Truly a Very Special “Feel Good Night!

Federal Hill Park

Annual Holiday Tree Lighting

It was windy… It was chilly…It was a school night… But none of these significant factors served to deter an enthusiastic group that numbered well over a hundred neighbors and friends from gathering for a fabulous, evening of family fun starting with the Annual Tree Lighting in Federal Hill Park

South Baltimore Recreation Center Director Josh Fissel conducted a group of neighborhood kids through a repertoire of carols much to everyone’s delight. Thanks for serenading us Josh! Rec Center Kids

Senator George Della, Delegates Peter Hammen and Brian McHale and Councilman Bill Cole were also kind enough to attend and share some Holiday Cheer

Santa Officer Kevin Vaught did double duty as Santa dispensing healthy holiday treats.

Anna of Trattoria Annamaria delivered a couple of platters of delicious Italian Holiday cookies. Thanks to Anna and the staff at the absolute best Italian Grocery in South Baltimore – really! How lucky we are to be your neighbors.

Tony and Clark from the Hill supplied warm mulled wine and hot chocolate (made from real dark cocoa) to help revelers take the chill off.

Our terrific Southern District Police Precinct Major Scott Bloodsworth flipped the light switch on these years Holiday Tree in the Park. Sergeant Eric Kowalczyk and South District Police Community Council President Jack Baker provided able support.

The Tree will remain lit every night through December 30^th.

A Personal Note

Illusionist Spencer Horseman created some magic as he mingled, but as things began to wind down I began to realize that the real magic happened when great neighbors put aside their differences and just enjoyed each other’s company.

Hope you’re surrounded by the warmth of being with the ones you care for most this Holiday Season.

My very best wishes to you and yours!

Federal Hill Neighborhood Association

The festive atmosphere moved indoors at the neighborhood’s newest restaurant -The Hill (1015 S. Charles).

Everyone was blown away by the great spread waiting there courtesy of Chef Antoine Petteway and his staff. A huge thank you to them and partner Clark Hudeck for hosting in style.

Thanks also to neighbor Len Homer for sharing the pictures you see here. We’ll have lots more in the January issue of the HillSider.&nbsp
; The vibe was just incredible.

Finally thanks to every one of you who supported this event by buying a ticket to the Party and contributing to the FHNA Seniors Holiday Gift Fund. Your caring contribution will make a lot folks feel a whole lot more loved this year.

To all of you who have already purchased your tickets online, I can not thank you enough.

FHNA set a goal of selling a minimum of 100 tickets to raise just $1,500 to offset the cost of both events. We aren’t there yet, so we need all our neighbors to help.

Please go online and contribute by purchasing at least one $15 ticket. Give the ticket to a friend if you can not or do not wish to attend.

Help FHNA to keep making this event bigger and better each and every year.

Apart from supporting a great event that all of us can enjoy, a portion of the proceeds from the Party at The Hill will be donated to purchase Holiday Gifts for our neighbors who might not otherwise be able to participate in the spirit of the season.

Here’s a chance to do good while taking advantage of a great deal!

Join the fun starting at 7pm on Tuesday December 15^th.

Thanks and Happy Holidays!

A Personal Note:

I hate spam – even more than junk mail. Spam is an intrusion. It always strikes me that the sender has some nerve thinking that the most important thing I have on my priorities list is his or her attempt to sell me something. So, please believe me when I say that this e-mail is not intended to hype you.

Maximum occupancy at the Hill is 100. Do the math – If this event is successful ticket sales will only total $1500 a mere fraction of the cost of closing any restaurant for a private party. HillSider advertising must cover the remaining costs, and businesses always do less advertising in a bad economy. So, we’re asking each FHNA Member to go online and sign up for at least one ticket. Give the ticket to a friend if you can not attend.

FHNA does no fund raising. While this may have to change, the fact is that your annual dues and HillSider advertisers underwrite the cost of many special events for the benefit of all of our neighbors including the annual 4th of July Parade, the Annual Holiday Tree Lighting in Federal Hill Park, and FHNA’s annual contributions to the Women’s Shelter at Christ Lutheran Church Center, the Southern District Police Community Relations Council, and to purchase Holiday Gifts for neighbors who need a hand, among others.

This year, FHNA decided to celebrate the Holidays by celebrating the generosity of our fabulous neighbors with a bigger than ever family-oriented event on Tuesday December 15th. We did our best to offer a great value for your dollar.

So, please consider making a small contribution to help defray the costs of this event by going online for your advance ticket today. Then join the fun on December 15th .

Thank you and Happy Holidays!
