Although the cold weather is keeping us indoors more than we'd like, we're using the time to plan all the good stuff we've got in store for 2025, including some of our favorite annual events!

We will announce dates as soon as they are confirmed but here's what you can look forward to in the coming months:

BHA Annual Meeting - An opportunity to hear from various leaders of your  neighborhood association, learn about our accomplishments and our plans for 2025, celebrate community service awardees, and ask any neighborhood-related questions.

Egg Hunt - An annual favorite tradition, taking place in Pierrepont Playground.  Email us if you'd like to help!

Spring into Service - Another great tradition that offers a variety of opportunities for our community members to give back in many ways.  Email us if you'd like to help out!

Montague Open Streets - We will continue to partner with the Department of Transportation and the Montague BID to activate Montague Street for folks shoping and strolling, builds community and supports our local businesses.  Events will include the BHA Dog Show and the Pickleball Open. Have ideas or want to participate?  Email us.

BHA Meet & Greets - We'll be hosting more of these in 2025. Meet & Greets are a lovely opportunity to get to know your neighbors, have casual conversations and ask questions BHA staff and board.

We are all inundated with emails and our social media feeds!

But with the holidays behind us and our "to-do" lists growing, we still find it helpful to hear directly from the people and organizations whose work impacts our neighborhood.  Here are some newsletters the BHA subscribes to that we think would also help you stay "in the know" for the coming year. 

And of course, you can follow any of these on Instagram as well:

Congress Member Dan Goldman

State Senator Andrew Gounardes

Assembly Member Jo Anne Simon

Borough President Antonio Reynoso

Council Member Lincoln Restler

Community Board 2 - This is government at its most local, with committees meeting to discuss everything from applications for new storefronts to park renovations.  All meetings are open to the public.
