Officer Sue Shine and GOCHA have decided to cancel Thursday evening’s meeting due to the conflict with Glenoaks School’s Open House.  It will be rescheduled and we will let you know the new date as soon as it has been arranged.  Sorry for the last minute notice but we want the kick off meeting to be as well attended as possible.  Thank you for your interest in this new program. We will see you soon.

Officer Sue Shine from the Glendale Police Department will be at Joe Bridges Clubhouse at Glenoaks Park this coming Thursday, May 26th from 6-8 PM to help us set up a Neighborhood Watch Program here in the canyon. Hope you can join us for this important meeting.

Some of you may have seen in the Glendale News-Press on the 12th that Library Director Cindy Cleary is recommending that Parks and Recreation take over the Chevy Chase Library, with the idea that it would become a community center for classes and other activities.  Its status as a library would be in question.  Rest assured that both the Chevy Chase Library Volunteers and the Chevy Chase Estates Association are working on drafting responses to this proposal.  For the time being, the Volunteers will continue to present programs, as always.  See what’s coming up this weekend and beyond:

Thanks to the efforts of GOCHA, the Glendale PD, the Glendale FD, and the City Council, a new ordiance was passed closing “fire hazard severity zones” or open hillsides between the hours of 10pm and 6am. This will hopefully curb partying and other activities in the hillsides that pose potential fire hazards. The ordiance is not just for our canyon but for all of Glendale.

Here is the ordinance: more…
