THE PBCA WELCOMES NEW BOARD MEMBERS: Nancy Minor, Tim Minor and Timothy Massey

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

A very special thanks to the volunteers who came out to help with repairs to the grist mill stone!!! Now it needs time to cure and then it will be lifted for a better view!!!!!

Volunteers are the heart of the Placid Bay community!

Monday July 21, 2025, 10:00 AM Placid Bay volunteers are needed to help repair a damaged grist mill stone that is at Mattox Avenue and Lake Drive (near the Venue). Most repairs have been done; only topping the stone facing with 7-8” of concrete is now needed. If you have a wheelbarrow and a shovel you can bring, that would be a great help, or—even better—a concrete mixer!
