An excerpt from our 2023 newsletter:
Greetings neighbors, and welcome to GMCA! If you live in Green Mountain Estates, you're invited to participate in all of our community events and initiatives, brought to you by the Green Mountainside Civic Association, a non-HOA organization run by neighborhood volunteers and funded by voluntary annual dues. Last year, we cleaned up the neighborhood by disposing of almost 150 cubic yards of waste at our June and September Clean-Up events. Our family-friendly events included the Independence Day Parade, National Night Out Block Party, and Easter Egg Hunt. We had a busy Community Garage Sale weekend with over 35 homes hosting sales.
In addition to organizing neighborhood activities, 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. We also purchased and maintain the welcoming signs at the entrances to our neighborhood.
Although we have not raised our voluntary $25 annual membership dues in over 15 years, we have seen a 35% decrease in membership during that time while facing rising costs. GMCA would like to continue promoting the activities that make our community a great place to live. We DO NOT want to eliminate events. Therefore, membership dues will remain at $25 for 2023 with the hope that more of our 1,100 homes will join GMCA! Without a return to historic membership participation, dues will increase to $40 in 2024. Please join us this year!
