Getting to Know You

Howdy-do, Garden Park! Well, here we are on the new blog and we want to make sure everyone stays informed and on top of information. However, I believe we need to start at the beginning. We all need to get to know each other so not only can we foster a sense of community and whatnot, but also so that if there are concerns or other problems, we can work on them together. So, to start, we are going to be posting some information about the HOA board members. We had started this on the old blog, but since we are moving to this blog, we thought it beneficial to move this information over here.

So here we go! We are going to be sharing "getting to know you" information about our president, Michael Iverson, our treasurer, Gary Anderson, and our secretary, Lacy Walter today. The other "getting to know you's" will be posted as soon as they are available! Enjoy!
