Life in Galloway Village is never boring. The scenery changes with the seasons, and our wildlife never ceases to amaze. This year, we want to celebrate this by dedicating our 2022 calendar to the wildlife of Galloway Village, and we need the assistance of our neighbors. We need photos of various types of wildlife, encompassing the seasons. If you would like to submit a photo, use #gallowaywildlife and post it on our Facebook page Galloway Village Neighbors. The goal is to have our 2022 calendar available at our next association meeting, scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Oct. 19 at Galloway Baptist Church.
Those attending the meeting will be able to see our recently planted Giving Tree, located in the front west-end lawn of Galloway Baptist Church. This evergreen is not yet tall, but will grow each year. This tree will be the location of our annual holiday gathering. Each year, we ask our neighbors to bring donations to help our neighbors enjoy the holidays more. The date and specific information on the event will be posted on our Facebook page and on our website, GallowayVillage.org.
If you have not recently visited our website, GallowayVillage.org, please take a look! Our site is now easier to use and allows our neighbors who are not on Facebook to stay informed. Our business partners are also listed on this site, letting our neighbors become familiar with businesses within our association boundaries. If you know of a business within the GVNA boundaries that would be interested in becoming one of our business partners, let us know! Just email us at gallowayvillage@gmail.com.
The dates/times for upcoming events, including our stream cleanups, will be posted on both the GVNA website and Facebook pages. Our stream cleanups are a fun and rewarding way to keep the stream that runs through Sequiota Park litter free. Plus, the added bonus of discussing the interesting finds at the end of the day!
Another way of becoming involved with GVNA is in sharing some joy to our neighbors. This can be done by joining us for the annual Bass Pro Marathon cheering contest. We have won top prize both years we have entered, and always welcome more to join in the fun. The marathon takes place this year on Sunday, Nov. 7. Spreading the joy can also done by lighting up your home during the holidays and sharing a photo. Prizes will be awarded for the most dazzling homes. One of our goals is to have Galloway Village become a go-to neighborhood for seeing holiday lights. Keep an eye on our website and Facebook page for more information!
