Dear Neighbor,
Great news! Two of our members, Dr. Sheldon Singer and Dr. Melville Singer, will be the theme marshals for the 51st Garden Grove Strawberry Festival on May 22-25. These brothers have dedicated decades of their lives to medicine and community service.
In addition, two of our members were appointed to serve on advisory commissions to the City Council. Harry Pearce, our Webmaster, was appointed to the Sanitary Commission and Robin Marcario, our President, was appointed to the Neighborhood Improvement Commission. They are both informed and involved voices in service to our community.
The Planning Commission approved the subdivision into two parcels at 9461 Catherine Avenue on the northwest corner of Catherine and Gilbert. The commission comments represented the facts of full compliance with building codes and zoning laws. Now, the existing home will be renovated, with the second lot and new home to be constructed in five years after sewer improvements are completed along Gilbert.
A previously approved proposal to build a Starbucks in the "Little Brookhurst Triangle" at Brookhurst, Brookhurst Way and Stanford has been extended for one year. An extension was requested and granted. The developer needed additional time to build as the economic climate improves.
The City Council approved the use of artificial/synthetic turf as landscaping in Garden Grove. The new ordinance sets standards for color and percentage of landscaping as well as installation and drainage. Residents will be eligible for a rebate from the Orange County Water District as an incentive to conserve water at the end of April.

The City of Garden Grove and Channel 3 are sponsoring an informative video addressing our aging water and sewer infrastructure, “Liquid Assets: The Story of Our Water Infrastructure.” The program is a 90-minute documentary that shows a water delivery system that’s falling apart. http://www.ci.garden-grove.ca.us/?q=pw/LiquidAssets
The Garden Grove Chapter of AARP will host Kris Bachouris, from our Garden Grove Police Department. She will discuss identity theft, neighborhood protection and police response to July 4th fireworks at their general meeting. The meeting is open to the public and will be held on Wednesday, April 22nd at 12:30 p.m. The meetings are held in room B of the Community Meeting Center, 11300 Stanford Avenue. These are important issues to our members. See you there!
This month’s CGGNA Board Meeting will be held at Azteca’s Mexican Restaurant on Main Street. The meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, April 21st at 5:30 p.m. We are in the preliminary stages of planning our annual meeting. Your ideas are valued and appreciated. Come enjoy a delicious meal and conversation.
Thoughtfully,
Robin Marcario, President 534-1428
