FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Fourteen Glendale residents met at Glendale Baptist Church this past Sunday and formed Glendale Community Action, a citizens group dedicated to creating a better Glendale.
Community residents organized the gathering with support from Spartanburg Educators for Empowered Communities (SEEC) organizer Lindy Bunch. Others offering significant assistance were student volunteers from the Wofford College Bonner Scholars Program, the Wofford College Office of Community Sustainability, and students from an upper-level religion course taught by Prof. Levi McLaughlin.
Items of discussion were community issues such as citizen involvement in the changes that are occurring in Glendale, ways to engage village youth, and activities such as a neighborhood clean-up.
GCA member and Glendale resident Kristin Taylor has volunteered to contact and invite County Councilwoman Jane Hall to the next meeting, which will be scheduled at the Councilwoman’s convenience.
Attached are the minutes from the meeting. For more information, please contact Cindy and Joey Bishop, Glendale residents and temporary GCA representatives, at 864.579.2534.
An online newsletter will be published by Friday at 5pm on http://spartanburgeducators.wordpress.com. Contact with SEEC can be made through spartanburgeducators@gmail.com or 803.331.8680.
