Civic League seeks new members

The Greencastle Civic League is seeking new members.

The women’s group was founded in 1984 and continues to focus on beautification, clean-up, cultural development and general improvement of life in Greencastle.

The executive committee will host an open call for members at 6:30 p.m. Monday, Sept. 24 in the community room of Starbucks. A public presentation will be followed by a question-and-answer session and a meet-and-greet with members.

“This is an exciting time for our city and we’re seeking new members who can help us continue to make Greencastle a better place to live through clean-up activities, painting murals, connecting community organizations and resources and more,” Civic League President Heather Wright said.

Greencastle Civic League meets monthly on the second Monday at 6:30 p.m. and dues are $45.

Prospective members are encouraged, though not required, to RSVP for the meeting to greencastlecivicleagueinc@gmail.com.

Since the founding of the Civic League 34 years ago, major projects include the construction of the Emerald Palace playground at Robe-Ann Park, the creation of the Bob York Splash Park and a number of murals downtown.

The group is currently helping to raise funds for the new bandshell and facilitates ParkFest, the 4th of July Pancake Breakfast and two annual highway clean-ups of its sponsored portion of the Veterans Memorial Highway. Learn more at www.GreencastleCivicLeague.org.
