December 2011  Santa is Coming!  For the second year in a row, Santa Claus is coming to visit at 914 Redbird Drive on Friday, December 9, and Friday, December 16, from 7 to 9 pm. Stop by with your family and friends and enjoy a visit with Santa, take pictures, drink hot cocoa, eat cookies and candy canes and enjoy the company of friends. This year we are collecting for Second Harvest Food Bank, so please bring canned food to donate.  Two barrels will be in the driveway at 914 Redbird starting Thursday, December 8, until Monday, December 19.  If you can't stop by to visit Santa, consider just bringing some canned food to donate to Second Harvest.

Thank you and Happy Holidays to Everyone. 

November 2011 It's almost Christmas Tree time!  The custom of neighbors putting lighted Charlie Brown Christmas Trees on their front lawn is an old and cherished tradition in Willow Glen.  Dawn Smith introduced this tradition into our own neighborhood about 10 years ago.  It began with Lanewood Dr. and Lanewood Ct. and participation has increased to include the entire neighborhood.  Over 100 households participated in 2010.  Orders were placed in October; if you didn't get a chance to order one, you can find similar-sized trees at local tree lots.  Traditionally, two sets of traditional colored lights, an extension cord and a support bar are needed.  A white light should be at the top of the tree.  Trees are set up approximately 17 feet from the curb in the center of your lawn.  Using this guideline, the trees on the street should be positioned in a reasonably straight line.  All trees should be lit by the first week in December.  This event unifies our neighborhood and brings a spirit of celebration.  We look forward to even greater participation this year.  If you have questions, contact Dawn Smith – 269-0796.

 

New Website!
Welcome to the new CGNA website.  We'd love your feedback as we continue to grow this website into a useful information resource for residents and visitors to the neighborhood we call home.  P.S.  If you know someone with web-design/graphical talent that they'd be willing to share, we know the site could use their graphical skills.  Please have them contact us.

Here are a few commonly-visited links to get you started with the new menu:
