There's talk of planning the 2014 block party. This requires a 3 month lead time to get the permit. Historically the event has been in September (though we missed 2013).  

Stay tuned. Leave a comment if you are reading, or if you want to get involved ...

Friends,

The Carroll Street/PPW Block Association's annual block party is this Sunday, Sept. 19th. The day will be filled with fun activities for kids and adults alike. Come join us!


The street will be closed to traffic and parking beginning at 7:30 am, so be sure to move your car or risk being towed.

From 10 am to 2 pm we will have the "Awesomest-Ever Stoop Sale/Flear Market" under and around the tent.

From 2-2:30 we will have a 9-11 Memorial tree planting.

From 2:30-5:30 there will be Kids Fun and Games, including a bike and scooter decorating station, bubbles, punching balloons and sidewalk chalk.

At 5:30, the kids dinner begins with pizza, juice and movie popcorn for a $5 suggested donation

From 6-9 p.m., the adults will enjoy a Potluck dinner. Please sign up for a dish to bring on the clipboard on the door at 857 Carroll Street.

From 6:30-8, we will be showing an outdoor movie on the side of the tent. Throughout the day, kids are invited to vote on their choice of movie.

From 8-9, live music.

This is my first entry to our block association blog. I would like all of us to become familiar with this vehicle so that we can better communicate with each other on any issues of importance or interest as a member of our Carroll street PPW block association

Block Party Saturday, Sept. 26th

Don't forget to save the date for the Carroll Street/PPW annual fall block party. The day will start with a blockwide stoop sale and include games and activities for kids and a potluck dinner that evening. Please leave a comment if you'd like to help with the planning of this special event or if you have any suggestions. We look forward to seeing you there!

September 26 -- SAVE THE DATE!

The Block Association planning committee has chosen Saturday, September 26 for our Annual Block Party; and we are considering expanding it this year to include a sit down pot luck dinner following a fun filled day of classic Brooklyn street games, activities and stoop sales. Please save the date.

It is our desire to have all families and children share in both the day's festivities and the dinner. In order to give our day a more festive and formal feel and to protect us against bad weather, we are thinking of using some remaining Block Association funds to rent a tent. Estimates received so far are about $600.00 for the tent for the day. We will be sending an email shortly asking you to vote on whether we should procure a tent for the block party -- once we have updated our email list.

We ask that you help us expand and update our email list, so we can communicate more effectively with everyone. Please print and fill out the form below if you wish to receive communications from the association and either drop it off at Bill Lawrence's home at 857 Carroll or email it to him at wlawrence@pipeline.com.

Anyone who is interested in helping out with the block party, please speak up. More volunteers on the planning committee would be deeply appreciated. Please also pass this on to anyone you think might want to be added to our block association mailing list.
