Hello Good Neighbors,

We are in the full swing of summer, and I am sure you are all so busy and trying to soak up the sun. Please make sure to save the date for some amazing events we have planned this summer. 

We have our Annual Garden Tour throughout the 5 neighborhoods of Grandmont-Rosedale for our flower and garden lovers. I always learn something on the tour and get inspiration for next year.  (Maybe one year I’ll finally feel ready to be a part of the tour myself.) Please reach out to a Garden Club member for tickets, or come see us at the Northwest Detroit Farmers’ Market at North Rosedale Park. We will be selling tickets some of the Thursdays (4-8) before the tour on Saturday, July 26. All proceeds go to the Grandmont Scholarship Fund. 

Next, we have our 3rd Annual Longacre Street Party on August 2! While Longacre spearheads and hosts, if you live on another street, you’re welcome to join us! It is a family-friendly good time! If you miss us then, check us out at the Popsicles in the Park at Ramsay Park on Monday, August 4 from 6-8 pm. We hope to continue to have Grandmont Community Meetings at different dates and times throughout the year to increase engagement with our good neighbors, have community partners come and speak, and fellowship with each other! We hope you’ll come and enjoy a popsicle or ice cream treat and spend time with us!

Last but not least, the Youth and Education Committee will be hosting the Reading in Ramsay Park backpack giveaway on Saturday, August 16, at 10 am where children can come with their families to get backpacks and school supplies for free (while supplies last) in preparation for the coming school year. 

There’s an event for everyone this summer, and we also plan to get out into the neighborhood, knocking on doors to ask for dues, but also just getting to know our neighbors and their priorities. We love feedback and want to continue to make Grandmont Great!

All my best,
