2007 Winter Tree Giveaway
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.


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.>
