The Greater Gladstone Civic Association (GGCA) hosts several events each year, including a contingent in the Lansdowne Fourth of July parade, followed by a neighborhood picnic on the Island at Walsh and DeForest Roads; a fall or Halloween activity; and a holiday tree lighting. In addition, the Mansfield Brass Quintent holds an annual Caroling Under the Streetlights one weekend night before Christmas and the Santa mailbox returns each December for mailing all important letters to the North Pole.
We are having our Annual Water Ice evening!! Meet at the Island on July 13th from 7 to 8 pm. Please bring your own chair, sunscreen and bug spray.
Please pass the word on to any new neighbors that have moved in since last year.
We will also have Gladstone Manor T-shirts for sale at the event.

The “Island” Parklette (DeForest and Walsh Roads)
Welcome the Holiday Season to the Manor with the annual tree lighting, featuring a special guest appearance by Santa Claus. Enjoy hot chocolate and cider, coffee, and assorted holiday treats.
(While the tree lights will be turned on rain or shine, Santa will not be able to visit, nor refreshments be served in the case of foul weather)
The holidays are fast approaching, and we’d love to have you volunteer to help with the decorations on The Island (located at the intersection of DeForest and Walsh Roads). As of now, the schedule for the holiday decorating is as follows:
Saturday, November 26, 10 am. Set up the decorations on the Island (build Santa’s house, string lights, put up other decorations).
The more volunteers we have, the less time it will take to decorate!
On Saturday, December 3, from 4:00 – 5:00 pm join us for the Tree lighting ceremony! Meet Santa, have hot drinks and snacks, and watch the tree alight at 5:00 pm.
As always, we appreciate your help, it’s what makes us able to continue these and other events in Gladstone Manor. Yearly donations for the new lights and decorations can be donated at this time or online.
