Moss Bradley Residential Association Annual Awards

August 23, 2017 / Comments Off on Moss Bradley Residential Association Annual Awards / Posted in: Moss Bradley Residential Association, September Newsletter 2017

At the Annual Membership Meeting and Potluck Dinner held in May, MBRA members recognized individuals who have or are making a difference in our neighborhood through their time commitment or improvement of their property. Two awards have been established to recognize such individuals: Volunteer of the Year and MBRA Beautification Award.

The Volunteer of the Year Award was established to recognize an individual for their record of involvement not only within Moss Bradley but also for community involvement which serves the interests of the neighborhood.

The Awards Committee was pleased to announce the 2016/17 recipients of the Volunteer of the Year Award were Ed Tarbuck and Joann Bannon.

The MBRA Beautification Award was established to recognize homeowners that have made exterior improvements or have maintained their property in a manner that has enhanced the appearance of the property and of the surrounding neighborhood.

The Awards Committee was pleased to announce the 2016/17 recipient of the MBRA Beautification Award was Wayne Johnson.

Congratulations to all three recipients as they are truly deserving of these recognition’s.

The President’s Message

Baseball, Neighborhoods and Opinions

I love baseball…..played a lot, coached some and have always been a fan. The rules of the game at first glance appear simple, but the complications surface when special situations occur. For instance in last years World Series Game three an apparent double play at home plate by Boston became the winning run scored by a St Louis base runner on an obstruction call on the Boston third baseman. The ruling is seldom seen, but the rules are clear and fair. The call was correct by the umpires. The rules were interpreted correctly and the integrity of the game was maintained.

Transfer this to our neighborhood. Part of Moss-Bradley is a “Historic District”, and has special rules to abide by. All residents, organizations and businesses must abide by these rules. The rules must prevail to protect the integrity of the Historic District no matter what the need, situation or organization…..Just my opinion!

A special shout out THANK YOU TO A.M.T. and especially Bethany Hirst for the special service of helping get the hard copy newsletter printed and mailed each month. Thank you Bethany and A.M.T.
