Events and Projects
Fall Affair
Last year we were so happy to be back at Commander’s Palace with record crowds. Set your sites on a repeat this Fall as we gather on September 27. Benefactor tickets are $600 per couple or $300 per person. Supporter levels are $400 per couple / $200 per person. And, of course, we are always happy to accept donations at any level.
Annual General Membership Meeting
Each Spring, one of our homeowners graciously opens their doors for the Annual Membership Meeting and Reception where awards are given to those who have recently restored or renovated their homes making a significant impact on the immediate neighborhood. New board members are elected and updates on recent activities are shared. Our highest Award called the Terry-Parkerson Award is often presented to an individual or group who has followed in the footsteps of the Association’s founders to preserve, enhance and protect the neighborhood through their stewardship over an extended period of time.
This event is open to current GDA members only. Invitations will be sent to all current members of the Association.
