GC EPOA to Sponsor Sock Drive, Host Guest Speaker on November 20

The Garden City Eastern Property Owners’ Association (EPOA) will host its next public meeting on Tuesday, November 20th at 7:30 PM at the Senior Center on Golf Club Lane. The meeting will cover several topics of interest affecting the community and will provide residents the opportunity to raise other issues of interest. There will also be updates from the EPOA Officers, East Trustees, Environmental and Recreation Representatives.

The EPOA is pleased to host Joseph (Joe) DiFrancisco, Superintendent of Village’s Public Works and Deputy Village Administrator, as its guest speaker at the November 20th meeting. Joe will provide an update on village projects as well as the installation of a flagpole to commemorate 100 years of the EPOA near the Rainbow Monument off Clinton Avenue, which was funded by contributions from the EPOA’s April public meeting and a donation from the Camp Mills 69th Army Regiment. As further celebration of the EPOA’s Centennial, a pictorial history exhibit will be on display on the lower level of the Garden City Public Library during November.

As part of the EPOA’s mission to serve as a civic association for residents of the East and in anticipation of the holidays, the EPOA will be conducting a “sock drive” at its November 20th meeting. Socks are one of the greatest needs for those in need, particularly as we approach the winter season. The EPOA would like to encourage all attendees to please bring at least one pair of socks (new socks only; greatest need is for black or dark-colored adult cotton socks) to the November 20th meeting. All donations will be delivered to The INN (Interfaith Nutrition Network) in Hempstead.

The 2019 EPOA Membership Drive is now underway. East residents are invited to join for $20 for 1 year of membership or $40 for 2 years of membership. Dues may be paid by check, PayPal (go to www.gcepoa.org), or through Venmo (@GCEPOA). As a reminder, the EPOA consists of all volunteers but does have ongoing communication-related expenses. Thank you for your support.
