We bring the women of Glacier View Meadows together for fun, friendship, and the chance to serve our community. We’re chartered as a 501(c)(7) non-profit association, and for fifty years we’ve encouraged involvement in the wider community, raised funds, and put on regular events that make life on the mountain better.
- We meet monthly to socialize and plan events — the third Tuesday of the month
- Meetings are in the Community Room, on the lower level of the GVM office at Gate 8
- We’d love to have you join us!
Events & programs
Community potluck
On the last Saturday of each month (except November and December) we host a community-wide potluck at 5:30 pm in the Community Room beneath the GVM office. Bring your own table service and a dish to share; coffee and wine are provided. Neighbors, newcomers, and visitors are all welcome.
Holiday dinner & gift exchange
Held at the Mountain Meetin’ Place in late December, with holiday decorations and a one-per-person gift exchange. Glacier Gals provide the main course and beverages; everyone else brings a dish to share.
Pancake breakfasts
Our Memorial Day and Labor Day pancake breakfasts are a longstanding tradition and our biggest fundraisers. The flipping starts at 7:00 am at the Mountain Meetin’ Place and goes until noon — follow the big colorful signs on Highway 74E.
Community Work Day
Once a year, usually in August, we coordinate with the GVM Manager on a day of community projects — painting, trail work, cleanup, fence repair. Glacier Gals provide a continental breakfast and a sloppy joe lunch. The more helpers the better.
Adopt-a-Highway
On the first Thursday of the warmer months, volunteers clean up five miles of Highway 74E (Red Feather Lakes Road) along the buck-and-rail fencing that borders our community.
Field trips
About once a month we carpool from the Glacier View office for a day trip, lunch, and good company.
Fundraising
- Aluminum can recycling — Blue barrels next to the trash compactor at Gate 8 (aluminum cans only, please). Members sort and bag the cans, and the collection is trucked to Fort Collins several times a month.
- Reflective house numbers — Strongly recommended by the Glacier View Fire District, these signs save valuable time in emergencies. Order forms are at the GVM office; signs are available with or without posts.
- GVM logo wear — Sweatshirts, t-shirts, and more, on display at the GVM office and community events.
