​HOT OFF THE PREZ.
By Todd Vincent on Grove, Board President
In the spring, you'll receive a survey soliciting ideas of things you, the neighborhood, would like to see more of (or less of) in 2025, as well as suggestions you might have for quarterly meetings or FGNA activities. If something pops to mind before or after the survey, don't hesitate to drop your ideas to fgnabloomington@gmail.com
It has been nice seeing some new faces at FGNA activities and in the neighborhood. Come out and join the fun.
Just a few, quick neighborly requests: Please pick up after your animals; please keep yard waste out of gutters and storm drains; and please clear sidewalks of snow and ice (yup, it's getting to that season!).
The FGNA Board wishes you and your family a Happy New Year!
