I was asked to write an article for the Culver Citizen explaining a little about Garden Court and the positive reasons for bringing one to Culver as well as the obstacles preventing the project. It was printed in the paper last week along with a sidebar I wrote giving a little description of the umbrella group that is Garden Court. I have copied the article and sidebar below:
Garden Court
Mentone Garden Court Open House
Thursday, June 19th, was the Open House and dedication of Mentone Garden Court. 
The dedication was attended by representatives from all of the organizations involved as well as local officials, current residents and prospective residents. Dean Byers, Vice President of Garden Court, made the introductions and the President of the Mentone Chamber of Commerce had the honor cutting the ribbon with the big scissors.
I was pleased to hear many compliments from residents that have moved in during the last month. I spoke with several residents during the ceremonies and also sat and talked with some of them while enjoying refreshments. They all seemed pleased with the new facility.
