An excerpt from our 2022 newsletter: Greetings, neighbors! In 2021, we were excited to bring back a few of our postponed neighborhood events. Over 30 homes participated in the Annual Community Garage Sale. The 4th of July Parade was a great success, featuring decorated bicycles and scooters and cheering spectators. We had a great turn-out at the 'National Night-Out Block Party' which promotes first-responder/community partnerships. At the 2021 Fall Clean-up, neighbors were able to conveniently dispose of their junk and we filled two large dumpsters. GMCA participated in the Field of Dreams event at Foothills Elementary to share resources and fun activities with our community. As we move into 2022, we are asking neighbors not only for your continued support but also for you to volunteer for GMCA. All of our events are FREE to Green Mountain neighbors. Your voluntary annual contribution of $25 to GMCA helps keep Green Mountain Estates a great place to live! Green Mountainside Civic Association (GMCA) is a non-HOA organization run by volunteers who are residents of the neighborhood. In addition to organizing neighborhood events, GMCA promotes the preservation and creation of 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 Foothills Elementary Field of Dreams. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact GMCA President, Diane Rhodus, at dirho@comcast.net.
