Join Us for Our 4th Annual GMWHOA Summer Concert Series!

Andrew Hoyt

The Green Meadows West Homeowners' Association is pleased to announce dates for its 4th Annual Sweet Summer Concert Series!

Held at the neighborhood’s Dover Park gazebo, event will feature a different musical act, offering a mix of classic rock, pop, country, and other family-friendly songs.

Dover Park, one of the association's publicly accessible private green spaces, is located at the intersection of Crescent Chase and Wellington Boulevard.

Concert times are 6:30 to 8 p.m:

• Fri., Jun. 9, 2023: JohnPaul Burtch! Treats from Dough Crazy!
• Fri, Aug. 4, 2023: Mike Aceto! Treats TBD!
• Fri., Sept. 15, 2022: Andrew Hoyt! Treats from Culver's Confections!

Neighbors are encouraged to bring their own folding chairs and beverage coolers. A portable toilet and hand-sanitization station will be located on site during the events.

The concert series helps the Green Meadows West neighborhood celebrate summer, while also calling attention to the association's many amenities, which include natural prairie areas, tree-lined green spaces, and privately managed parks.

Based on positive feedback from association members, concerts replaced the neighborhood's long-running annual picnic in 2019.

This Summer, Join Us for Yoga in Dover Park!

Starting June 2023, join your Green Meadows West neighbors in FREE community-building and wellness exercise at Saturday-morning yoga sessions provided by Johnston-based Power Life Yoga Studio, and underwritten by the Green Meadows West Homeowners' Association.

Meet us at 9 a.m. on scheduled Saturdays in Dover Park, the association's publicly accessible private park, which is located at the intersection of Crescent Chase and Wellington Boulevard.

Weather permitting, the 2023 Green Meadows West HOA-sponsored yoga sessions will be conducted on the following dates:

• June 10 & 24
• July 8 & 22
• August 5 & 19
• September 9 & 23

"We were excited by the positive response to last year's events—we even added some dates," says Outreach Committee member Sara Lockner. "This year, we're hoping that our neighbors can stop by regularly, whenever they can!"

No previous yoga experience is required, Lockner says. Participants should bring their own mats or beach towels, and can choose to use either grass or paved surface. Instructors often use the gazebo's elevated floor as a stage, and will use a small public address loudspeaker for amplification.

Potential benefits of yoga can include stress reduction, increased blood circulation, detoxification, and improved sleep, according to Power Life materials.

"Power Life is about making your healthy lifestyle what you want it to be. We are a place to meet friends, a place to meet goals and a place to meet yourself. Power Life is a community of individuals, where there is a spot for everyone and style of exercise that challenges everybody."
