Golden Valley Community Club is Closed for the Winter

The Golden Valley Community Club is closed for the winter.
________________________________________________________

There will be no meeting January 17.

The heat pump at the clubhouse has been a real blessing and we're glad to have it, but when it's extremely cold it's not sufficient to heat the building. And it's expensive. With fewer community club members and the loss of our community elders, who used the wood stove to make sure the plumbing did not freeze, we can't afford to keep the building open.



And yes, we do have rentals. We charge $25.00 to rent the clubhouse, but when it's cold $25.00 doesn't come close to paying the electric bill. So, the decision was made to drain the waterlines and to shut the building down for the rest of the winter. The building has been winterized by David Bracket and Frank Perez. (Thank you guys).

The community club members might meet at one of our church families fellowship halls, but not this month.

Journey Scholarships available to GVCC Seniors

From Linda Lamp, Director of WNC Communities, January 20, 2011
"It is an honor for WNC Communities to offer The Journey Scholarship Program to youth in our communities preparing to enter college. Last year, $7,500 in scholarships was awarded to seven deserving high school seniors continuing their education.

Attached is the Journey Scholarship Application for 2011. The criteria for this scholarship are listed on page two and the deadline to get the completed application postmarked and into the WNC Communities’ Office is April 4, 2011. Please familiarize yourself with the application particularly noting the “Community Confirmation” section on the final page. This is where we need a community officer to sign the application to help confirm the high school senior applying for the Journey Scholarship actually live in and/or participate in your community. It is important to note the application process is open to high school seniors in communities that participated in the 2010 WNC Honors Awards Program."

Golden Valley did, in fact, participate in the Community Program and it would be our pleasure to endorse a student. Here's a link to Google Docs so you can download the application. Journey Scholarship 2011
