GOCHA board members Joan Morris and Gerry Rankin delivered the GOCHA Position paper regarding the Scholl Canyon Landfill. This paper expresses our opposition to the proposed expansion of the landfill that is being considered by the city. The final copy of the position paper is attached here. [Please note the file is rather large and may take a bit to load.]

If you want to give back a little to our beautiful canyon and have a couple hours free Saturday morning, a group of Canyon residents will be getting together this Saturday, 5/16 at 9am for the Annual Glenoaks Canyon Cleanup. We'll be meeting at Glenoaks and Mt. Carmel and we'll spend an hour or two picking up trash and doing our part to make our awesome canyon just a little bit more awesome.
If interested please bring a rake an/or a broom, some large garden type trash bags and some work gloves. Hope to see you there.

It's that time of year again. Time for all our canyon's four-legged friends to meet at the park with their families and enjoy a beautiful spring day filled with fun. So come on out and witness the spectacle, the fun, and good friends for the annual Bow Wow Pow Wow today at 11am at Glenoaks Park. As usual there will be a costume contest, agility course, dog tricks, and of course the pooch parade.
See you there!

You may have seen the sign at the entrance to the canyon or the membership form in the most recent ECHO, but in case you still haven't sent in your 2015 membership form, you can download it here. For as little as $15.00 you can help GOCHA with everything we do for our lovely neighborhood. GOCHA uses funds to put on great events like the annual meeting, pancake breakfast, disaster preparedness program and the spring dog parade. But we also use the funds to fight things that affect our neighborhood's quality of life like the proposed expansion of the Glenoaks Landfill and to fight irresponsible development in the canyon.
Please help and renew your membership now.
You have probably already gotten your copy of the 2015 Winter ECHO delivered to your door by our dedicated (and fit) neighborhood volunteers, but in case you prefer to consume your neighborhood news digitally, here is a PDF of the latest ECHO. Enjoy. 2015 Winter ECHO
Isabelle Meyer, who heads up our canyon's Disaster Preparedness program, has arranged a special offer for canyon residents. 55 gallon emergency water barrels will help you prepare for a natural disaster by providing enough clean drinking water for a family of four for 10 days. The barrels come with everything you need including the barrel, a pump, and the treatment drops that will allow you to store water for up to five years (after five years, just dump the water out and refill and retreat the new water for another five years).
Isabelle has been kind enough to arrange the sale and delivery to the canyon of 50 of these barrels so if you are interested, they will be sold on a first come, first served basis. Each barrel is selling for $82.50.
If you are interested, please call Isabelle Meyer at 818–242–4290.
