Greenacres Neighborhood Association Buries Time Capsule

The Greenacres Association buried a time capsule at Greenacres field on July 2, 2014. The time capsule was planned to honor the 100th anniversary of Greenacres in 2012. The capsule included archives about Greenacres. Current and former residents contributed musings about life in Greenacres, including interesting facts about their homes, their properties, their trees, their past neighbors, their families, their concerns about the fate of the world politically and ecologically, and notes to their children.

Special thanks to Kathy (Steves) who contributed the substantial stone marker from her garden as well as important papers from her personal archives; to Jim (Carforo) who worked with the vendor on designing a great looking plaque; to Jim Lancaster and his Grounds Crew staff- Jose, Jacob and Matt- who dug and filled the hole for the capsule in sweltering heat and carefully placed it in a very professional manner; to Ottilie (Jarmel) who managed to rally some last minute contributions and created a wonderful display of the capsule at the library; to Andrew (Sereysky) whose trained eye guided Jim's crew in the precise placement of the marker; and to Linda Leavitt who contributed copies of the Inquirer that reported the GNA's 100th anniversary in 2012 and the Gala event."
