The Gothic Volunteer Alliance was founded in reaction to a violent assault on San Diego Goths. It was because of that assault that we seek to educate others about our culture and the beauty it produces.

San Diego River Park Clean Up

US/Pacific

The Gothic Volunteer Alliance has been working with the San Diego River Park Foundation to help clean and maintain this vital urban waterway.

Location: San Diego River East. Volunteers will meet at the grassy area near the Quiki Oil Change location at 4232 Camino Del Rio North 92108.

The San Diego River passes through some of the densest urban areas in the county and is subject to illegal dumping and pollution. Join the Clean and Green Team as we clean up the river east of Qualcomm Stadium. You will be surprised at how rewarding and fun a few short hours can be when spent making a difference in the great outdoors.. No experience is necessary and all training, supplies, and tools are provided. All you need to do is wear clothes that can get a little dirty and closed-toe shoes. We also recommend a hat and sunscreen be worn.

Join us and make a difference!

We will have lunch afterwards at a local eatery.

An Update: July 15, 2010

For those of you that missed the general meeting or are just joining us, we have a couple events in the works for later this summer, including volunteer and fun events. Check in later and add us on Facebook for instant updates. :)

The Garden of Delight

This has truly become GVA's garden! We get dirty but with all the shade of the trees and our big black hats, we manage to stay out of the sun. So, don't worry, you won't catch fire. But, you may catch the gardening bug!

INFO: GVA Volunteers have spent the last year and a half helping to restore the Old Town Native Garden so that the local Kumeyaay Tribe can come in and teach people about how native plants can be used and to perform demonstrations related to kitchen gardening techniques.

Please come by for an hour or two and help out! The California Native Plant Society garden leaders are very nice and welcome GVA members to participate. We recommend that if you have gloves for gardening and any gardening/weed pulling tools, that you bring them. We do have the ability to supply them for you, otherwise. Wear comfortable clothes for gardening, sunscreen and a hat.

We meet every month on the second Saturday. 1pm to 3pm. If it's raining, the event is canceled.

WHERE: Old Town, San Diego. Meet at the McCoy House, just south of Congress and Taylor Street. The garden is located across the street from the Old Town Transit Center. Park in the lot immediately to the east, on Calhoun Street, off of Taylor Street.

A new Gothic Volunteer Alliance Website

The GVA website is getting a major upgrade. As I write this post, the template is still underway, but many new functions have been implemented.

Over the course of the next few days I will be updating and improving the current, plain theme. Once everything is promoted to production, please see the calendar to the side, the list of people who have logged in and the forums.

Private messaging has also been installed and should be ready for you to send messages to people who have created accounts on the system.
