PCC Happenings:
In early October, we held a Plant Sale to benefit the Kids Club of PCC. We raised over $1200!!A large number of neighbors participated by sending a fall mum to other neighbors. Plants were from Cerbo's nursery in Parsippany. Thank you to Julie Arnold and Amy Redpath who picked up the plants with Vicki Williams, and to Julie, Amy, Ellen Falk, Margaret Semezko, Lucinda Crain, Dominique Geddes and Ron Borillo who delivered the plants to all neighbors. Nice work everyone!
On October 20th, a Beer Tasting Party was held at the clubhouse, organized by Ron and Nancy Borillo. Margaret Close picked up all the beer from a micro-brewery near Princeton. A wonderful time was had by all, and the event raised $400 for the PCC. Great Job!
The children of Puddingstone ushered in Halloween with a pizza night at the clubhouse. The little ones were adorable in their costumes! (Hopefully I can learn how to include pictures on this blogsite). Afterwards, they went trick-or-treating around part of the neighborhood.
November 3rd was the evening of our annual Italian Night, organized by Barbara Lupinacci and her sister Pat Dohne. They are our specialists for this event, and do a great job pulling it all together! Homemade lasagnes, chicken, gnocchi with broccoli rabe. polenta, salads, vegetable side dishes, and desserts were tried by about 42 neighbors of all ages. Also, we sampled delicious Italian wines. We look forward to this event every year!!

What is Puddingstone?
Puddingstone is rock made up of a mixture of different, irregular-sized grains and pebbles held together by a finer matrix, usually formed from quartz sand. It is found in different varieties and in different areas. But the purple-based stone found in Morris County is rare and has never been found anywhere else in New Jersey. The plum or purple tint in the stones comes from iron oxide materials; flecks in the stone are white quartz pebbles. Geologists say the stones are a glacial deposit, a sedimentary rock that has been slightly metamorphosed by heat and date from the Devonian period, 350 million to 400 million years ago. They are believed to be a remnant of an ancient mountain range. (Courtesy of the Daily Record, August 23, 2007)

Our Neighborhood
Just west of Morristown, New Jersey, the land rises sharply to 1,000 feet above sea level, 500 feet above the plains below. The high ridge, covered with trees of the mixed deciduous forest, punctuated with outcroppings of granite, affords fine views of Morris Plains and Morristown.
Eons ago, while geologic forces were forming this granite ridge, a curious form of rock, salmon pink with white spots developed. Commonly called Puddingstone, this attractive unusual rock lent its name to the locality along the ridge.
Today, the community known as Puddingstone Heights is not just a suburban development. It's a place rare in today's world, a community where one can live a modern life in concert with the natural environment, a neighborhood where people know and care for their neighbors, a small community of quiet tree-lined roads, alive with the beauty of New Jersey's flora and fauna. Home sites are landscaped within the natural beauty of the high ridge, unlike so many developments where sites are transformed into a landscaper's artificial version of nature.
Perhaps those attracted to Puddingstone are people who are interested in others, in nature and in their environment. This tendency is enhanced by the Puddingstone Community Club. The club provides a framework for neighborhood activities, organizes social functions, greets newcomers and looks out for common community political interests.
