BUTTERFLY GARDEN NEEDS YOU
Come celebrate Earth Day by joining a workday in the Butterfly Garden, at the far end of the Contractor's Parking Lot, on Saturday, April 20, from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. You'll help the butterflies and plants even if you can only help for a few minutes. Bring gloves. Tools will be provided. Enjoy new opportunities for weeding, mulching, picking up trash. Questions? Contact Nan Allen, allenns277@gmail.com, or Shirley Gay, shirleywg@icloud.com.

REQUEST KEY FOBS NOW
Residents can request the new parking garage key fobs for both garages. The new fob introduces a wireless system that allows residents to open the garage without scanning their card. The fob is only used for entering the garage, not the building. Use your current card for entry to the building. Residents submit their new key fob requests at the Reception Desk Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. It will be programmed for your individual access and put in your front desk mailbox later. There is no charge. 

CAN'T GET GH_SECWIFI?
The GHBC Information Technology staff has scheduled a drop-in clinic for Thursday, April 18, from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. During this time, you may bring your mobile device to the Top of the West if you need assistance reconnecting it to the GH_SECWIFI network. Please note that this clinic is only for those who need assistance connecting to the network regarding the recent update.

Three brief tutorials on connecting your device to the network will be posted on the GHBC Resident Website by 5:00 p.m. Monday, April 15. At that time, go to GHBCResidents.org, look for the “Special Services” tab, and click on “IT Services.” There, you will find the tutorials for the update specific to your device.

CLINIC CLOSES SATURDAYS
The Clinic will be closed on Saturdays through May 11 while GHBC waits to welcome a new Clinic staff member. This provides more onsite assistance Monday through Friday from the nursing team, Interdisciplinary Operations Manager Ann Lam said. The Clinic will resume Saturday hours on Saturday, May 18, when it will be open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. 

ELECTRIC CAR CHARGERS
A fire safely consultant has recommended that GHBC remove all electric car chargers from the garages due to the risk of a fire. The car chargers have been removed from both garages as a precaution. There is an electric car charger located in guest parking near the Pointe building. Administration plans to relocate the chargers from the garages in spaces above ground over the next few weeks.

ORDER MEALS ONLINE
Curious about online ordering? Join Dining Service Operations Manager Daniel Ghidey's class on Thursday, April 18, from 11:00 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. in the Board Room to learn how to navigate the new online ordering system. Reserve your spot by signing up in the Resident Business Center.

GHBC will have a covid vaccine clinic on Tuesday, April 23, and Wednesday, April 24, in the Auditorium. Staff will put a slip in residents' mailboxes with assigned times by the end of the day on Friday, April 19. If you do not want this vaccine or have already received your second dose of the updated 2023–2024 formula, email ghbcvax@goodwinliving.org or call Shelby Garlick at ext. 7271, so she can remove you from the list.
