Letter from the President:

On behalf of the Board of Directors of the Arbutus Business and Professional Association, I welcome you to Arbutus.

Whether you have lived in Arbutus for fifty years or have just visited Arbutus for fifty minutes, you already feel the special nature of our community.  Our casual dining, first-rate schools, family focus, faithful worshipers, familiar services, and fabulous shopping make Arbutus a most desirable location to live, work, and play.  Whatever you need, you can find it in Arbutus!

Arbutus's eateries offer cuisines from across the globe, representing five continents, in casual family atmospheres.  Given the variety, diners can certainly find a wonderful meal to fit every budget.

The schools in Arbutus evoke some our greatest pride.  Arbutus boasts some of the best public and private elementary and secondary schools in Baltimore County.  Students come from all over the world to attend the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC).  If a smaller campus is your fit, try Catonsville Community College.  Both campuses are adjacent to Arbutus   

Have you considered moving your family to Arbutus?  Our community has homes of all styles - apartments, condominiums, townhouses, single-family homes, and estates - in every price range.  The Arbutus community's commitment to family further evidences itself in our senior housing complexes, assisted living residences, and nursing facilities, allowing our seniors to stay in Arbutus well into their golden years.

The faithful, of every denomination, support over twenty-five places of worship in Arbutus.

Hundreds of service professionals have chosen Arbutus for their practices. Whether you seek an updated hairstyle from one of our salons, an updated tax plan from one of our accountants, a veterinarian for your treasured companion, or a trusted mechanic, you can find it in Arbutus.  Arbutus has many bank branches from community banks to some of the nation's largest financial institutions. If you have a banking need, an Arbutus bank will have a solution for you.

Shopping in Arbutus features an eclectic mix of national chains and locally owned and operated specialty stores includes some of metro-Baltimore's best-known retailers. From apples to snowblowers, zippers to azalias, and even a place to store it, you can find it in Arbutus.  Check our new website www.arbutus.org to find what you need when you need it.

From all of us at the Arbutus Business and Professional Association, we wish you a happy, healthy, and prosperous year. We are glad you are here.

Sincerely,

Patti Sue Nolan

President, Arbutus Business & Professional Association
