GV Newsletter July (revised)

GOVERNMENT
Mayor Ron reports
continued from page 3
Nearly 40 residents (including staff)
of Orchard Hills, Big Canon,
Goldsmith and Canon Villas
neighborhoods came
together to spruce up
the park and pond.
Their efforts included
the installation of new
gravel along paths,
planting flowers,
pulling weeds,
pruning, spreading
new mulch, and
cleaning up the
streams. The project
concluded after three
hours with the group
sharing pizza and
dessert.
Volunteer projects are
a great way to get to
know your neighbors
and show pride for
your Village, the place
you call home. If your
RAMBLE WITH RON
neighborhood is interested in
hosting a volunteer day, please call
the City Manager’s Office at
303-486-5745. GV
