The Glendale Community Action Group
Fourteen Glendale residents met at Glendale Baptist Church
on March 14, 2010 and formed Glendale Community Action,
a citizens group dedicated to creating a better Glendale.
Community residents organized the gathering with support from
Spartanburg Educators for Empowered Communities (SEEC) organizer Lindy
Bunch. Others offering significant assistance were student volunteers from
the Wofford College Bonner Scholars Program, the Wofford College Office
of Community Sustainability, and students from an upper-level religion course
taught by Prof. Levi McLaughlin.
Items of discussion were community issues such as citizen
involvement in the changes that are occurring in Glendale, ways to engage
village youth, and activities such as a neighborhood clean-up. For
more information, please contact Cindy and Joey Bishop, Glendale residents
and temporary GCA representatives, at (864) 579-2534.
An online newsletter will be published at (http://spartanburgeducators.wordpress.com.
)
Their next meeting will be on Sunday, April 25, 2010 at 3:00
pm at the Glendale Baptist Church. County Councilwoman, Jane Hall will be
at the meeting. Everyone interested in improving the Glendale community
is invited to attend.
