​We sincerely hope you were able to join us for our Memorial Day Ceremony at the Veterans Memorial located on GlenLakes Blvd., near the front entrance of GlenLakes on Monday, May 25, 2026, at 11:45 AM when the flag was returned to full staff by the Springstead High School Air Force JROTC Honor Guard.  We were also honored that State Representative Jeff Holcomb spoke glowingly.  As you can see above, it was very well attended.

Bob Henry solemnly extolled the 50 or so names of Veterans who have passed that were requested by GlenLakes residents using a dedicated email address notforgotten@glenlakesvets.org.  The Veteran’s name, service affiliation, and rank, if known, were read out loud, followed by the ring of our new ceremonial bell.  Reading the names of deceased veterans serves a deeper purpose. It restores an individual’s identity.  A name spoken aloud is a life acknowledged.  A person dies twice--once when their life ends and again when their name is spoken for the last time.  We all have a moral commitment "to remember them."

On Friday Apr 10th, 2026, 0900-1200, GLVFA hosted its second GlenLakes Community Shredding event.  GLVFA members volunteered their time and energy to direct traffic, answer questions, accept donations, and most importantly, retrieved boxes (and boxes, and even more boxes....) from residents automobiles and golf carts to hand over to the Shred-IT truck operator to relieve our residents of literally tons of old paper documents. ​
