IMPORTANT: This year we are asking anyone who enters the pool area on July 4 to wear a wristband. This applies to members and guests alike.

If you are a member, we'll find you on the member list and you will get a wristband.

If you are not a member, you will need to fill out a waiver, and then you will get a wristband. See https://tinyurl.com/GM-4th-2024-PoolWaiver

Yes, it's okay to fill out the waiver now if you are not a member and/or you are bringing guests. It will make picking up the wristband(s) faster! You can put multiple people on one waiver. Again, see https://tinyurl.com/GM-4th-2024-PoolWaiver

This applies to anyone entering the pool area, for example:
- kids who are doing the triathlon
- kids who are doing pool games (e.g., coin toss)
- parents who are accompanying said kids
- splash dive contestants
- splash dive watchers
- etc

You will be able to get these wristbands at the pool entrance on July 4, but to avoid long lines, we are making them available at a number of times/places beforehand.
- Monday at 7-8pm band practice.
- Tuesday at 4-5pm in the clubhouse.
- Wednesday at 6:30-7:30pm in the clubhouse.
- Thursday at 8:30-9:30am at the races check-in table
- Thursday at 10-11am at the parade check-in table.
- Thursday at lunch in the park, somewhere near the bake sale.

Triathletes who are picking up a wristband the day of the race should arrive at 8:30 rather than 8:45, so we have time to process the requests.

Loree will have other distribution times/places as well, which she will announce.

Thank you!

- Sign up to bake something for the bake sale! https://tinyurl.com/GM-4th-2024-BakeSale

- Order a BBQ lunch if you'd like one. https://tinyurl.com/GM-4th-2024-BBQ

- Sign up to help. We have a few easy/fun jobs left. https://tinyurl.com/GM-4th-2024-Signup

- Sign up for band and/or drill team. See the signs around the neighborhood for more information, or reach out to [email protected]

- Drop off coins at the pool for the coin toss. Kids love this, so we need more coins!

Thank you!

Our Story

Greenmeadow Community Association (GMCA) is a non-profit organization founded in 1954 to assist the residents of a newly built and unique Eichler development to govern and manage the beautiful and historic Community Center. The Association is responsible for the maintenance and use of the 2.9 acres facility that features a community center building, a swimming pool, a preschool and a small park with barbecues, picnic tables and a basketball court. Greenmeadow is rich with history and is on the National Registry of Historic Neighborhoods. This is a vibrant community of diverse neighbors, living both directly in Greenmeadow and in surrounding neighborhoods, with wide ranging interests who cooperate on a volunteer basis to organize and run programs that all members and their guests can enjoy.

Membership is open to anyone, regardless of where they live, and Association activities are a function of the interests of the membership. Some events, like the annual July 4th Parade and Celebration are steeped in tradition, while others are relatively new, like food truck and karaoke nights. We depend heavily on committee volunteers who serve on committees to established by the Board each year. Committees handle major continuing responsibilities such as membership, social activities, maintenance of the buildings and grounds, and assisting with the functioning of the pool. GMCA contracts with Santa Clara Swim Club to provide the staffing and much of the management of the association activities. Many events, such as the annual House and Garden tour, the children's Halloween Party, educational, civic and recreational classes and meetings are chaired and staffed on a task or single event basis. Our largest event is our locally famous 4th of July Celebration, featuring our neighborhood band, a parade (usually led by the Mayor of Palo Alto) and a picnic with games in the Greenmeadow Park and Pool.
