This Month's GRO News

On Saturday, August 21 GRO, 2:00 - 7:00 p.m. we will be holding our annual neighborhood party on Leland between Rockwell & Campbell. Please come & join us for this exciting event. We will be featuring a band, cookout, magician, and raffle. Bring along a favorite dish; we'll be supplying the burgers, hot dogs, corn on the cob, & soda pop. There will be a piñata, jumping jack, and face painting for the kids. We’re still in the planning stages, so if you would like to contribute your time to the event or assist on the day of the party, please give Tom a call at 773-463-7608. Check out the fun from last year!
Block Party 2009

Greater Rockwell Organization (GRO) is committed to engage in activities that will promote civic pride and community welfare. The low-cost Membership is an excellent way to engage in your community.

From Wilson to Lawrence and Western to Virginia (at the river), you will see the elegance of Greater Rockwell Organization’s award-winning corner gardens.

The monthly GRO newsletter with a circulation of 1,500 reaches our community, as well as commuters at the Rockwell Brown Line station.

GRO is committed to keeping you up to date on the CTA's Brown Line Renovation Project and helping our community through the Rockwell Station closure.

You have a more beautiful neighborhood due to the ongoing efforts of our graffiti removal program – and neighbors who join in the clean and green weekends.

Annual events such as the summer block party and the winter potluck dinner are a great way to share in our community spirit.

By signing up for GROnews (at the left, under Rockwell Station), you can join hundreds of neighbors who receive emails about local events, meeting reminders and important community alerts.

Whether you’re concerned about property taxes; public transportation; safer streets; a cleaner, greener neighborhood; a vital business district; or simply a place to say hi to your neighbors – GRO has something for you.

When we meet

Greater Rockwell Organization meets on the first Tuesday of each month at 7:30pm. Meetings are held at Luther Memorial Church at the corner of Campbell and Wilson. Enter through the red doors (to the left of the main doors) on Wilson. You will find the buzzer up and to the right.

Committees

The goals of GRO are met through our community volunteers. Follow the links to web pages describing each committee's doings and how to contact the members if you're interested in getting involved. Please give the idea some serious thought – we welcome your participation at any level, and any amount of time you care to give.
