    Gcat_2012_brainstorm

    What projects would you like to see happen in Garfield this year?  

    GCAT kicked-off the new year on January 10th with a project planning session.  We had about 12 Garfield residents join us and together we discussed which neighborhood issues were the most important and brainstormed ideas for ways we could help address these issues.  

    From that brainstorming session we created a list of project ideas for 2012.  We wanted to share with you these ideas and get your input on them as well!  Please rank which projects you would be most interested in seeing in Garfield this year.  Have an idea for a project?  Include that on our form below!  

    The GCAT team will evaluate the projects based on the our volunteer capabilities and the funding we receive from grants/donations. This will determine which projects we are able to move forward with in 2012. 

    POLL IS NOW CLOSED. Thank you for everyone who voted!
