SEPTEMBER 2024 NEWSLETTER
Dear Residents and Families,

Whether you love music, crafts, games, or simply enjoying the crisp autumn air, there’s something special for each of you to look forward to this month.
As we step into September, the magic of fall begins to take hold in our beloved Grass Valley. The once lush green leaves are now transforming into a breathtaking palette of reds, oranges, and golds, creating a picturesque backdrop that reminds us of the beauty of change. There’s something about the coming and going of seasons that stirs a sense of nostalgia. The crispness in the air transports us back to memories of cozy sweaters, warm apple cider, and fun fall activities!
