Happy New Year! 

We have committed to making some positive changes for our neighborhood in 2025. Hidden Park will see some transformation with a commitment of $10,000 from our savings. We are in the midst of obtaining bids for lawncare, and developing a long term plan for landscaping at the entrance and our parks. 

We will be hand-delivering dues notices to all homes later this month, and have updated the online dues form for 2025. We depend on dues to maintain our three parks, which make our neighborhood very desirable and set it apart from other neighborhoods in Hampden Township. Your small investment of $75/year is imperative to keeping our property values high.

On our website, you will see some reorganizing, as we made it easier to find current PBCA minutes and treasurer reports. 

For operations, the Board has obtained a post office box for paper correspondence:

Pine Brook Civic Association
P.O. Box 81
Camp Hill, PA 17011

We continue to have a PBCA drop box at 3828 Carriage House Dr. 

This allows us to share the responsibility for dues management, and allows us to have a consistent address for long term responsibilities, such as our insurance.

Our neighborhood is enriched by all of our great neighbors. If you have ideas or energy to share, please contact us!

For the PBCA Board, 

Lisa Keck, President

Over the weekend some of our neighbors enjoyed sledding and fun in the snow at Front Park! We appreciate this great hill to gather with neighbors and enjoy the snow! Thank you to PBCA Board member Ann Furr for the pictures. We'd love to have you add more pictures on Facebook:   https://www.facebook.com/pinebrookcivic

Pine Brook is a great neighborhood, with three parks that are maintained by the Pine Brook Civic Association. We depend on YOU to fund maintenance of Front Park, Hidden Park, and Pavilion Park.

Thank you, Pine Brook neighbors, for a wonderful 2023 Picnic! It was a great afternoon with a lot of sun! Did you know that as Board members and volunteers were setting up the picnic it was POURING on Carriage House and Candlelight? Pavilion Park got only about 10 minutes of that passing rain before the picnic started! Thank you to everyone who helped to organize this event especially Katie Azeles, Ann Furr, and Elyse Smeigh! The Bubble House was not able to set up, and we will have them for another event this fall!

Good Afternoon Pine Brook Neighbors,

The Picnic Committee wanted to say a huge thank you for everyone coming out yesterday on such a gorgeous day. The event was a success because of you. 

We want to especially thank Lisa Keck for running the registration table, Amy Wastler for sponsoring the Craft table and gift cards, Lisa Kissinger and Patricia Winesickle for face painting and Brad Perva for all his work to have the park ready to go for the event. Erin Teter we are grateful for your donation of the 50/50 prize! Thank you for also taking photographs for the event. In addition, thank you to our many other volunteers for the event,  we couldn't have hosted the event without you. 

We also had a great list of vendors, please reach out to us if you would like them to come out to your own event any time. 

Below are some picture and some of the drawings submitted today for the "What I love About Pine Brook" contest! Great job to all our participants! 

We look forward to many more neighborhood events in the future! 

Thank you,

Katie, Elyse and Ann
