There are still a few owners who have not paid their 2013 Association Dues, which were payable by March 1. Perhaps you didn't receive an invoice? If this includes you, then please immediately contact our book-keeper, Barbara Grzymala, at 293-9931.

The recently elected GCA Board of Directors has decided to update the 5-Year Strategic Plan for Glenmore which was last compiled in 2008.  An updated plan would provide the framework within which the GCA can develop with the growing community over the next few years.  We are looking for a few volunteers to participate as members of a Committee which will put the plan together.  No specific experience is required.  Please let us know if you're interested - email us at [email protected] or call Trevor Joscelyne at 971-1350.

Thank you to the hundreds of Glenmore residents who have taken the opportunity to correct and update on-line their family's information used by the gatehouse!  If you've not yet done so, you are strongly encouraged to check out your information on line via the gatehouse page of the GCA website.  If you don't have the initial password that was sent to you in the recent email, it can be sent to you as part of the log-in process.

This is also now the preferred way to tell the gatehouse about your visitors, since it avoids the need for the gatehouse staff to manually re-enter the information themselves, and takes effect almost immediately.  If you're going away for a while, perhaps on vacation, you can also enter your absence dates on-line, which will automatically show in the gatehouse system that you're out of town. And of course you can update your vehicles, family members, and permanent guests this way too.

This year's spring limb and branch pickup will begin on Monday April 8th. It may take a week or more to complete, depending on the weather. Leave branches to be chipped at your roadside by 8:00 AM that Monday, but please do not put them out more than one week in advance.  Limbs can be up to 8" diameter.  Place the large ends of branches all facing in the same direction. Also check adjacent common areas, parks, and vacant lots for branches needing to be chipped.  If you want a load of chips left in your driveway for use as mulch please call Frank Keplinger on 977-0189.

 

Not to be chipped: Stumps, leaves, shrubbery, dirt, lumber, metal, or large-scale lot clearing.   

 

Two dumpsters will again be available for residents' use for large item disposal from Saturday April 27 to Sunday May 5.  The dumpsters will be located near the RV Parking lot area by the soccer field, at the east end of Carroll Creek Road. Please flatten empty boxes, and do not leave items on the ground. No items may be left in the area after the dumpsters are removed. This service is for residents only, no contractors please.

 

Not to be dumped:  Tires, TV sets, paint cans with paint, propane gas tanks, waste oil or driveway sealer, or hazardous materials.    

 

 As in the past few years, the Charlottesville/Albemarle SPCA Rummage Store will have a truck available at the same location as the dumpsters on Saturday, April 27th, from 8:30 - 4:30 pm to receive donations for their thrift store.  There will be two men to help you shift it from your vehicle to the truck.  Please consider donating unwanted household items rather than throwing them away.  Your donations will help the shelter maintain its mission as a "no-kill" facility. (Check out their website: caspca.org, or contact Jan Cubbage at 409-1258 if you have any questions).  

 

 

Although dogs are allowed to exercise on the soccer field, children use this field also, so dog owners are reminded that they must pick up after their dogs!
