Greenbrier-Cloverdale Homeowners Association

GCHOA Has Near-Death Experience, Revives

Feb 23, 2000

On November 30th a relatively small group of homeowners assembled in Lasley Elementary School?’s cafeteria, not knowing if they would witness the passing of the GCHOA or not. The meeting was called by the Association?’s out-going president, Rose Lockard, whose term was expiring, to determine if there was still a mission for the organization and, if so, what it was, and who would carry it out.
At stake was the future of a neighborhood association formed nearly 19 years ago which, in its heyday, was a force to be reckoned with on rezoning and development issues, a unifying influence in the neighborhood, and a contributor to major neighborhood activities and improvements.
A lengthy discussion ensued on concerns such as the Mississippi Ave. improvements, possible deactivation of Neighborhood Watch blocks, removal of the radio tower to end phone interference, enforcement of covenants, long-range plans for Lasley Park and ?“the Pond,?” the annual garage sale and activities to bring people together, and trash service. A consensus emerged that the GCHOA was still needed. Crawford Hayes moved that the association be kept alive and elect new Board members; this was seconded by Dick Bryan and passed unanimously. New board members were elected by volunteering and all were heartily approved.
The group applauded Rose for her work as president, and the torch was passed to the five new Board members, all but one entirely new to the Board.
