MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT I am wishing everyone a safe and Happy 4th of July. Please complete the “Directory Update” located in this newsletter and submit it by July 15th so we can provide you with an updated Grand Valley Directory. On July 14th we will have a guest speaker and the topic will be “Financial Assistance For Seniors”. This is the first of a 2 part series to assist seniors. In the fall, SHINE (partners with Medicare and AAA) will be speaking on Medicare 101, open enrollment and supplemental insurance. A deco mesh wreath making class and a wine tasting event have been booked for July. Details follow later in the newsletter. We are looking for help from the community. As you know, the Nadeaus are stepping down as of October as the Social Committee Chairpersons. They have provided us with quality entertainment and special events throughout the year. We need someone, or a team, to take over beginning in October. Training will be provided for you. If you have any ideas for new activities, events, guest speakers or entertainment, please don’t be shy. Share them with the Social Committee or Board member. We have a lot of talented residents and we would love to have you share or teach us the basics of what your special gift is. We need volunteers to work on a By-Law Committee. By-Laws should be reviewed and consistent with statute. Please see any Board member to serve on this committee. Denise Kingsbury, President

Just a few reminders to keep our community happy: 1) When leaving the pool area, please remember to close the umbrellas, so they don’t blow away in heavy winds, 2) Feeding cats is prohibited.
