- To provide a united effort in the securing of city and neighborhood services
- To develop and preserve an appreciation for the historical significance of the area
- To encourage preservation, restoration and beautification of the neighborhood
- To promote an appreciation of the cultural diversity of the neighborhood
- To establish means to provide for the welfare of the community

Organization

GWCA is governed by a council of 9 members elected by the general membership. Elections are held every 6 months, terms are 18 months.

Six general meetings a year are mandatory. Meetings are held the second Tuesday of every other month at 7:30 pm at the Lake Shore Baptist Church, 4100 N. Greenview.

All residents in the community are welcome to attend. Only paid members can vote however.

A newsletter is distributed to all residences at least prior to each meeting.
