See you Wednesday!

Our annual meeting is next Wednesday, March 11th at First Unitarian Church (119 Pierrepont Street).  The meeting will begin at 6:30 sharp and we are very excited to see many of you there.  As always, this meeting is free and open to the public.  We encourage you to attend to learn about our neighborhood priorities for 2026, how you can get involved, celebrate our Community Service Awardees and to get your burning questions answered during our Q&A session. 

We are thrilled to announce that U.S. Congress Member Nydia Velazquez will be on hand to receive special recognition from the BHA on the occasion of her retirement. Rep. Velazquez represented Brooklyn Heights for many years before redistricting and contributed a great deal to our community. 

After the meeting, please come chat with BHA staff, our Board of Governors and your neighbors during our community reception sponsored by the Watermark of Brooklyn Heights.

Be sure to pick up a raffle ticket when you arrive for the opportunity to win a prize from some of our favorite local businesses - Jules, Brooklyn Women's Exchange, Din Soup Dumplings and BodyCraft.

New Member Offer!  Haven't joined the BHA yet?  Memberships will be on sale at the meeting and if you join then, you will be gifted a BHA branded tin filled with delicious coffee beans from Brooklyn Roasting Company.

We look forward to hosting you!

Egg Hunt + Bake Sale

Get out your bunny ears and join us at our annual egg hunt, Saturday, March 28th (raindate Sunday, March 29th).  The hunt will begin at 10:30am sharp.

Once again, we will be dividing the hunt by age group. 

Little bunnies 3 years and younger should report to Harry Chapin playground.

Children 4 years and older should head to Pierrepont Playground.

Families with children in both age groups can choose which hunt to attend.

Volunteers are needed to support our Egg Hunt Bake Sale.  Proceeds go to help run the many BHA community events throughout the year.  We need both bakers and sellers, the more the merrier!  

Special thank you to CityPoint for helping to sponsor this event.

A Special Event Brought to You by
City Point Brooklyn

Attention mom, dads and kids!  City Point is hosting a special Stories and Scoops on Saturday March 21st at McNally Jackson book store in downtown Brooklyn.

This is a great opportunity to meet other families in the neighborhood for a special reading in their children's section.  After the storytime, the group will head over the Van Leeuwen Ice Cream where each child will receive a free scoop of ice cream!  

Want to walk over with other families?  The BHA will be organizing a meet up.  Details coming next week.
 
Rat Academy

One benefit of this cold winter is a decline in rat sightings.  But don't rest too comfortably because the warmer weather will bring them out from their burrows.  Now is the time to learn how to protest your property from these pesky rodents. Attend one of the many virtual or in-person Rat Academies hosted by the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene to stay informed. See our Calendar below for dates and registration links.
