In Memory of Lynn Grant: Long time resident, teacher, community volunteer and leader, Lynn passed away Saturday, May 29 over Memorial Day weekend. We miss her friendship and wise council greatly. Lynn was among the founders of the Desert Hills Improvement Association (DHIA); which began in 1985 and merged with the New River Community Association in 1999 to become the New River-Desert Hills Community Association (NR-DHCA). She served as secretary from 1999 to 2004 and throughout her long affiliation, she remained an active member. We will all remember Lynn and the contributions that she made to NRDHCA. She always had a friendly smile and was ready to offer an encouraging word. Please feel free to send your condolences and share your stories and memories of Lynn with her husband Ed Grant via nrdhca@gmail.com. We will forward them to him. Our thoughts and prayers are with Ed and his family. We all miss her very much

  • Tuesday, August 10, 7:00 PM: Meet Your Candidates Forum (note the early start time)
    The New River/Desert Hills Community Association (NR/DHCA) will be hosting its biennial  “Meet Your Candidates” night on Tuesday, August 10 at the Crossroads Christian Fellowship Church located at 42425 N. New River Road. The meeting will begin at the special time of 7:00 PM and will run until 9:00 PM.

    Candidates running for specific positions (Arizona Governor, US Congressional District 3, and Legislative District 6) have been invited to attend. This is a wonderful opportunity to meet many of the individuals who are running for public office in our community. It’s your chance to listen to and ask questions about the issues that matter most to you. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn first-hand about the candidates for the August 24 primaries.

    Everyone is welcome to attend. If you have questions or comments, you may submit them by contacting NR/DHCA at 623-742-0150 or nrdhca@gmail.com.

  • Litter Pick-Up Lead Needed.
    It’s time for someone new to take over the job so well done for many years by Ed Grant. As happens to us all, he has found he cannot do everything anymore. The job is not hard or very time consuming. The duties include:
    • Pick 4 dates for the litter pick up (usually a Saturday after one of our Community Meetings)
    • Contact Alva Tovar of McDOT to obtain any needed supplies (i.e. safety vests, trash bags, gloves, T-shirts and fold up signs).
    • If needed, contact Alva Tovar to set up an Initial Safety Briefing.
    • Keep the inventory of Special Event Waiver Form, McDOT supplies, and bag holders.
    • Provide safety instructions to all participants.
    • Provide McDOT one week notice to arrange to pick up the litter we gather.
    • Have all participants fill out and sign the Special Event Waiver Form and then send it to Alva Tovar at McDOT.
    • Designate for each team (2-3 participants) the portion they will clean.
