Parking Reminder/Request
If you work for a local company which does not have reserved parking for employees, please consider
not parking directly in front of your place of business. Oftentimes these spaces are open because you
arrive before the start of business. However, these spaces are better left available for the people
who patronize your establishments throughout the day...you could be inadvertently costing your company business by not giving
your customers a place park nearby. While this issue applies throughout our business community, it is particulary hard
for customers to find spots on Brownsville Road in the area of Brentwood Towne Square. Your cooperation would be
greatly appreciated by the BBOA and your paying customers.

The BBOA is introducing an innovative idea to reduce
the organization's mailing costs while at the same time
allowing a member business to take advantage of a
relatively inexpensive way to advertise to the BBOA business
community. By sponsoring a BBOA mailing, your 8 X 10 ad will
accompany the BBOA flyer. Describe your business, announce a
special, or print a page of coupons. Contact BBOA President
Denny Flanigan for information on fees and the upcoming
schedule. Businesses are already lining up, so get your
request in soon!

Membership Plaques
This year the BBOA started a Membership Plaque Program. This plaque is a great identifying
symbol that recognizes you as a current member of the BBOA, and that your business or organization
is involved with promoting business in our fine community. The plaque is a symbol of UNITY and "What's
Right With Brentwood". Each year we will be sending out a new insert that will replace the previous one.
We believe the by displaying this plaque at your place of business, you will be letting your patrons know
that you are a part of an organization that is dedicated to encouraging and promoting business in the
Brentwood area.
Please contact Rita Day at 412-885-4868x104 or rrday@gbaco.com if you have not
received a plaque and would like one mailed to your business or organization.

For our January update, I wanted to talk some about EDS's approach to redeveloping our communities.
EDS has taken a corridor-based approach to redeveloping the area --- both as means to attract new businesses and residents, and as a strategy for maximizing the impact of our projects and initiatives. This approach is based on the principle that our communities share a common interest in the long-term economic vitality of the commercial corridors that link our neighborhoods to the rest of the region.
Based on this strategy, EDS has been reaching out to all of the communities that share an interest in the redevelopment of our commercial corridors. And these efforts have started to bear fruit, because this month we are excited to announce that the communities of Overbrook and Carrick will be participating in EDS as formal partners. We hope that this will allow us to make more of an impact on some of the key areas of Route 51 (such as the intersection of Routes 51 and 88 in Overbrook) and Brownsville Road (such as the Sankey Avenue Business District that straddles Carrick and Brentwood). The redevelopment of these areas would have a profound impact on the attractiveness of the EDS communities to new businesses and residents.
As EDS continues to grow and support the redevelopment of our communities, we hope that we will be able to engage more communities around common priorities and shared interests. This growth will allow us to make a comprehensive impact to our commercial corridors and will allow us to be more competitive for scarce regional and state redevelopment resources.
I'd love feedback from you, please call /email me and we can meet to talk more about EDS.
Have a happy holiday everyone!

HERO (hee - ro) noun: a man of distinguished courage or ability, admired for his deeds, noble qualities and inspiration to others. See Guy Buzzelli
Guy Buzzelli (1963-2009), who was diagnosed with muscular dystrophy when he was 9, worked closely with the Muscular Dystrophy Association since 2005.
In recognition, MDA, at the 2007 Muscle Team gathering, awarded him the inaugural Guy Buzzelli Jr. Champion of Spirit Award for
"making an astounding difference in the Pittsburgh community while spreading awareness of neuromuscular disorders."
The award named in Buzzelli's honor is presented annually to people who exemplify the same spirit and drive he demonstrates.
For the past 20 years, he has also sold tickets for the Pittsburgh Pirates as a member of the Gold Club, a group of volunteers who
receive incentives based on their sales. Guy, who retired from the Port Authority, worked from home for the Pirates. In 2006, he became
the first Gold Club member to reach the $2 million mark in ticket sales. He was rewarded with trips to Wrigley Field in Chicago and Dodger
Stadium in Los Angeles, Pirates' spring training and five All-Star Games. Guy was instrumental in the success of our annual BBOA
Brentwood Community Night at PNC Park.
"Since I was 9 years old, a dream of mine was to one day play for the Pirates," Guy once said. "This is like the next best thing."
We find comfort in believing that Guy is now in Heaven fulfilling his dream on the diamond as a member of the greatest All Star team the Lord has ever assembled.

PIRATES vs. THE TEXAS RANGERS
Event organizer and BBOA Secretary to the Organization Brian Graham would like to thank his fellow organizers, BBOA members,
business sponsors, and community members who helped make this year's tailgate party and baseball game another success. The
weather started off great and everyone enjoyed plenty of food, refreshments, and entertainment...And then came the big storm.
Luckily the rain arrived just as the tailgate party was winding down, so aside from running between the raindrops to get on the
buses, the storm just served to cool things down and provide for a beautiful evening of baseball. The Bucs won the game 8-1 to
end the night on a positive note. Click on any of the thumbnails above to view pictures from the event---see if you can find
yourself at the tailgate party or ballgame!

Want to find the Fountain of Youth? You can!
According to Prevention Magazine, people who volunteer
stay healthier and live longer than people who don�t.
VOLUNTEERING KEEPS YOU IN SHAPE. A recent Johns Hopkins
University study found that spending 15 hours a week in
an elementary school DOUBLES the number of calories you
burn in a year. PITCHING IN MAKES YOU HAPPIER. Volunteers
report more satisfaction with their lives, higher levels
of self-esteem, and lower levels of depression.
VOLUNTEERING BUILDS BRAIN POWER. In another John Hopkins study,
people who volunteered cut their risk of Alzheimer�s disease in HALF!

The Value of Brentwood is off to a great start. The program, the BBOA's version of a Welcome
Wagon, is the brainchild of Pat Ruby of Community Bank on Brownsville Road. Pat & her partner
in the program Vickie Layton, also of Community Bank, put together and deliver welcome bags
to new residents of Brentwood. The bags contain a BBOA directory and advertising items such
as calendars, pens, refrigerator magnets and coupons of participating BBOA members. For a
one-time fee of $15, your advertsing item can be included in the bag. Just drop off your
items along with your check to Pat at Community Bank during regular business hours. For more
information, call Pat at 412-881-1600.
