B HCA Friends and Neighbors, So very much has happened since our last newsletter and all of it is a result of the wonderful volunteers your Association is blessed to have. While there are still a few swimming pool memberships available for 2019 season, the cap has nearly been reached. If you are thinking of joining, now is the time. Next, the spring park clean-up effort was supported by a multitude of volunteers ranging in age from 5 to 75. A special thanks to Craig Campbell for leading that effort. If you have driven by the park lately, you might have noticed the start of a Scout Eagle Project by Cyle Wolfe that will result in replacement of poles as a barrier to prevent parking on private property. Thanks to two young volunteers (Lauren Smathers and Ben Tabor), the Annual Easter Egg Hung in the Park went off perfectly. You can tell it is a good time when the kids return gleefully to the par- ent after each egg is found. Under the continued leader- ship of Tom Dixon, and assisted by Craig Campbell and a host of Board Members, the annual spring Picnic in the Park and Parade was a huge success despite the threat of bad weather. BHCA wants to thank all of the parade participants and the County Sheriff’s support. Events like these simply cannot exist without community support and volunteerism. Braddock Heights is so fortunate in that respect. We are excited about the Frederick Little League’s receipt of a $30,000 grant to spruce up our baseball field. Much work was done last year and early this year in fixing a crumbling wall, refitting the backstop, fixing bleachers and some earth- work. The grounds committee will work with the Little League in determining priorities for the field. Finally, I want to thank Will Wood for leading the Pool Committee and directing the effort to open the pool on 25 May. The pool will be equipped with an AED located just outside the exit/entry point (poolside). This is a result of exhaustive research and discussions led by Marguerite Wilson and Jim Lautenberger. Also, we will implement the first phase of a new entry procedure that is computer based. While we don’t expect any glitches; however, as with any new procedure or system, there is always that chance. Caroline Milam has spent endless hours on this project and we thank her for her diligence and dedication. We look forward to seeing many of you at the pool and park. We are hopeful you will enjoy the outstanding work by your elected Board Members and Pool Committee members – they are all volunteers! We could always use more.
