Now that we are settled in to the new year, its time for everyone to send in your annual membership dues. We depend on these dues to fund such things as the Annual Meeting and Pancake Breakfast and to fight the expansion of the landfill. We hope that you will take the time to download the 2017 GOCHA Membership Form and send in your dues today. Thank you in advance.
For those of you who did not receive the Echo in your mailbox, or for those of you who enjoy the Echo that no longer live in the canyon, here is the digital version of the Winter 2017 Echo. Hope you like the new design and layout. Winter 2017 Echo

If you haven't already renewed for 2016, it's not too late. You can download the form right from here. GOCHA relies on your membership funds to host events, publish the ECHO four times a year and provide a voice for the canyon to fight things that might impact our quality of life (and property values) like the landfill expansion.
Thanks in advance.
Please join us for an informational meeting to learn about concerns Dr. Clarence Hall, Geologist and UCLA Professor Emeritus, has about the Scholl Canyon Landfill, its possible expansion and the EIR report that is slated to go before Glendale City Council for approval this coming January.
Is the landfill built on solid granite?
Are all the earthquake faults included in the EIR?
Are the barriers that collect toxic waste being monitored regularly?
These questions and more will be discussed at this meeting Monday, November 9th at 7:00pm at the Joe Bridges Clubhouse.
