Happy anniversary Pine Oaks!
No, it�s not the community�s birthday, though that is coming up. Rather, this issue marks the one-year anniversary of the Pine Oaks Community Newsletter. I want to thank everyone involved, including Melissa Landreth and Fred Muldoon, for all their hard work. It truly is a labor of love, probably the third highest of my life behind my marriage to Tom and my work with the Caring Wishes Foundation. You all deserve a big round of applause, though if you do that you may drop the newsletter. So make sure you don�t start applauding until you�re in your own home, or until you cover the mud on the ground with some cardboard or perhaps construction paper.
Now that that�s out of the way, I want to turn my attention to Founder�s Day, coming up on August. Now, normally we have a Founder�s Day Committee chairperson in charge of the festivities. However, my chairpersonage went so well last year that I�ve decided I�d continue the tradition by starting a new one! From now on, the Pine Oaks Community Board President will also serve as Founder�s Day Committee chair. And this year, that means me!
So I�d like to announce a few changes. First of all, there will be no concert this year. Not only because the only band who�s accepted our invitation so far is a Rembrandts cover band called Sons of Picasso, but also because the local hospital�s burn ward has informed is that they don�t have the space to accommodate any possible Founder�s Day victims. Second, there will also be no parade, since again, the only people willing to march were the Sons of Picasso. So we�ll just have our annual Founder�s Day dinner, with catering by The French Bread Connection. I know there are many fine restaurants here in Pine Oaks, but I thought I�d bring in the F.B.C. for their elegant fine sandwiches and French bread wraps. This year�s speaker will be a series of local schoolchildren reading from their assigned essays, �What Pine Oaks Means to Me.�
