ABOUT US

About the Greenmeadow Community Association (GMCA)

 WHO WE ARE

We are a family-oriented community association and swim club in a historic Eichler neighborhood located in south Palo Alto, CA. We are a warm, open community with much to offer both kids and adults.

As a member at Greenmeadow, you’ll get more than access to our beautiful pool and aquatics programs. Membership includes becoming a part of our broader community with picnics, seasonal parties, discounted facility rental, active online discussion groups and of course our locally famous July 4th Parade and celebration.

We welcome you to our historic neighborhood and invite you to share a true sense of community with us.

OUR HISTORY

From its start in 1954 Greenmeadow was designed to be a family community with easy proximity to shopping, libraries and schools. Inspired by principles of modern architecture conceived by Frank Lloyd Wright, Joe Eichler built homes featuring spacious living areas and lots, floor-to-ceiling windows and three or more bedrooms, which he located around a community center, pool, and park.

However, when Joe Eichler designed the area, he could not have envisioned the spirit that would spring to life as a result of his plans. The community center he built at the heart of the neighborhood was a catalyst for the development of a non-profit civic organization, called the Greenmeadow Community Association (GMCA).  More than fifty years later, the Greenmeadow Community Association has evolved into a tightly knit diverse community of neighbors who work together to preserve the spirit of our neighborhood.  Greenmeadow is rich with history and is on the National Registry of Historic Neighborhoods. This is a vibrant community of diverse neighbors with wide ranging interests who cooperate on a volunteer basis to organize and run programs that all members and their guests can enjoy.

 STAFF

Our aquatics director is Caleb Fenner.

About Caleb

It is with great enthusiasm that I introduce myself as the new Club Manager for Greenmeadow Community Association! I believe that I have the experience and skills needed to successfully coordinate, manage, and administer programming at GMCA.

A native Oregonian, I grew up swimming on Corvallis Aquatic Team in Corvallis, Oregon. After high school, I attended Central Washington University where I achieved a Bachelors in Business Management in 2005. After graduating, I started my aquatics and club management career coaching for Corvallis Aquatic Team under my childhood coach and Oregon State Head Coach Larry Lebowitz.

I have worked in a variety of roles, including recently at the Alpine Hills Tennis & Swim Club in Portola Valley as Aquatics Director and Head Coach for PASA Alpine Hills. And most recently as Supervisor at the Highlands Recreation District in San Mateo.

I am greatly looking forward meeting all of you and serving as the new Club Manager of Greenmeadow! I would like to thank all of you for giving me this great opportunity to be part of your community!
