The Garden Court Community Association (GCCA) is holding its annual meeting and potluck dinner on Thursday, June 20 and inviting neighbors to attend. The meeting will take place at the Center for Culinary Enterprises (310 S. 48th St; enter through the back of the building on Hanson St.) Potluck dinner begins at 6:30 p.m. and the meeting begins at 7:15 p.m.

The meeting will be dedicated to the history of Garden Court. GCCA has been awarded a grant by the Preservation Alliance to put together a historic tour of the community and you can learn more about this project at Thursday’s meeting. There will be an opportunity to share your personal account of the neighborhood’s history. Here are some questions GCCA is asking you to think about so you can come prepared to share your accounts of living in the neighborhood over the years:

– What locations have been important to you and why?

– What monumental or pivotal moments of neighborhood change do you remember?

– How have you connected with others in the neighborhood over time?

Everyone is welcome to bring copies of pictures of yourself and of the community. As a reminder, Garden Court boundaries are between 45th and 52nd Streets and Cedar Avenue and Locust Street.
