OFFICIAL NEWSLETTER OF THE VALLEY GLEN NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION
Volume 12, Issue 1 www.valleyglen.org Winter 2013

Your VGNA Board:
Carlos Ferreyra
President

Dean Abston
Vice President

From Our President Carlos Ferreyra — Another year is upon us and we must ask ourselves, “Did the Mayans just run out of space on their rock when carving out their calendar?” As your Association (“VGNA”) moves forward this new year to continue its work of improving the quality of life in our community, we strive to transform it into a much more dynamic and exciting group. But our core values will remain intact: to serve the community, to engage the residents, to be their voice and to do so with pride in Valley Glen.
2012 was a great year for VGNA. Our Adopt-A-Family program, spearheaded by Judy Price, was able to help a record number of families. The annual picnic drew a great number of people with wonderful praises for the fun everyone had. Some of our general meetings had record attendance. But the work continues. We must restore the Neighborhood Watch program that once covered every block in Valley Glen. We must create a closer partnership with our Neighborhood Council to strengthen the representation of Valley Glen in City matters. We must engage our growing small business community to participate in VGNA’s events and concerns. We must make 2013 a banner year for the Valley Glen Neighborhood Association. With your help and participation, all things are possible.

Over 25 years ago, Bienvenidos began providing services throughout the Los Angeles Counties and continues to develop new services as needed.

Efforts to expand nationally or internationally have not been approached at this time.

    1) Bill Young believes that because his employees were not responsible for the 9/11 attacks, they should not have to suffer loss of income as a consequence. Businesses are always subject to economic forces over which they have little or no control. Should the business response to something like the 9/11 attacks be any different from the response to “normal” fluctuations in the business cycle? If so, why and how? If not, why not? How does the example set by Aaron Feuerstein influence your decision?…

    I am presenting this evening my Informative Speech. That was then….and this is now. I call Culpeper, Virginia home. Though, the small town I knew growing up was Springfield, Virginia. I would like to tell you and share some of my memories about growing up in Northern Virginia and of its changes that have occurred over the decades. Growing up Springfield really was small town USA. The normal commuter was traveling south onto interstate 95 from Washington, D.C. which is now is exit 169A and a permanent memory etched in my brain. Throughout the 1970’s there was only three very small strip shopping malls the served a country setting population. Then the 1980’s came, and flooded the suburbs with malls.

    First I will report about the local Boys and Girls Club within Henderson County. On November 1st 1993 The Boys & Girls Club of Henderson Co. opened its doors to 150 youth in the Green Meadows Community Center. (This 2000-sq.-ft. room now houses the Club’s game-room and a kitchen.) (3). In 1995 The Club obtained two adjacent houses—one eventually renovated into a teen center (1250 sq. ft.), and one renovated into a classroom facility and counseling center (1200 sq. ft.) (3). In February 1996 The Club opened a 12,000-square-foot addition of classrooms, lobby, office space and a large gymnasium to serve the expanding membership (3). Between the years of 1998 and 1999 The Club operated a satellite unit in an old school annex building in East Flat Rock, expanding the Club’s reach into other parts of Henderson County (3).

Currently in the Henderson County branch of the Boys and Girls Club…
