Celebrate Valley Glen Pets
Greater Valley Glen Council wants to celebrate our community’s pets! We invite you to share a photo of your pet on https://www.facebook.com/GVGCouncil and we will feature as many as we can on our site and emails. It would be especially fun if your pet is at a Valley Glen landmark in the photo.

We have open seats and invite you to contact us to take a seat on the Board.
