Crisp Days Ahead
Looking Forward To The Giving Season
By Lana Cordes
Executive Director, GPHC, Inc.
Though I’m always a little sad to see the summer in the rearview, I am also feeling refreshed by fall and the change it brings. And as we also wave goodbye to our summer event season, we look ahead to our annual meeting, board elections, and holiday programs.
The Greater Park Hill Community, Inc. Annual Meeting will take place virtually on Thursday, Oct. 7 at 6 p.m. We will be highlighting our annual report, presenting volunteer awards, and conducting board elections for Districts 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 as well as three At-large seats (check out the map on this page to see which district you are in). If you are interested in running for a board seat, voting in the board election, or simply attending the meeting you can find all the details at greaterparkhill.org/join-us/annual-meeting. If you don’t do virtual or have reliable internet access, please call the office at 303-388-0918 so we can get you connected in another way.
And thinking a bit farther ahead, our Thanksgiving Giveaway is not far off. Each year we distribute hundreds of Thanksgiving meal boxes in the neighborhood, and in the coming weeks we will be requesting donations of both funds and food. Please think of us as you plan your holiday giving. There will also be limited volunteer opportunities to help us sorting, assembly, and distribution of food boxes.
GPHC’s operations are supported heavily by volunteers and almost entirely by donors. In 2021, I’m sharing a quote each month to express our gratitude for our donors and volunteers:
“Life’s most persistent and urgent questions is, ‘What are you doing for others?’” – Martin Luther King, Jr.
