Upcoming Events!
November’s Monthly Membership Meeting
Join us for our next monthly membership meeting on November 20th, at 6 PM at the Williams School. We’ll be posting an agenda a week before the meeting once we get our speakers locked in. We will be having a presentation on the history of the Ghent Neighborhood League and a presentation from Colley Community Foundation! Join us for community and conversation.
The Longest Table, coming this Spring!
We’ve been hard at work in tandem with The Longest Table and The Fred Heutte Center to bring this fantastic event to Ghent this Spring. We’ll have updates soon, but until then you can visit this site:https://www.longesttablenyc.com to get a feel for this community relationship building event.
The most important part of the GNL is its members.
We are interested in your ideas and opinions and are delighted when our members participate in and volunteer for our many projects. We want you as a member and look forward to your input.
Membership is open to any resident of the Ghent Neighborhood, both renters and home owners.
The GNL also advocates for the conservation and promotion of the historic character of the Ghent neighborhood, its architectural resources, and environmental quality. We facilitate communication between residents, provide a structured forum for discussing issues and concerns of the neighborhood, and act as the primary conduit between residents and local government.
