Help Keep Crime at Bay
When your neighbor is away on vacation or even a shorter time frame, please pick up newspapers thrown in their driveway.

Accumulated papers tell criminals that nobody is home and that makes it [...]

The U-Verse is here!

Most people sign up for Internet, television, and telephone but [...]

Residents who did not take part in last year’s offer of cleaning and staining are being offered the opportunity this year to do so. GLPC did a fantastic job and will again be the company we recomment to perform this service. Last year the price was about half what they would charge to come and [...]
