An excerpt from our 2024 newsletter:
Greetings neighbors, and welcome to GMCA! If you live in Green Mountain Estates, you’re invited to participate in all the community events and initiatives brought to you by Green Mountainside Civic Association, a non-HOA organization run by neighborhood volunteers and funded by voluntary annual dues. We formed in 1981 “to promote the common good and social welfare” of our neighborhood and Lakewood and have been striving to achieve those goals ever since!
We Organize Neighborhood Events: Our signature events are the Spring and Fall Clean-Up Events, which give members the opportunity to dispose of items not collected by the trash service free of charge, as well as family-friendly activities like the Independence Day Parade, National Night Out Block Party, Community Garage Sale, and Holiday Lights Contest. In 2023 we also paraded with a West Metro fire truck on the 4th of July and provided groceries for 20 families through our Adopt-A-Family fundraiser. We Support Parks and Open Spaces: GMCA has worked with the City of Lakewood to obtain grants for the construction of Mountainside Park, Foothills Park, the Community Garden, and the Field of Dreams at Foothills Elementary. We are currently compiling grant proposal ideas to improve Peterson Park on Ohio Drive.
We Promote Community Partnerships: GMCA supports Foothills Elementary School through its involvement in Whiz Kids tutoring club, the Adopt-A-Family Fundraiser, and Run-Day Fun-Day sponsorship. This year, we welcomed Principal Shannon Schneider to the Foothills community. We invite Lakewood Police and West Metro Fire District to community meetings to provide safety updates and answer community questions. We partner with Lakewood Church of Christ and invite all neighbors to the Easter Egg Hunt and Trunk- or-Treat festivities.
Join Us! Attend a GMCA meeting at Green Mountain United Methodist Church on the first Thursday of each month at 7 p.m. And sign up for our email bulletins to keep up with neighborhood news. GMCA activities are funded solely by annual membership dues. 2024 dues are $35. Your support helps us keep Green Mountain Estates a wonderful place to live. Use the enclosed dues form to join GMCA today!
