Hello, everyone from Greater Parkcrest Neighborhood Association!
While we have not had in-person membership meetings, we have managed to stay busy. Thank God for being able to use technology to stay in touch! It has been particularly helpful to touch base with the executive committee when action needs to be taken.
This year, we mourned the loss of Harlan Bristol, a member of GPNA who served on the executive committee, veteran and all-around good guy. We set up a display in the neighborhood to honor him. Our condolences to his wife, Marty.
We participated in the Bass Pro Marathon cheering event again this year. Despite having to mask and stay socially distanced, we had a ball! Our theme for this year was “Down Home.”
We donned rolled-up jeans, straw hats, plaid shirts and cow bells and went to work cheering the runners on and offering snacks and water. We cooked our own hot dogs over an approved fire and they sure tasted good! We even had a picket fence and a cow! Not real of course, but darn cute. It was a beautiful day for the marathon.
We are really looking forward to having membership meetings again, but certainly are respecting the decisions of our leaders concerning the virus. We are also grateful to be able to attend Neighborhood Advisory Council meetings and other City meetings with Zoom.
Stay warm and stay safe.
