    The Nominating Committee is pleased to announce that Elizabeth Ray has agreed to be our candidate for President of NSCNA. Elizabeth and her family have lived on Pinedale Cove since 2008. She’s served on the NSCNA Development Committee and has been active in the Math Pentathlon and the Trojan Youth Lacrosse Association. She’s a working mom and has been an information technology project manager for many years.

    We thank Elizabeth very much for agreeing to be our presidential candidate.

    Administrator

    Come out and celebrate the Season with Light.

    Neighbors are invited to take a break from all the hustle and bustle and come together to visit, walk, reflect…

    On Thursday, December 19 we will be lighting up the track at Pillow Elementary School with luminaries from 6-8pm for our Annual Luminaria Walk. Luminaries are white paper bags weighted down with sand and illuminated with tea light candles. It really is a beautiful event. We invite folk to create their own lanterns to bring and parade around the track. We will enjoy cookies and hot cocoa as well.

    We look forward to neighbors, students and families coming together at this festive event!

    Volunteers are still needed to help with set up and clean up.
    Please contact Amelia Cobb at akhcobb@gmail.com or 364-5519 if you can help at any of the following shifts:
    4-5:30pm Assemble the luminaries and place around the track
    5:30-6pm Lighting of the luminaria
    8-9pm Clean up

    Looking forward to seeing y’all there!
