Thalia Neighborhood – 1st Annual 4th of July Food Drive! ![]()
Help us support the Foodbank of Southeastern Virginia and our neighbors in need.
Donations accepted starting Wednesday, July 1st
Drop‑off location: 608 Greentree Dr. (box will be near the garage)
Let’s come together as a community and make a meaningful impact this holiday. Every can, box, and bag helps a family right here at home.

We miss you! It is a new year for all of us (and a unique one thus far.) Sadly, we must report that we have only 11 Members in Good Standing (those who have paid their annual dues for 2026).
The Civic League mission is to help improve citizen understanding of how our city works while at the
same time helping to ensure that our quality of life in our chosen suburban environment remains stable
and viable. The primary part of this mission depends upon the continuous involvement of neighborhood
members. A community builds one person at a time; consensus is achieved through community. When a community has consensus, it has a voice that city leadership cannot avoid. At no time has this become
more important than in 2026.
We encourage you to get involved with the civic league through active participation at in-person and on-line meetings. (We are cautiously implementing suggestions we have received from members, such as on-line meetings every other month – or so).
Consider attending our first “social” meeting of the year – no official business – on May 18th. We will be having a cookout at New Life from 530 to 730 PM,
serving hamburgers, hot dogs, the fixings, and perhaps even carry-in delicacies made by our
attendees. This may be the perfect opportunity to meet new neighbors and help build our Thalia
community.
For your convenience we will make membership applications available for those who need them and wish to pay the $25 annual Thalia Civic League membership fee while they are at the cookout. If this is not convenient, download the application here:
