It’s Annual Voluntary Dues Time!
As mentioned during the PNA monthly meeting, it is annual voluntary dues time. An annual voluntary contribution of at least $1.00 per person or $2.00 per household is greatly appreciated. (Bigger donations are always welcome!) These funds help defray the costs associated with our Neighborhood Association activities. Please contact the PNA Treasurer at pinckney.neighborhood@gmail.com to arrange drop off of dues, or mail a check to: PO Box 125, Lawrence, KS 66044. Thank you!
