Building community....

Living on Newark-Granville road is a delight but there are some things that would make it even better....a bridge to Raccoon Valley Park which would also mean a bridge to River Road Coffee, Granville Fitness and the other great things offered on River Road....We love to ride our bikes, run and walk into the village but we'd like to go to these other places safely (and riding on Main street isn't an option.)  We love baseball, being able to ride bikes or take a run to see a game is something we'd really like to have happen and thanks to Granville Rotary it may happen! 

Please help make it happen- let our village council members and township trustees know you care and you too want this bridge!

Know a source for funding- let John Weigand know (jweigand@cog-med.com or 740 587 1245)-just please do this ASAP- the April 7th Village Council meeting is key- talk to these folks before then- today-lets not miss out on an opportunity to strengthen our community's connectivity.  This bridge project has passed the initial phase of the Ohio Dept. of Transportation (ODOT) funding process.  80% of the funding of the project would be provided by ODOT enhancement grant. 20% of the cost needs to come from our community- great opportunity thanks to Rotary funds and time and coordination.

Interested in knowing more, helping this effort- contact John Weygand or me. My focus is the library levy ( vote May 4th- issue 4!!) however I can't help but spread the word about this opportunity to connect us to one another in active and happy ways.

Comments on a Classic.

You all know I love Lilly Pulitzer so it won't be surprising to know I love Liberty of London. I'm drawn to happy cheery colors and objects.  My father's Liberty of London ties always have made me smile- even as a child.  When Joe and I were in London a number of years ago a highlight of the trip was finding the Liberty of London store.  The visit is very clear in my mind- I learned a great deal about design and was impressed with the creative, stylish and beautiful things all in one place.  

A few weeks ago my sister in law shared with me that Liberty of London was designing a line for Target. This week I happened to stop by for a quick errand at Target and immediately saw the Liberty dresses for women.  I made a beeline for the children's area and was rewarded with the most darling sundresses and bathing suits.  I wanted to squeal in delight- I think I may have.  I was giddy making my way through the store impressed with all the items with the sweet yet bold, statement making, pretty patterns on fabulous things- tea pots, note cards, blouses....I need to go back- I missed the ties for men!?!

Thank you Target and Liberty of London- I love when a classic is presented in good taste in an inclusive manner!
