News from Grider Hill Dock April 2nd, 2009
Hello Grider Hill Family!!

I am so excited about the upcoming summer season!! I have met so many wonderful people and look forward to meeting a lot more at the May 2nd Meet & Greet Derby Day Lunch and by walking the dock this summer.

I can't tell you how happy and surprised we were at the response to the survey.  First of all, thank you for taking the time to answer it.  Also, the suggestions and recommendations were great! We are addressing these ASAP!  One that stood out loud and clear was that we needed a place where people could gather to enjoy GHM - I agree!!  So, we are building a 40X80 deck above the ship store.  The view will be awesome and it's something we can all enjoy!
 
We are currently working on the wave break and will have it done by 4/15.  The new 80 ft houseboat slips are done and so are the 30 ft slips.  We have more projects scheduled that will benefit everybody!!  The rooms have been refurbished and we will be starting the houseboats ASAP.  This year the restaurant will be run by our own Gena Sasser and I am excited about her enthusiasm in that endeavor.
 
Please keep the suggestions coming.  My goal for summer 2009 is to make sure GHM cares about you and your family!!
