PNA Newsletters

The PNA newsletter will be published 3 to 4 times each year.  In addition, a large postcard is often published before a big neighborhood gathering, such as the annual potluck picnic or the trunk-or-treat. Each mailing will be distributed to residents of the neighborhood as well as local businesses and organizations.  A PDF version of the newsletters and posters will also published on this site.

Why PNA Mails a Paper Copy of the Newsletter

We’re often asked why we continue to mail the newsletter to people who have signed up for the PNA e-mail list.  We do so because of the mobile nature of residents in the Neighborhood – we want to make sure everyone who lives in or cares about Pinckney Neighborhood gets a copy of the newsletter, even if they have recently moved or changed their e-mail address.  While this is expensive – almost $1,000 per edition – we believe this is the best way to make sure everyone get important Neighborhood information and stays connected.

• Changing our Neighborhood Name

  Our neighborhood name of “Pinckney” was recently changed to “Pinkney.” This change occurred because Pinckney with a ‘c’ was associated with Charles Cotesworth Pinckney, a Revolutionary War general who signed the Constitution and who also was a slaveholder who believed slavery was fundamental to the American way of life (he owned a large plantation in South Carolina). Given this problematic history, neighborhood residents voted to change our neighborhood name. To learn more about the year-long process, go to our dedicated webpage. The final round of voting ultimately landed on the name of “Pinkney” in honor of William Pinkney, who gave a famous anti-slavery speech in 1789.
