The vote was unanimous!  

Our proposed amendment to the Future Land Use Map was presented to the Planning Board Wednesday afternoon at  2:00. I want to first and foremost, thank the volunteers who collected signatures on the petition...and especially the neighbors that came today to show their support.

I would like to report that the vote was unanimous! The Planning Board has given their support to our proposal.

Step one done....on to step two. Next, we will be heard before City Council on July 15 (we'll let you know of the actual time later). At that time we will present our petition and we want to gather many more signatures. Right now, we only have about 20% of the homes in Guilford Hills on the petition. We need more!! We've won the first battle, but not the war. We need the support of ALL the homes in Guilford Hills. Mark your calendars, please plan to attend and show City Council that we love Guilford Hills and don't want any additional commercial development to ruin "our oasis on the edge of chaos." Please contact me, Michelle Marine (President of GHUC), to add your name to the list or call 202-8653.

Our next neighborhood meeting is Thursday, July 17, at 7:30 (the third Thursday of July). We will meet at Parkway Baptist Church in the Conference Room. Meeting later will give you enough time to enjoy the cool summer evening before you join us!

Hope to see you there!

Michelle Marine, President
Guilford Hills Unification Committee

Guilford Hills Accepted into the Greensboro Neighborhood Congress

Guilford Hills has proudly taken another giant step forward to making and keeping this "the best neighborhood in the world." On Saturday, May 10, Guilford Hills was unanimously voted in as a new member of the Greensboro Neighborhood Congress (GNC). The Congress is a nonprofit organization of more than 40 neighborhoods, representing more than 16,000 of Greensboro's residents. It's mission statement is as follows:
The Greensboro Neighborhood Congress, a city-wide alliance of neighborhoods, seeks to improve the quality of life within the City of Greensboro by addressing issues of city-wide importance and by empowering neighborhoods to resolve neighborhood-specific concerns.

The Congress is a wonderful resource for both information and representation. They tackle the concerns of it's members (the residents and neighborhoods of Greensboro) with such topics from fair housing, environmental concerns & local ordinance enforcement all the way to just general information about the City of Greensboro.

Over the years, our founder JoAnn Peck has pushed for the GHUC to join the GNC. Many requests have been made for a few residents to accept the role as Guilford Hills' representatives within the Congress. With membership, we are given the opportunity to vote, on behalf of our residents, on very important issues and decisions that can affect our neighborhood and city as a whole. We would like to thank Kim Fuquay and Jim Rhoades for being the 2 people to step up and take on the responsibility of that leadership role. We know they'll do a great job and we appreciate their dedication to Guilford Hills.

Please continue to watch for updated information about the Greensboro Neighborhood Congress on both this web site and in our newsletter, the Guilford Hills Connection.
In the meantime, please feel free to visit their web site.... www.gnc-nc.org

The By-Laws... Make it yours.

The current By-Laws for Guilford Hills were adapted from the by-laws of another neighborhood. This worked fine in the beginning, but now we need our by-laws updated for our specific needs, and our goals for the future.  Your Board members are currently working on updating these by-laws. Please take a moment to look at the current by-laws, and the revised by-laws that, with your approval, could become our updated by-laws. To assist your Board members, and your neighbors, help us revise these by-laws to meet our specific needs, please attend the next GHUC neighborhood meeting. You may email your comments or suggestions to us at guilfordhills@bellsouth.net .
