Welcome Back Campers!!

SEPTEMBER MEETING / TEDDY BEAR DRIVE

The PDBA is pleased as punch to announce that our ‘back to school’ meeting will

take place on Wednesday September 24 at a brand spanking new venue, Vitamin

Sea, 98 Water Street, Plymouth (774-426-4001).

Located on Plymouth’s

waterfront, our new friends at Vitamin Sea will offer an indescribably delicious

buffet smorgasbord of gourmet sandwiches, accompanied by not one, but two

equally sumptuous buffet salads. And as if the food, atmosphere and camaraderie

of America’s Oldest Bar Association were not enough, the PDBA will also be

featuring an uplifting, topical and informative presentation by one of the most

esteemed speakers in recent memory (see details below). The bargain basement

cost for this relaxing, end-of-summer, can’t miss event is a measly $35 per

person!! As always, the PDBA/AOBA accepts payment in cash, checks and

Venmo (sorry, no Bitcoin).

TEDDY BEARS

Since its inception more than 15 years ago, the PDBA Teddy Bear program has

donated customized teddy bears to the Plymouth Probate and Family Court and the

Plymouth Juvenile Court to be given to adoptive parents and their kids. Over the

years we have donated more than 2,000 teddy bears to these loving families and

they are always a hit!! The PDBA looks forward to continuing this uniquely

rewarding endeavor and we are looking for our members, friends and guests to

help us to defray the cost. Anyone wishing to help support the cause may do so by

making a voluntary add-on to their meal payments ($5, 10, whatever). If you can’t

make a meeting you can just forward a donation directly to PDBA, P.O. Box 3022,

Plymouth, MA 02361. You can also pay by Venmo. This is a fantastically

worthwhile program and the PDBA hopes everyone will help us to keep it going!!

GUEST SPEAKER

Speaking of teddy bears, the PDBA is especially pleased to announce that the very

special guest speaker for our September meeting will be none other than our very

own “Papa Bear,” the Honorable Edward Boyle (ret.). Judge Boyle will not only

regale us with many colorful tales from the trenches drawn from his days as First

Justice of the Plymouth Probate and Family Court, he will also give us his insights

into the inner workings of the PDBA Teddy Bear program and its impact on the

families and kids receiving these special toys. Judge Boyle has been an active

supporter of the PDBA and its various programs, and we are looking forward to

hearing from him as we gear up for our full slate of fall meetings.
