The Greater Avenues Community Council is an all-volunteer community group, and there are countless ways for you to get involved! The work to make our community better is done by our volunteer Board of Directors, and by the volunteers on our various committees. 

Committees

The GACC Chair, with the approval of the Board, may establish or dissolve committees of two types:

1. Standing Committees – These address general or long-term issues and exist until specifically dissolved.

2. Ad-hoc Committees – Formed to address fixed or short-term issues and are automatically dissolved on their one- year anniversary unless specifically renewed by the Chair or Board.

Interested persons may apply using this form to volunteer to serve on an Avenues committee:

Thank you to all who attended or participated in the 49th Annual Avenues Street Fair on September 14!

Stay tuned here for news about the 2025 Avenues Street Fair, which will be held on Saturday, September 13th. The Street Fair committee will begin meeting in March 2025 to plan our next event.  

OUR NEIGHBORHOOD

The Greater Avenues Community Council is an all-volunteer community group working to improve the quality of life for all Avenues residents. There are many ways for you to get involved!

Attend Meetings
Get to know your community and the issues we face by attending our monthly Community Council meetings. Join us the 1st Wednesday of every month at 6 PM at the Sweet Library (445 F Street). Board meetings fall on the 2nd Wednesday of each month, also at Sweet Library at 6 PM, and are open to the public. 

Become a Board Member
Represent your Avenues by serving on the GACC Board. The GACC seeks new board members annually, beginning in September for the following calendar year. Elections are held in November and board members serve an annual term. Board members bring issues forth, participate in community discussions, determine monthly meeting agendas, contribute to our monthly newsletter (The Agenda) and serve on committees working to improve our community. Contact Merrliee Morgan our 2024 Nominating Committee Chairperson if you would like to be a 2025 Board Member. View our current GACC Board and our Vision & Bylaws.

Avenues Street Fair
There are dozens of opportunities to help with the annual Avenues Street Fair in the months before or on the day of the Fair. Learn more here.

Memory Grove Cleanup
Bring your family for a morning of service dedicated to beautifying this historic community park. Learn about the work of the Memory Grove Foundation. 

Committees
You don’t have to be a board member to get involved with the GACC. Committees are integral to getting work done in our community. Learn about them here.

Sponsor
Sponsor the GACC by making a donation. We use GACC funds to make community improvements, and to pay for our monthly newsletter and web page.

OUR NEIGHBORHOOD

The GACC newsletter, The Agenda, is mailed monthly to all of the approximately 9,000 residences and businesses within the Avenues boundaries, including the north side of South Temple, everything connecting to and east of Canyon Road leading to Memory Grove, all of Federal Heights, all of Arlington Hills, Northcrest and residences at the University of Utah. See our boundary map HERE.

In addition to the printed newsletter sent via snail mail, we also publish an online version of our newsletter in full color with live url links and expanded articles.

Our latest online newsletter is HERE.

The purpose of our newsletter is to inform Avenues residents and businesses about our monthly community meetings and to provide information about community issues and the activities of the Greater Avenues Community Council.

Our newsletter committee gathers the content for each issue as approved monthly by the GACC Board of Directors. The committee compiles and lays out our newsletter each month using InDesign. We then package the newsletter by the 20th of each month and send it to our printer Sun Lithograph. Sun prints the newsletter and delivers it to the US Postal Service Bulk mail office for mailing. 

We reserve the right to edit all content, articles and advertisements for content, appearance, and size.

All ads in our newsletter print in grayscale (black and white). All ads in our online newsletter appear in full color with live url links.

Ad Sizes & Rates
The Agenda features several options for ad sizing. Ads can run month-to-month, or on an annual contract. The annual commitment is the equivalent of one month free, and is an 11% discount over the month-to-month rate.

All ads must be prepaid.
