GCA Board Virtual Meetings in July
|
The GCA Board of Directors is holding the Board meeting via GoToMeeting on 2 July from 5 PM to 7 PM, and 16 July from 7 PM to 9 PM. By joining the "virtual" meeting you can listen to the proceedings from start to finish. If the Board schedules an executive session, the general meeting will end and the Board will meet separately to discuss contract and/or legal issues. The agenda and Board packet will be published on the Glenmore website ahead of the meetings and the minutes of the meetings will also be posted.
If you would like to participate in the Board meeting, please contact Tim Durrer at 434-984-0700 or click

Bear Sightings in Glenmore
|
After our bear sighting this past week we'll be starting a series of newsletter items on wild animal safety in the community. The first of the series is on bears and is taken and edited from the US National Park Service (NPS).
If you spot a bear in our community:
- Maintain a distance of at least 50 yards
- Make noise (clap, yell, etc.) to make sure the bear knows you are present
- If the bear moves towards you, move away slowly and do not turn your back to the bear. DO NOT run from a bear. If you have no escape, stand tall, wave your arms, yell, clap and throw rocks to deter the bear.
- If you are on one of our trails, stay alert and take a detour but do not surround the bear.
- Retreat to your home or vehicle if the bear is in or near your property
- NEVER feed a bear. Do not leave any food or garbage out in the open. Secure your trash containers in a closed area or garage.
- If you perceive that a bear is 'hanging out", looking for food in your trash, or on your property, report the incident to the Albemarle County Animal Control at 434-296-5807 or on their website.

Volleyball at the Sports Field

While social distancing prevents us from playing organized sports, there are still some outdoor activities that a family unit can engage in at the Glenmore sports field. Plenty of room to run around, kick a soccer ball, play volleyball, shoot some hoops, play horseshoes and bocce. We have equipment at the Sports Field. If you want to use the equipment, contact Thelma Washington at 434-984-0700.
NOTE: Please follow all CDC and VA State social distancing rules.
