PBA Update

Sandi Parrish

Our 2019–2020 Membership Directory and Community Guide is printed, and many of our PBA businesses have them. Please pick one up for free and check it out. This is a great way to shop local and give back to the businesses that support our community. If you are looking for goods or services, you will find everything you need in the directory.

The PBA needs your support. We are holding our 16th annual golf tournament on September 11 at Compass Pointe Golf Courses. We need golfers to make this a success and provide funds for our community assistance events. This tournament is open to the public and event proceeds will benefit the PBA community assistance projects, which include the fifth-grade straight A lunch, school supply drive, Educational Excellence Awards, Veterans Day ceremony, tree lighting ceremony, A Child’s Christmas, Caring & Sharing Parade, Friends of Downs Park donation, Friends of Hancock’s Resolution, National Night Out, the flag site at Route 100 and Mountain Road, and new flags.

Please bring your family, friends and employees to have a fun day on the golf course with the PBA. We will have a light breakfast, hot dogs on the turn, and a picnic lunch of sausage and peppers, pulled pork, coleslaw, baked beans and dessert catered by Cheshire Crab.

If you don’t play golf, you can purchase a tee sign or donate a prize for the golfers to promote your business. This is a great event to help the PBA give back to the veterans, the schools and the community.

PBA will have a ribbon cutting for the grand opening of Icon Beauty Lounge on August 29 at 5:00pm. The business will have a grand opening celebration from 10:00am to 7:00pm. Icon Beauty Lounge is located at 25 Magothy Beach Road, Suite 201. Stop in and welcome the team to the Pasadena business community.

Our annual crab feast will be on Wednesday, September 25, at Kurtz’s Beach from 6:00pm to 10:00pm. This is a great social event for family, coworkers and friends. You can purchase tickets on the website or mail a check to PBA, PO Box 861, Pasadena, MD 21123. Soon, we will announce locations in the area where people can purchase tickets.

Please check our website, pasadenabusinessassociation.com, for upcoming events like the trade show (always the second Thursday in October), Caring & Sharing Parade, (always the first Sunday in November), Veterans Day ceremony (always on Veterans Day), and the tree lighting ceremony (always the first Tuesday in December).

Remember to shop local whenever possible. Local businesses support our community.
