The Prez Says... by Alan Bennett
"Thank You!" to everyone who attended the August - GCBA General Membership Meeting last Friday. It was great to celebrate the 5th Year Anniversary with seven founding members of the GCBA, along with several new members and many current members. The legacy started in August, 2014 by Kelly Perkins and Kerry Partin, provides the road map we continue to use as a guide to serve our Garden City community by promoting local business and services to benefit everyone. As we evolve into our sixth year and beyond, we continue to grow by inviting both citizen and business participation. In fact, if you or a business you are familiar with is interested in joining, please let us know.
Next, as a recap, I would like to thank GCBA Member, Keith Lang from CARite of Garden City for Sponsoring our 2nd Annual "Business Expo and Car Show", and Theresa Manual and Don Nicholson, for organizing, promoting, and executing a successful event on Monday, July 22, at Garden City Park. "Thank you" for all of your hard work!
Finally, as our busy Summer continues, we look forward to hosting our next event: Music in the Park, presented by Oak Street Health - Cherryhill Center and Gordon Chevrolet, at the Main Pavilion in Garden City Park. Scheduled for Thursday, August 22, 2019, from 6:00 p.m. until 9:00 p.m., this FREE, family-friendly event will feature the band, "Sinjon Smith," food trucks for food purchases, and the Garden City Park Cornhole event. We will collect any donated, non-perishable food items for our local H.O.M.E. Food Pantry, and will also collect donated school supplies for the local Rotary Club.
We look forward to seeing everyone on Thursday, August 22, starting at 6:00 p.m.
Sincerely!
Alan
