The new GND REC is becoming the center of the community. The Community Center is completed and active. Phase I has been completed with soccer games keeping our new fields busy. The performance pavilion was the venue for four concerts in 2017 and the 2018 schedule is being established. The dog park is completed and is actively used. Much more is needed to complete our project. Amazing people - people like you - are asked however they can. 2018 construction is focused on Phase 2 & 3 of our project will be started and are accepting donations to keep the project rolling.
