Looking for a New GMVA Board Member
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
One of our longest serving board members recently moved and
we are looking for a replacement. The only legal requirement is that you are a resident of Grogan's Mill. Candidates will be selected by the Board of Directors.
The Directors are looking for someone who is willing to participate in a wide range of activities such as: participating in GMVA activities and serving on committees, managing the Farmers' Market, and individual assignments that would include evaluations of requests, complaints and reporting on how we respond. A minimum effort of eight hours a month is typical.
If you are interested please send a short CV citing your education, experience with relevant activities to president@gmva.org and come to our next meeting on September 19, 2016 to give us a two minute presentation on why you would be a good fit. We do have some great parties.

National Night Out in The Woodlands and Splash Day

More than 30 neighborhoods celebrated NNO on August 2. GMVA Board members attended as many neighborhood parties as they could get to in the two hours. It was
a great way to meet your neighbors and learn about your community.
Splash Day Fun
