Established in 1948, the objectives of the Gladwyne Civic Association are to maintain superior civic conditions in Gladwyne and to consider and take appropriate action concerning all questions relating to the welfare of the community.

Gladwyne residents and business owners are eligible for membership as well as those who live in designated areas of Villanova and Bryn Mawr. If you are not a member, we hope you will consider joining.

Residential membership dues are, as follows: Friend ($20), Patron ($35), Sponsor ($50) and Advocate ($100) and can be sent to the address listed on the join page, or paid through our secure PayPal account. We also encourage businesses to join — click here for more information. Dues enable us to fund efforts to maintain superior civic conditions in Gladwyne.  We also publish a newsletter three times a year updating our community.

Monthly meetings usually on the fourth Tuesday of every month with the exception of July and August and are a great way to stay informed. Meetings include reports from our Township Commissioners and discussion of issues effecting Gladwyne and the broader Township. Meetings are held in the Gladwyne Fire House Community Room or at another nearby location.

When you join and choose to give us your email address, you will be placed on an e-mail distribution list for important updates and community alerts! Please consider joining our 600+ member organization.

The GCA also sponsors the following annual community events:

Gladwyne Clean-Up Day
This event is supported by our local businesses and organizations. Volunteers meet at the Gladwyne Superfresh for assignments and supplies. Hoagies and soft drinks are provided. Volunteers are always needed.

Gladwyne Memorial Day Parade & Block Party
This commemorative day is co-sponsored by the Library League and held in the heart of the village, rain or shine. The parade assembles at 10:30 a.m. behind the Gladwyne Park. Children are invited to decorate their bikes, wagons, strollers and walk or ride in the parade. The parade begins at noon followed by a ceremony honoring our veterans. Food, fun and entertainment fill the block party and many wear red, white and blue for this very special day. Volunteers are needed.
