Beautification Day at Tulsa Street Elementary School - Apr. 26, 2008

The GHSNC purchased $500 worth of beautiful flowers to help beautify our neighborhood elementary school. The day was a success with volunteers from the community helping to plant the school's new garden. Half of the garden was completed with another half scheduled for completion by spring of 2009. The Outreach Committee and the Board, in general, looks forward to assisting other community projects to help keep Granada Hills clean and green.



December 2007 Tree Giveaway


Jim Yoder Goes The Extra Mile: Delivering a Tree to Stakeholder's Car

On Sunday, December 15, 2007 the GHSNC hosted a Million Trees LA Giveaway at the Granada Hills Recreation Center. About 100 stakeholders participated and were the recipients of 50 trees of three different varieties.

Many board members showed their support for the activity and assisted in serving at the table and even taking trees to stakeholders' cars. Special thanks to Sean Rivas, Bonnie Marie Bursk, Mark Barrionuevo, Julie Carson, Lottie Van Emden, Jim Yoder, Rob Norris, and Tessa Charnofsky of the Mayor's Office. Without their individual and combined assistance, this event would have not been the great success it was.

The free sandwiches, cookies, brownies, chips, bottled water and ice cream were drew large crowds and interest. In our little way, our community and neighborhood council have assisted in adding shade, oxygen and beauty to our area. Thanks to everyone who participated and adopted trees.>
