Last Saturday, 38 volunteers from HDRA, including this group fueling up with coffee before heading out, helped to clean up the community by participating in the quarterly Clean Sweep event and picking up 40 bags of trash!

What a great time at the HDRA social at the Old Pinnix last night! Lots of friends, lots of catching up, lots of stories (mostly true), lots of laughs (and lots of drinks and toast from the always awesome Old Pinnix staff).

Historic district resident (and HDRA member) Fran Hughes received the Citizen of the Year Award from the Education Department of the New Bern Woman’s Club!

Fran was recognized for her incredible community involvement, including her work with Bike MS as a board member and team captain of Team Yardnique which raised over $82,000 this year, the swim coach of the master program at the YMCA, the initiator of the Girls on the Run Program at JT Barber Elementary School, and a board member of Rooted Interiors – a program to furnish the homes of people emerging from homelessness.

In honor of her well-deserved award, the Woman’s Club donated two books (of Fran’s choice) and a check for $200 to the library in Fran’s name. In the photo, she is accepting her award from Woman’s Club (and HDRA) member MJ Woika.

Last night, there was a great turnout of HDRA members and others to discuss their thoughts on the HPC's procedures and standards at a charrette-style meeting at the Stanley White Community Center. It was the first step in the process to update both the procedures and standards.

There will be a second meeting (with the same format and questions) on Monday, November 10 from 1:00 to 3:00 at the West New Bern Recreation Center (1225 Pine Tree Drive).

You can also complete an on-line survey regarding the HPC and the HPC update (the survey will remain open until the end of November).
