"Children living in two Anne Arundel County neighborhoods got to leave their houses Sunday for a safari of sorts — some even used binoculars — to spot about 400 stuffed animals placed in neighbors’ yards."

On May 27th, we recognized our 2020 graduates who were cheated out of their traditional graduation ceremonies due to COVID restrictions. This was an especially difficult time for both grads and their families, yet they persevered. Congratulations! Well done!!!

Arden Community Association has just completed its first “Fall Fix Up” and the team accomplished so many great things that included painting the shed, painting the entry doors, trimming trees, and building a small porch for delivery men to use to fill the fuel tank. The members that offered their time, effort, and muscle to this project deserve appreciation! One person makes a difference, a group of volunteers can change the world, or in our case, Town Hall! A big thank you to project leaders, Art and Etta Bardelang, Jessica Carzon for signage, Stacey Henderson, Ken and Judy Krantz, Tony Karwoski, Steve Durst, Kim and Sally Franklin, Stacy Hommel, Joe and Sevil Skiratko for the help and sandwiches.

Cub Scouts Pack 768 wanted to give back to the community. The Scouts in this pack are all Arrow of Light Scouts in their last year of Cub Scouts. Due to COVID-19 they were unable to do Christmas caroling at the Fairfield Loop Nursing & Rehabilitation Center as they had done in years past, so they asked Art Bardelang if they could help cleanup Town Hall. It was a bit windy on the December day of the cleanup, but they managed to dodge the rain and move some leaves and debris! The families who helped were: Dave & (scout) Carson Tolley, Andrew & (scout) Ben Huppert, Tim & (scout) Paul Hoy, Bill & (scout) Ronin Toner, and Paul & (scout) Reid Qualey. Thank you for helping beautify the neighborhood.

The Arden Kids Club hosted its first annual "Let's Light Up Arden - Holiday Decorating Contest". There were over 30 houses participating. The competition was fierce as there were only a couple votes between first and second place. Congratulations to Veronica and Michael on Barger Drive for their big win and a huge thanks to them for donating their winnings back to the kids club!!! That's truly the Christmas spirit!

On December 19th, we all came together to share the warmth of the season and spready the joy throughout the community. What a heart-felt event and experience to share with all of our friends and families here in Arden on the Severn. Our special guest participant was our very own Councilman Pruski. We also had a very successful clothing and food drive. Thanks to all our gracious donators. You are making a difference locally!

To our friends and neighbors, Bill Boberg for catching everyone by drone and creating our amazing parade video, and to John Murphy for the ground-level shots. It takes a VILLAGE and our little village of "Arden on the Severn" is the best!!! And, thanks to ALL who helped make this happen. Your ACP volunteer elves include Karen Selckmann, Kimberly Franklin, Rodney Daff, Kaelee Cogar, John Murphy & Rebecca Murphy, Michael Hoshor, Patrick Cobb & Lara Lee Cobb, Bill Boberg, and Victor DeLaet (Santa)....and ALL of our parade participants!
