Greater Valley Glen Council We promote Stakeholder participation in local issues affecting our community and make government mor

A Neighborhood Council's purpose is to promote Stakeholder participation in local issues affecting their community, and to make government more responsive to local needs. To achieve this goal, the voters passed Charter reforms in 1999, creating the Citywide System of Neighborhood Councils through the Deparment of Neighborhood Empowerment. The Greater Valley Glen Council (GVGC) was formed in 1996 and was certified as the 42nd Neighborhood Council on August 27, 2002. The GVGC consists of committed commuity stakeholders who plan and implement community projects to foster improvement. The GVGC shall seek to enhance the economic vitality and quality of life of the community, to preserve and enhance its character and prevent its deterioration. A Stakeholder is anyone who lives, works or owns property within the Council boundaries. In addition, a Stakeholder is anyone who participates in educational institutions, religious institutions and community organizations. As a Stakeholder you can participate by:

* Attending meetings the first Monday of each month at Valley College, Cafeteria Conference Room, 5800 Fulton Avenue, Valley Glen.
* Be on our email list to be notified of important issues and meetings.
* Take a position on issues.
* Run for a seat on the Board of Directors.
* Vote for the Board of Directors.

This month, Shine LA will be held on Saturday, October 24 at the East Valley Animal Shelter (14409 Vanowen St. Van nuys, CA 91405) from 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM and we would love to see you and your neighbors there! YOU CAN REGISTER HERE: https://app.impactive.io/campaigns/mayor-s-office-of-community-engagement-moce/activities/uykclqyd

This Shine LA will consist of two components: a pet resource fair outside in the shelter’s parking lot and adoptions and shelter-related volunteer activities inside. Please note that pets will not be allowed inside the shelter for the safety of all animals. If you plan to bring your pet for resources but would like to see the shelter animals available for adoption, please bring a friend to watch your pet for you outside.

We are also excited to share that all adoption fees (with the exception of a mandatory $20 license) will be waived for the duration of the event! Shelter pets come vaccinated, chipped, and spayed/neutered. If you are considering adopting at all, we highly encourage you to come between 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM and see if your new best friend is there!

Additionally, ahead of the event, we will collect donations for our new adoptee care bag assembly activity for Shine LA all the way through October 23 in the Van Nuys City Hall lobby. We need items such as bulk dog and cat toys, kitty litter, treats, and more.

1,000 volunteers needed to help make a difference in the Sepulveda Basin! Join us and Friends of the LA River on Saturday, Oct. 24, from 9 a.m. to noon, for a massive community cleanup and tree-planting event to restore and beautify one of the San Fernando Valley’s most treasured green spaces.

The Sepulveda Basin is an important place for recreation, wildlife and our environment, and keeping it clean and healthy takes all of us. Whether you’re a student looking to earn community service hours or a neighbor who wants to give back, this is your opportunity to make a lasting impact.

Meet us at Anthony C. Beilenson Park, 6300 Balboa Blvd., Van Nuys. The event will take place rain or shine, and community service certificates will be available.
