SPRING NEWSLETTER from THE CGGNA PRESIDENT

Hello Neighbors,
 
Happy Spring! I hope this letter finds you all enjoying the weather and your emerging spring yards!

 

Please join CGGNA and City of Garden Grove Public Works-Tree Division's for the 2nd Annual Arbor Day Tree Planting, Friday April 29, 2011 at 10:00am at Hare Park. This year Hare High School students and Student Council will be participating as well. Consider coming out and be a part of the Greening of the Grove! Rumor has it the Journal and Channel 3 may be there.
 
Save the Date! The CGGNA's 5th Annual Meeting has been planned for June 18, 2011 at 1:00 pm. It will be in my yard @ 12361 Meade St. Garden Grove. The event will include the CGGNA association business, speakers (elected officials, police and fire representatives), raffles, AND a BBQ and pot luck as well! Please save the date and plan on a bit of fun along with the business! The CGGNA will provide the main meal, tableware, and lemonade. You are asked to bring a side dish and your chair or blanket! He’s baaaack….John Wildsmith that is. John will again handle the invitations to speakers for the meeting and he will be MC'ing the show. Welcome back, John! Verla Lambert has donated a quilt for our raffle and we are out seeking other donations from businesses locally. So if you see us coming, hide! We are looking forward to the event. It should be fun.
 
The CGGNA has formed a "Clean and Green Team". The attached document outlines the aims and ideals of this effort. Consider joining the "Clean and Green Team" by calling Ralph Laudenslayer at 714-539-7389 or you can report a code violation directly to the City by calling or emailing them at 714-741-5358 or emailing them at

A few plugs for the arts in Garden Grove!
 
Hopefully, you saw the Gem's production of the 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee! It was an excellent and hysterical production! Chicago is the next show. Try and make it. You will not be disappointed.
