Dear Neighbor,
I would like to take this
opportunity to announce the beginning of a new chapter in the
incredible saga of our fabulous CGGNA. I would like to introduce
to all of you our new President, Toby Rubin. I have resigned as
president because of an extremely busy schedule, especially with my
business and my beloved grandsons ages almost 1 and just turned
5. Toby has been a member of the CGGNA since its inception back
in 2003 when we formed in order to challenge the proposed development
of the high-density residential project on Gilbert Street. Since
her retirement from the State of California, Toby has been an active
volunteer in various civic activities, including the Garden Grove
Police Department at this time. I would also like to introduce
Maureen Blackmun, Toby’s next door neighbor, as our newest Board
member. I am thrilled with their ideas and enthusiasm and know
that you will appreciate the new energy that they will bring to the
CGGNA. It is their wish to place more of a focus on the needs of
the residents and work on improving our Central Garden Grove
neighborhoods. Their ideas are endless and boundless and I am so
excited about perhaps a bit of a shift in tone with their leadership.
They love our city a lot, so get
ready!
Please note that this newsletter is
being mailed to everyone on our CGGNA membership list (rather than
e-mailing it). This is because we wish to evaluate the status of
this list and also urge members/former members to actively join the
CGGNA. Toby and Maureen, and the rest of the Board, hope to
establish committees to address the various specific needs of Central
Garden Grove, and we would like to request that those of you who have
not already done so, to send in your membership dues. The cost of
membership is a modest $12.00 per year per person, which covers the
costs of paper, ink and postage as well as the costs associated with
our Annual Meeting and any other special association meetings
throughout the year. Also, this is an opportunity for the
membership to contact Toby with any name or address corrections that
you may notice. I am happy to help with the printing of the
newsletters and envelopes, and in any other ways that I can, in the
future. Please contact Toby, whose phone number and e-mail
address are noted below, with any changes or corrections, or you may
mail your corrections or comments to our address noted at the top of
this newsletter.
It has been both an honor and a
pleasure being involved with this extremely successful and worthwhile
organization for all of these years.
Sincerely,
Cheryl Armstrong
Outgoing President
