In Full Swing
Return Of Park Hill Events Is Reason To Celebrate
By Lana Cordes
Executive Director, GPHC, Inc.
We had a fantastic Park Hill Garden Walk event last month. It was so fun to see so many neighbors out and about enjoying the sunny (OK, sweltering) weather, catching up, and taking in all the lovely gardens. It was a wonderful way to welcome back our in-person events.
I’d like to thank our talented bunch of volunteers including Patty Mead, Carla Finch, Kate Blanas, Jean Ercolani, Paula Marinelli, Christine Davidson, Sarah Scott, Blair Taylor, and Micki Amick for making it all happen. And of course, thank you to all of the gardeners because it simply wouldn’t be possible without their commitment and hard work.
I am thrilled that now we get to turn our attention to another amazing event – the Park Hill Parade! Taking place on July 4, as usual, join us out on 23rd Avenue at 1:30 p.m. for community-building and celebration. Check out page 4 for all details, and visit parkhillparade.org for more.
More good news: Mark your calendars for Sunday, Sept. 12 for the Park Hill Home Tour & Street Fair. While the details are still taking shape, I can tell you we will have both a street fair on the Forest Parkway and some version of a home tour around the neighborhood. Also, free electronics recycling will be back by popular demand. Keep an eye on upcoming issues of your newspaper and parkhillhometour.org for more details to come.
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:
“Great things are done by a series of small things brought together.” — Vincent Van Gogh
