Feb. 1, 2022 GOCC Civic Club meets again on Zoom, hopefully for the last time

At our February 1, 2022 Civic Club meeting, we will hear from Roman McAllen, Houston Office of Preservation (HOP) Officer. He will explain the designation of Heritage Districts and answer questions.
Come to the meeting with your constructive ideas and opinions. We cannot and will not have an open forum on whether Garden Oaks generally needs sidewalks. We will talk about the issue at hand – the impact of the sidewalk ordinance, whether we as a neighborhood want the Civic Club to continue to advocate for waivers, and the appropriate way to do that. I look forward to a productive discussion.

Our Civic Club meeting for February will be hopefully be our last Zoom only meeting. Please join us:
GOCC Meeting, Tuesday February 1, 7 pm.

Meeting ID: 853 8370 1841
Passcode: 505892

December 4, New GOCC Officers Elected for 2020

President – Tonya Knauth

My husband Rick and I moved to Garden Oaks in 2004, put down roots and expanded our family here. Our three children all attended GOMM, and we have been active in GO Kids and Boy Scouts, to name just a few of the groups we have enjoyed being part of. We feel fortunate to live in a small-town environment in the middle of a big city. I have volunteered and served the neighborhood in many capacities, and I have a strong desire to continue to work for everyone to improve our community.

Vice-President – Kevin David

I moved to Garden Oaks in 1994. As a child I spent a lot of time in Garden Oaks with my aunts and grandparents. My mother was raised in Garden Oaks and my father was raised in Shepherd Park Plaza. My wife, two daughters and I really love the subdivision and all the wonderful people who reside in GO and make this such a great community. Over the years I have seen many changes. I witnessed farewells to some great neighborhood staples but we have had several family-friendly new businesses open to replace them. I look forward to serving and doing my part to make our lovely community a better and safer place for all of us to enjoy.

Treasurer – Jeff Martin

– My family has lived in Garden Oaks for 11 years. We love our neighbors and the community and are proud to call Garden Oaks home. The three of us have volunteered at GOMM in various ways over the last 10 years and made friends with many wonderful GO families. I am the Vice President and Treasurer with my current employer and served as Treasurer for our local Cub Scouts for 3 years.

Secretary – Adam Pryor

– My wife Kendra and I are both new to Garden Oaks, having moved into the neighborhood in August of this year. With a two-year-old daughter and a newborn on the way, we were drawn to the family-friendly nature of the neighborhood, while still providing the access to great restaurants and shopping in the immediate area. Being new to Garden Oaks, I have chosen to serve on the board to get better acquainted with my neighbors and to help foster a greater sense of community.
