A Message From the President
Hello Grandmont Neighbors,
Maybe it is because I’m a teacher, but fall always gives me a sense of a new beginning. This issue of the Grandmonitor signals a shift for us as a community. This summer we began publishing the Grandmonitor online as a newsletter through Mailchimp. If you did not receive this, please go sign up here on our new and improved website.
You also will be able to pay your dues online, sign up for the newsletter, contact us, and stay up to date with what’s going on. If you have a submissions for the new website or Grandmonitor (online newsletter or print version), please submit to grandmonitor@thegrandmontcommunity.org. A huge thank you to Stephan Franklin, our new webmaster, and interim Grandmonitor editor.
Our printed version of the Grandmonitor will come to you quarterly and be more of a recap of all the awesome things that have been going on. Our online newsletter, website and Facebook page will help us get more timely information to you. Please tap into one or more of those to stay in touch. We are excited about this shift as it will be more modern and cost efficient.
In addition, we are bringing back an additional community meeting. In years past, we have met at Bushnell or other locations in September or October to mingle with neighbors and provide updates to our community. We are meeting Saturday, October 5 at the Redford Branch of Detroit Public Library in their Community room from 11am-1pm. We will be voting on a formal election process, having community guest speakers and providing refreshments. We encourage you to attend! The election process proposed for the By-laws will be inside this issue and is available online for your review. We actually don’t currently have a solidified process for elections that is written down in the by-laws, so this proposed amendment fixes that and gives neighbors ways to vote online or vote absentee at the Annual Meeting.
I hope to see so many of you at the Meet Your Street and Block Captain Day, this Community Meeting in October, during Trunk or Treat or just while I’m walking around the neighborhood!
All my best,
Samantha Bonaparte
President, GCA
MAKE A DIFFERENCE
Become a Volunteer!
Volunteers are the heart of a community. Our volunteers are a valuable resource for our fast-growing, fast-paced neighborhood.
Our neighborhood relies on our volunteers for everything from staffing special events, such as the Ramsey Park Clean-Up and Community Garden.
We are grateful to all of those who have committed and donated their time to helping our community thrive, but there is still much more to do! Our community needs your help to preserve this work. Grandmont’s membership dues help to provide critical services for our community and neighbors every year. Membership dues help provide snow removal services, safety, beautification, and other services for our community. Every contribution counts and matters! Membership dues for residents are $30 for the calendar year (January- December) and $15 for residents who live in the Southfield and Longacre Apartments. Please consider becoming a Grandmont Community Association member and contributing to our community today! The Grandmont Community Association offers online payment of annual dues ($30) + $2 convenience fee. You will be able to renew your membership or pay for past or future memberships.
