The Halloween Bonfire was Excellent!
Thanks for coming!
On October 31, the annual Greentree Halloween bonfire took place. Over 100 adults, kids, several dogs and one cat attended the evening event. Hot chocolate was consumed and the fire was warm as well.
Special thanks to Bonnie and Steve Henningfield for suppling the hot cocoa; cocoa servers Barbara and Andrew Torres, Helen and Pat Sheahan, Maddy Scott; fire management by Mayo and Dave Ewanowski, Ian Scott; firewood provided and delivered by Kathy and Joel Batha; permits, set up, and breakdown by Jay Russell and Allan Bricker; Betty Zahid for allowing us to use her water to extinguish the fire.
GTNA Board Members Needed!
The Greentree Neighborhood Association (GTNA) needs your help. We need board members to assist in keeping the Greentree Neighborhood a vibrant, active community for all of us residents. This year is the 60th Anniversary of the GTNA. We need help to continue this long tradition of community involvement.
The GTNA Board meets nine times a year for an hour. Nine hours. Not a huge commitment. A small core of less than ten people represent and plan for a neighborhood of over 700 homes. We are asking for you to commit to the nine hours and potentially a few more hours a year on special occasions to make this neighborhood special. “Many hands make light work.” If you can help us out, please email Pres@gtna.org for more information. Thank you.
