The goal of our Social Committee is to increase opportunities to get to know our neighbors and build community spirit. Social events give us a chance to get to know folks who have recently moved to our neighborhood as well as renew friendships with long-standing members of the neighborhood.

In past years, we have held Ice Cream Socials, Block Parties and Community Garage Sales as well as an Annual Meeting. Based on the success of these events, we plan to repeat them each year. We are always looking for new ways to connect. If you have suggestions for community events, want to volunteer to help with a specific event or would like to join the Social Committee, please contact Amanda Schneider at amandajane17@gmail.com or (719)-331-7705.

The “ Grateful Deadheaders” is our neighborhood garden group which has met the last Sunday of each month April through September since 2020. Everyone is welcome to join us to learn about the monthly special gardening topic, as well as to discuss our various gardening issues, share bulbs and plant clippings, and to visit some of our well-landscaped neighborhood gardens. With our members’ various levels of expertise and interest, we are willing to offer ideas and advice on anyone’s plant questions and landscaping challenges. No gardening expertise or experience required – just bring your interest in gardening!

Contact Susan Henderson at (719) 641-1151 or sjhenderson53@gmail.com for information about upcoming meeting dates and locations.
