Just what do
you get for your $10.00 annual dues?
The continuing beautification programs
(i.e.: median landscaping, planting and care) require many, many volunteered
hours. We as residents appreciate the efforts of those individuals
that take their time, labor and expertise to make our coming and going
a pleasing experience.
Each February your Civic League hosts a
Potluck Dinner where neighbors can break winter's chill with warm greetings
to old and new friends. There is always a big stack of door prizes
to be given away.
Just before Easter our volunteers organize
the annual Egg Hunt at the park for the kids. Your dues pay for the
treats and prizes given out.
Late spring is time for Movie Night at
our Pembroke Cinema Cafe. The Civic League buys tickets for your
whole family and springs for popcorn too!
Don't forget about National Night Out on
the first Tuesday in August. The party is at the Pembroke Meadows
Recreation Center (The Pool) with pizza and soft drinks provided by your
Civic League and lots of special dishes brought by volunteers.
Our Halloween walk has become legend, and
your dues help to pay for the park party and games. Volunteers do
all of the work to plan, decorate, set up refreshments, control traffic
and assure safe arrival from beginning to end. We need more volunteers.
November is time for the ever-popular Wine,
Cheese and Beer event for adults, just in time to get into the holiday
spirit. Adult beverages furnished by your Civic League and lots of
tasty snacks brought by volunteers.
A new addition to our event line-up is
the mid-December Caroling Cavalcade. Neighbors walk and sing their
way through our streets to the Pool for warm refreshments.
Your dues cover the cost of printing the
periodic Civic League newsletter which is delivered to Pembroke neighborhood
homes by volunteers. The newsletter keeps us informed of community
news and activities.
Civic League meetings keep you informed
and give you a chance to meet and greet your neighbors.
We help sponsor the Neighborhood Watch
Program, contribute to the Garden Club and provide financial assistance
to the Pembroke Meadows Recreation Center (The Pool) and other activities.
We are a busy group indeed.
Why do I need
to be part of the Civic League?
This year more than ever we need volunteers
to help with all our activities. We have fewer volunteers than in
the past. Whether you assist with organizing, help decorate, bring
a tasty dish to share, pass out treats, pick up trash while walking or
simply greet new neighbors, there is plenty to do. These events all
require willing volunteers to make them happen.
We have a lovely community and we should
each take pride and responsibility to keep it a wonderful place to live. |
