APM lifeguards will be hosting a free class on Tuesday. First come first serve.
Additionally, there will be a QR code sign up sheet at the lesson this Tuesday. You can select additional lessons that fit your schedule. Pricing for private 30 minute lessons is $25 each. Payments will be made directly to the lifeguards via Venmo.
Please RSVP via text to reserve your spot at the number listed below.
Please consider volunteering to make our 4th of July Party a success. There are many roles still available, and most only take a few minutes (ex. taking out trash, delivering food). You help is greatly appreciated. Many hands make light work!
Picture our current bench at the southeast end of our lake. Yes, it’s rather an eyesore and not all that comfortable anymore. Well, your Beautification Committee wrote a Neighborhood Improvement Grant with the City of Arvada, and we were selected! Our new bench will be green metal and has been ordered. However, with supply chains as they are, the bench may not be here for quite some time. Certainly it won’t be here anymore this summer, and it could be next spring before it arrives and can be installed.
The City of Arvada’s grant is for $1500. The bench will be in the vicinity of $1800. That means we need to come up with only about $300 as a community to add to the cost, and we get a nice new comfortable bench for sitting at the end of our lake!
At our Fourth of July celebration we’ll put out a jar for donations. Please support the cause! You could also send a check to Cathy Bartle at 8795 W 80th Dr, with check made payable to Meadowglen HOA and designated as a donation for the bench.
On the backrest of the bench will be an area for an inscription. It will indicate that it’s compliments of Meadowglen Residents and the City of Arvada, but we’d also like to include some sort of saying. That sitting area is used by a lot of people and is a prime location for relaxing, reflecting, and visiting. Some of the children will sit on it off and on for decades, and perhaps remember it as a special place growing up in Meadowglen. What shall we have for an inscription??
We’d like your ideas! Next to that donation jar on the Fourth will be a jar for your thoughts. Or, feel free to send any suggestions to cebartle@aol.com. Please include your children of all ages in this project; ask them for their ideas about what they’d like to see written on our bench. After the suggestions are whittled down to a bit, we’ll send out a survey of the “best” and all of us can vote for the inscription. Remember that space on the plaque is limited, so try to get your idea expressed in relatively few words.
There will also be a need for some volunteer hours around the time of the bench’s installation. The City of Arvada crews will do the work of removing the old and putting in the new, but volunteers might be asked to help in some supportive ways. More on that much later. Right now, we appreciate your financial support and your suggestions for our inscription!
Thanks much,
Your Beautification Committee
Meadowglen Residents,
It’s almost that time of year again! It’s so exciting that we’re able to host our 40th annual 4th of July Celebration, in person!! As many of you know, two years ago in 2020, would have been our 40th anniversary for this event. In efforts to keep everyone’s safety in mind because of the pandemic, we had to postpone this event until 2022. It’s been a long two years in the making but we’re thankful the time has come to celebrate with our fellow neighbors and friends!
Our neighborhood 4th of July celebration was founded in 1980. So what better way to “bring it back old school” than some 80’s themed tunes and decorations?!?! Break out the swim trunks, sunscreen and if you choose, any ol’ 80’s attire you have (especially red, white & blue)! It’s bound to be an epic day of celebration!!!
Schedule of Events:
Since this event has always been homegrown, there is a sign-up genius link below requesting some volunteers from our neighborhood. We would very much appreciate any assistance that you could provide for this day of celebration.

* Friendly reminder that no glass is allowed in or around the pool area, including the common grass areas surrounding the clubhouse.
We look forward to seeing all of you in July!!! Let’s make this the best event yet!!!
