Oh it’s been…HOT-HOT-HOT! Just the way we like it (well, most of us). Summer is officially here - and let’s hope it lasts a good long time.

We started off summer last month in classic NCBC fashion with the NCBC Annual Meeting & Party. See my article in this month’s issue. Thanks again to Jim Boylan and Jack Hoppus for hosting the fabulous annual event. One of the highlights was the award presentation to the GRPD that attended. They deserve it.

Congrats to Jim Boylan as the year’s Member of the Year. Jim has been very involved in offering his home and help in multiple events including the Annual meeting, Casino night, and Food Booth.

Central Reformed Church construction news – the church will have a ground breaking ceremony for their new addition on Sunday July 22. Major construction activity will start the following week. View photos of the new expansion»

46 College NE Construction Update – An agreement has been reached between the C.R. Church & the Devries (46 College owners) to allow access thru the church parking lot and allow reconstruction of 46 College to begin. The carport (behind 46 College) will be taken down (& re-built later) to allow access for debris removal and construction access. This activity is estimated to begin July 30th.

Set your calendars or Sat. Aug. 4. for our next big event – Blockbusters 2007. Due to 46 College construction, this year’s party will be jointly hosted by 516 Fountain NE (Tom Hicks, Jim O’Rourke, & Scott Kuderik) and 50 College NE (Jack & Susan Hessler). The party location is at 516 Fountain. Plus, we will have the Lazy Blue Tunas (with our own NBC member Dave Marsh) - Live. See you there.
