CHAIR’S MESSAGE

Chair’s Message for May 2026

May’s Chair Article by Steve Miller, MD

Dear Neighbors,

As I write this newsletter, I’m reminded of the rain storms that we have had over the last two weeks. What a blessing!! It is nice to see the many flowers that are blooming throughout the Avenues and in Memory Grove. It is truly a marvelous season of beauty and rebirth. I hope that each of you have had a wonderful Spring/Easter season with friends and family. I’m looking forward to putting my tomatoes in the garden and watching them grow.

As many of you know, we are in a period of transition at the Greater Avenues Community Council. I am leaving for Hong Kong in June to serve as the Asia Area Medical Authority for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. This month we need to nominate a new GACC chair and chair elect, and then vote at our June community meetings. I have loved serving on the GACC Board and as the Chair, and I will miss seeing each of you at the meetings, and in your neighborhoods and gardens. I hope that each of you take the time to look for ways to help each other and say “hello” to each other.

The other day, I was biking along 11th Avenue and ran into a good friend whose son attended Wasatch Elementary School, Bryant Middle School and West High School with our oldest daughter. It was fun to catch up with him and to see that we both continue to enjoy all that this wonderful community has to offer.

I hope that each of you will join us at the Memory Grove Cleanup on Saturday, May 9th, 8am to Noon at Memory Grove Park. It is a great time to work with each other and the City Parks Dept. to beautify this historic park.

Have a wonderful May and see you at the community meeting on May 6!

Steve
