About Your Village Association
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Grogan's Mill Village Association participates
year round in many different activities that affect
not only our neighborhoods, but all of The Woodlands
and surrounding communities. We are always looking
for a "few good men"......and women!!! to
assist us for the various projects that can help make
our neighborhoods a better place to live and enjoy our
lovely surroundings even more.
The GMVA will be hosting an informal reception
on Thursday, June 11th from 5 to 7 PM for all of the
residents of Grogan's Mill that would like to participate once-in-a-while
or on specific projects, but aren't ready to dive
in to full time board membership. Find out what
your Village Association is all about and learn how
you can plug-in to what interests you most. Specifics for
this get-together will be posted on the Web site as
it gets closer. Refreshments will be served. |

Cleaning up after Hurricane Ike
~~~~~~~~~~
The Natural Resources Conservation Service will
be managing a clean-up project that will help to clean
up the storm debris that has accumulated in the Bear
Branch and Panther Branch flowage easements.
The project is expected to begin soon and proceed
rapidly. The clean-up will be environmentally
friendly and is likely to be noisy. For additional
information, contact the San Jacinto River Authority
office at 936.588.1111 or visit www.sjra.net or www.wjpa.org. |

Do you want a lighted ball field in
Grogan's Mill? How about a dog park?
~~~~~~~~~~
Sally Johnson is the GMVA representative to
the Parks and Recreation Department. The Parks
and Rec department is looking to light some ball
fields with timed lights that would be turned on remotely for
scheduled games. None of the parks in GM is scheduled
to receive lights. Would you like to see a lighted
park in either Sawmill or Grogan's Point?
Sally is also trying to determine if there is interest
in a dog park for GM. It would most likely be
in Tamarac Park.
Please let Sally Johnson, stargypsy@earthlink.net,
know so she can work with Parks and Rec to make it happen. |

May Yard of the Month Winner Announced
~~~~~~~~~~
 Sue
& Russell Knighton
We have lived here for 27 years. We mowed,
edged, pruned, took care of brown patch
and other infestations; however as time
went on we had to change. When the trees
got bigger and the roots took over we had
to plant upward so we had a couple of tons
of rock put in, 10 yards compost. Now we
have Holly Fern, Agapanthus, butterfly bushes,
fern berry, Split leaf philandern, and monkey
grass for our border. Thank you for this
honor, we will display our Yard of the Month
sign with pride.
Yard picked by Franklin Palmer & Jim Upham.
