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!

Welcome to the New Blog!

Hello, fellow Garden Parkers! We hope you are all enjoying your time here in Garden Park! Welcome to the new blog. This blog has taken some time to put together! We hope you enjoy it! The links above will give you access to various information such as HOA Committee contact information, Clubhouse rental information, and even a calendar that you can peak at to see what is going on in our community!

At the bottom of each page, you will find basic HOA Committee information as well as a Contact Form. This Contact Form will allow you to quickly e-mail the HOA Committee without ever needing to open your e-mail program! How awesome is that?! If you do desire to e-mail the HOA Committee independently of this box, though, you may do so by sending an e-mail to GardenParkHOA@gmail.com. One of the members should get back to you within 24 hours. If you require assistance sooner, you will want to call one of the board members!

Have fun, everyone!
