P4304871.jpgComing up this weekend: PPD #3, Saturday August 17, 6PM at 113 Bonner then at 8PM the party moves to 17 Johnson.

Coming in September: PPD #4, Saturday September 24, 6PM at 623 Oak, then at 8PM to 216 Park Drive.

We LOVE our PPD’s in South Park! That is, our special party format, Porch, Deck & Patio parties. As you know, we have a great diversity of homes in our neighborhood, so every party is different. But everyone is invited. You don’t have to be a homeowner, just show up with a dish to share and $5. Beverages are provided (beer, water and soft drinks). Sometimes, there is music! But all the time there is socializing. It’s your job to introduce yourself to new people, get to know them and welcome them to the neighborhood. And make new friends! You’ll always meet someone interesting in South Park, so don’t be shy.
