WELCOME !!
We are pleased to introduce the newest member of the Park District, OUMAR THIAM. Oumar and his wife, Liz, are residents of Grandwood Park, and recently had one of their children enrolled in the Little Learners Preschool.
Oumar is part of our Grounds Maintenance team, so you will probably see him out and about in the community on the Kubota.

Speaking of elections ... it's election time for the GPCA! The GPCA will have 2 positions on the ballet at our November 4th meeting. If you are interested in having a real impact on our neighborhood, this is a great place to start. GPCA is who brings the FUN to Grandwood Park and The Shires. We coordinate Spaghetti Dinner, Fish Fry, Sounds of Summer, and Oktoberfest. We also assist the Park District to help our community.
The two positions available for election are: PRESIDENT, and SECRETARY.
We meet once a month on the 1st Wednesday of the month at 7pm. Your only requirement is to be a resident of Grandwood Park or The Shires. Please feel free to PM us, or contact us at civicassociation@grandwoodpark.net.

Let It Snow !
Please do not park on the street during the winter, it makes it difficult for the Warren Township Highway Dept. to do their job keeping our streets clear of snow, and safe
for everyone! Thank you.

2021 SCRAPBOOK SCHEDULE ANNOUNCED
The schedule for 2021 is listed below, however, due to our current circumstances we have been forced to make a few changes to how things are handled. We are not accepting any payments at the crop (everyone needs to register and pay online), not allowing any food to be shared, and not allowing children to attend during this COVID crisis. We are also limiting each crop to a maximum of 20 people, and practicing social distancing for everyone's safety.
