Bannockburn Community

The 2024 Music Festival schedule is LIVE! Can’t wait to see you on Sept 28 at the clubhouse!

This Friday!! Feb 16!

We have another great musical event coming at you on Saturday the 24th!

**Newcomers is postponed to Saturday, October 28th @ 7:00PM**

We've heard from several new neighbors that the coming storm has complicated their childcare arrangements. Given that challenge, and potential limitations on keeping windows and doors open due to driving rain, we've decided to postpone our Newcomers Welcome celebration until late October. The drinks & dessert set-up will remain unchanged. We hope to see you then!

The Music Festival planning committee is disappointed to announce that we are canceling the musical portion of this weekend’s events due to the expected rain. However, the Newcomers Celebration will continue as planned!

The music festival is next weekend! Who are you most excited to see??

BCC Members: Ticket pre-sale link & info is in your inbox now!

Join us at the clubhouse on Friday night (11/18) to kick off the holiday season with a round of BYO wassail with friends and neighbors! See you from 7-9 pm

Today's focus for the 75th anniversary weekend is Saturday's music festival! Check the schedule to see when your favorite band is playing!

75th Anniversary Update!

THE GOOD NEWS

We're more than half way to our goal of $7,500 to cover the spacious and dry tent for Bannockburn's 75th Anniversary celebration on September 24th & 25th! Thanks to the 36 families who have given generously so far to get us over the halfway mark.

THE BAD NEWS

We still need $3,275 to cover the cost of the tent!

We KNOW that more than the 36 families who've given so far plan to attend the Anniversary celebration. Are you one? Can you give? Every donation counts and gets us toward our goal!

This is *our* celebration for *our* community and no one else is going to swoop in and pay for it. It's up to all of us to contribute our share, and we can count our lucky stars that our wise and dedicated Anniversary Committee had the foresight to reserve a tent months ago, before the delta variant started circulating and everyone decided to move their fall events outdoors again.

GIVE NOW

Please GIVE TODAY to help us pitch a big tent for our party!

And if you've already given, consider posting to your social media feed to reach community members who aren't on this email list.

Pitch a Big Tent to Celebrate Bannockburn's 75th Anniversary! Chip in to help us safely gather on September 24th and 25th for a fun, free weekend celebrating Bannockburn past and present.

Imagine the clubhouse parking lot like this...

Buffalo’s first, code approved grass parking lot at Five Points Bakery is one year old today.
It can absorb 3” of rainfall keeping water out of our storm sewers.
It reduces heat island effect, provides habitat for insects, helps mitigate global warming by converting carbon dioxide into oxygen, looks nicer for our neighbors, helps to filter the water to keep our oceans cleaner. its cheaper than concrete, stronger than asphalt, and so much more.
We are so happy and thankful to be able to keep pioneering in Buffalo.
More to come!
