ENGLEWOOD ELEMENTARY SCHOOL NEWS:
Englewood Elementary OPEN HOUSE is September 16th from 6:30 pm to 8:00 pm. They have invited us to have a table for membership to GENA if we would like.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE:
To those that missed last month's meeting with Dr. Wood speaking to us on the History of Jax, may I say you missed a great meeting. We so appreciate Dr. wood taking the time to come out and be with us. Also, I would like to thank Mr. Mark Patrick for his work in getting Dr. Wood to our GENA meeting. Our appreciation to you Mark.
Each month, we endeavor to have good speakers at our meetings and this month is no different. On August 9th, our guest speaker will be Ms. Jennifer Morris form the N.E. Fl. Chapter of Community Disaster Education. This should be most enlightening for all of us and prepare us for any and all kinds of disasters that could possibly affect our area. We are still in the midst of Hurricane Season, and the more we know, the better prepared we can be. Mark your calendars and come on out to Cuba Hunter Park and learn and chat and get to know your neighbors.
We are planning for the remaining part of the year and have some news to share with you folks. On October 9th, we will be having a huge yard sale. I invite you to join with us and save all of your things you wish to get rid of and come and sell and contribute to GENA. With these funds we are in hopes of adding to our finances and hopefully we will benefit from this sale. We will be going out to our Sponsors to inquire if they would like to have a table set up at the Yard Sale. Other Business in our community are welcome to join us. Also, included will be a Bake Sale. I am asking our members now that enjoy cooking to sign up for this. In doing this you are supporting our great organization. We have some great cooks in GENA, so let's plan on showing Englewood what we can do.
I wish to remind any and all that we are collecting for our school children up at Englewood Elementary. Please remember to bring in supplies for our adopted School. They can use most anything from pencils, pens, erasers, paper,etc. There will be a box by the entrance, for you to drop your supplies in. Remember, you are helping a child.
We will be having our election for Officers and Board members in October, and we ask for any volunteers. If any one is interested in any office please see me or any current Board Member or Officer.
Now, I am coming to you with a subject concerning our "Neighbor Of The Year Award". In years past, we have ( Officers and Board Members) selected the recipient of this award. This year, we will be doing this different. We are bringing this to you the members for selection. I ask that you look around you, as most of you know of a good neighbor that has went that extra mile to help a resident. For instance, there is a someone maybe that stands out for taking a Senior Citizen to the Doctor or to the Grocery Store. Perhaps, when you or a neighbor were sick someone came over and made meals for you and your family. We all know someone that stands out and fits the criteria for a good neigbor of the year. I ask that you write down the name of this individual and state the actual contribution. Paper will be given out to you at the meeting, all I ask is that you furnish the pen, so please come prepared. We will do this for this month and again next month. These selections will then be taken to the Board and to the Officers for a vote. The Award will be given in December. So my GENA friends, let's begin working on this together. You are the ones that will ulitmately make the decision with your involvement in this project. This individual need not be a GENA member, for after all there are many situations out there in GENA land where residents are busy helping one another that are not members.
In regards to our refreshment table, if you feel that you can contribute a snack of some kind for our meeting it will be most appreciated. For example dip and chips or fruit or sandwiches would be great.
In closing, I wish you well and I wish you good health. Looking forward to seeing you next Monday Night, the ninth of August at Cuba Hunter Park.
Please stay safe. Jeanie Holler- President of GENA
