Grogan's Mill Village Association
Exciting GMVA Meeting, February 21
Ronda Trow, who is the spokesperson for the Howard Hughes Corporation, will be at the GMVÅ February meeting on the 21st. She has volunteered to take questions from the community.
Many of you have asked questions about the changes and closing at the Grogan's Mill Shopping Center, golf course, and hotels. This is a good opportunity to ask the HHC directly about any plans they might have for Grogan's Mill.
Chris Nunes, who has taken John Powers' job at the Township will be the first speaker at this meeting. It will be an interesting and informative meeting.
This may be a Zoom meeting we will let you know by February 16. If not it will be at the Township Building, 2801 Technology Forest Blvd, 77381
If you have questions for either guest, please send to president@gmva.org.

Drip irrigation is not only a terrific water saver, it promotes healthier, happier plants AND saves you time, money and effort in managing your landscape. It’s easier than you may think to do it yourself. Even if you’re hiring a contractor to install your drip system, it’s still a great idea to learn the basics. That way you can make any repairs or adjustments to your system down the line.
Join us and learn the benefits of drip, the parts, planning and design concepts, and the best practices for DIY installations. You’ll see plenty of idea starters as you consider this important irrigation tool for your landscape.
This workshop will cover what you need to know to install your own drip system. Registration is required. Join us Saturday, March 5, 2022 for this free workshop held from 9 to 11 a.m. at The Woodlands Emergency Training Center.
