We hope you will enjoy our neighborhood as much as we do.
Volunteer for a Committee!
A civic association is only as strong as it’s participating members!
The Green Acres Civic Association is working for you. Why not join your neighbors to spread the work among many rather than a few? Give back to the community with your time and ideas, where they will be put to good use!
If you would like to volunteer for a committee or specific project please email greenacrescivic@gmail.com
