MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT I hope all of our friends and neighbors up north are having a great summer. Those of us still in Florida are really enjoying the rain. It is nice to see things green again. I’m learning from people that I talk to in the park that they are unclear as to where storm shelters are in the event of a hurricane. Just a reminder that our assigned shelter is the Marchman School located at 7825 Campus Dr . Please note the hurricane instructions on the inside cover of your Grand Valley Directory. I hope we won’t have to use this facility, but at least we have somewhere to go. The rib dinner put on by the social committee was as usual a huge success. I really appreciate all the hard work they do in putting on great events and that more and more people are coming to them. By the time you read this the Farmer’s Market will be back in business as well as the hot dog venue. Be sure to put Friday at 12:00 pm on your calendar for fresh veggies and a hot dog. Terry Morrow FROM MANAGEMENT If you have any concerns please submit them, in writing, signed and dated to the Grand Valley office. All items will be addressed and will stay confidential.
