Good Neighbors!

At our final meeting of 2013, we celebrated our good neighbors! We elected an enthusiastic slate of new and renewing board members, heard from neighborhood school Principals Higgins (John Morse) and Simmons (Harkness), our District 5 Councilmember Jay Schenirer, and you are neighbors! Much appreciation to the Gilbert family who picked the persimmons provided.

You can still contribute to our Secret Santa project; mail tax deductible checks to: GCTENA, PO Box 231576, Sacramento 95823. 

Remember our holiday lights judge Tim Mendonsa will choose the top three winners sometime in December. Everyone get ready to sparkle, sparkle, twinkle, twinkle!

Elizabeth and Joyce shared stories of the special neighbors in their lives.
