. We will provide the transportation in the parade. If the veteran needs someone to ride with them we can accommodate that also. If interested please contact Lisa Hart, Arundel Federal Savings Bank, 410-787-3850.

Save the date for the PBA‘s 5th Annual Veteran’s Day Flag Ceremony on November 11th at 1:00pm. The memorial flag is located at the intersection of Mountain Road and Rt. 100. Parking is provided at Lake Shore Athletic Complex on Woods Road. After you enter the park proceed .6 of a mile to the pathway to the flag. We will post signs to direct you. We will provide transportation for those who cannot walk the path. Come out and show your support for the men and women who did and do protect this country!

As the weather started to cool off in September, things at the PBA started heating up. September was just a great month to be a part of the PBA. I had the great pleasure of welcoming several businesses to the PBA and our community. We had ribbon cuttings at:

· Affordable Basement Waterproofing – Welcome Laura Gratton and Michael Garvey.
· Bayside Barber Shop – Welcome Arianna Patterson (Owner) and Kim Gaspari & Patty Doris (Barbers)
· Anne Arundel Medical Center – FastCare
· Alibi’s Bar and Grill – Congratulations to Maureen Ford on her one year anniversary!

And other networking opportunities included a mixer at Primo Pasta which also raised money for the PBA Scholarship Fund, and the annual golf tournament at Compass Pointe. So as you can see, the PBA provides great opportunities for our businesses to get out and mix and mingle and to get great value out of the investment you make in your membership. As with all of the other investments we make into our businesses, the more effort you put into it, the better results you will get out of it. So take a look at the upcoming events and get yourself out to an event or better yet, ask to be a part of the event as we always welcome folks who are willing to help make our events bigger and better for everyone. So I’ll see you out there!
