Please join us for the 2013 Earlewood Thanksgiving Dinner at the Earlewood Park Community Center!
The Thanksgiving Dinner is a long-standing Earlewood tradition that is enjoyed by everyone. All Earlewood residents and their friends are invited. If you’re interested in volunteering, please view our online sign-up sheet (http://signupschedule.com/earlewoodsecretary).
The neighborhood association will provide the turkey, dressing and drinks.
** We ask those who can do so to bring a dish – a salad, side or dessert. Please bring your contribution to the community center between 6:30 and 6:45 so we can get all the food on the tables.
We will have the blessing at 7:15 p.m. and then our meal will begin.
If you are bringing a dish, please bring a large spoon or other utensil for serving, and make sure to put your name on your dishes and utensils if possible. This helps us make sure we get everything back to its owner at the end of the night. We greatly appreciate everyone’s cooperation!

For years, Earlewood has hosted treasure seekers, gardeners, and bargain hunters at its annual Neighborhood Flea Market. The location and name have changed, but each May dozens of vendors and hundreds of shoppers continue to take part in this exciting community event.
2014 Big Flea
Saturday, May 3rd from 8AM – Noon
Earlewood Park Community Center
1113 Parkside Drive, Columbia, SC 29203
So much more than a neighborhood yard sale, the Big Flea features treasures from the attics and garages of dozens of residents and friends.
The Big Flea is the main fundraiser for our neighborhood association, with all proceeds going towards neighborhood beautification projects and events that directly impact the quality of life in Earlewood. We hope that you can help us make this year’s event a success. There are several ways Earlewood residents can show their support.
Visit the Big Flea page on www.earlewood.org for more information!
You’re invited to join neighbors and friends for a potluck dinner and time to chat with fellow Earlewood residents, CPD and RCPD officers, and local officials.
Please bring a casserole, entrée, or side dish to share!
**This year ECCO will be providing desserts and bread along with drinks, paper products, and other supplies.**
We hope to have enough food to treat our 7 Truck firefighters and Earlewood CPD officers to dinner also. If you know what you’re planning to bring, please comment on our Facebook event page! This will help us make sure there’s enough for everyone.
If you’re able to volunteer, we can definitely use your help! Please visit http://signupschedule.com/earlewood for a list of tasks and shifts. Then to sign up, you just enter your name! No need to register – and your information will not be posted to the public list.
National Night Out will take place at the Earlewood Community Center, 1113 Parkside Drive, at 6:00pm on Tuesday, August 5th. Dinner begins at 6:30.
We’ll have kid-friendly activities for our youngest Earlewood residents, so bring the whole family!
