GRO Holiday Party Mark your calendar for our neighborhood Christmas Party, December 8th, 3:30-5:30 at the Red Lion. This is a perfect occasion to wear that funky holiday sweater (prize for the most bizarre!), meet and greet your neighbors, and toast to the beginning of the Christmas season. Our festivities include a coloring contest for the youngsters, a "bad" Santa gift exchange for the more mature and a 50/50 raffle with proceeds going to the Common Pantry. Holiday deliciousness is welcome and some will be provided. Please come join us in celebrating the warmth of this holiday season. "Bad Santa" gifts are silly or outlandish items, wrapped for the holdiay season, drawn at random by each participant. The arcane details for this ancient and revered holiday custom will be revealed at the party. Participation is not mandatory The Nutcracker GRO received a special invitation from Wendy Vasquez, volunteer at LBP School of Dance, located at Eastwood and Francisco. This year is the 50th year LBP will stage The Nutcracker on Saturday, December 14th, 2:30, at the Ridgemoor Country Club! For more information visit www.leballetpetit.org.

Welcome to the neighborhood!The 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. 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.
