The Greensboro Association, which was founded in 1934 as a village improvement society, has identified and dealt with a variety of issues that concern both residents and non-residents of the Greensboro community. The affairs of the Association are managed by a Board of Trustees consisting of 21 members of the Association, of whom at least five shall be voting residents of the community of Greensboro. Seven trustees are elected for a three year term at each annual meeting, which is held on the third Monday in August. The officers, consisting of the President, three Vice Presidents, treasurer and secretary are elected at the annual meeting for a one year term. In addition various committees are formed to deal with specific issues.

Membership in the Association is open to all residents of voting age who either own real estate or who have resided in the Greensboro community for one season. Residence at an inn or the guest or tenant of a house owner is sufficient to qualify. Grown children of members are especially welcome. Members absent from Greensboro may continue their membership. Dues are five dollars a year for both single and husband and wife membership.

Among the many achievements of the Greensboro Association through the years, some are especially deserving of notice. The Association has provided financial support to non-profit organizations in the Greensboro community, for example: helping the Greensboro Free Library purchase books and underwriting part of its after-school program, funding two scholarships at the Greensboro Child Care Center and buying a defibrillator for the Hardwick Rescue Squad. In cooperation with the Towns of Greensboro and Hardwick, it has greatly improved the public beach near the village dock. Furthermore, the Association sponsors and subsidizes the swimming program held at the public beach every summer. The swimming classes range from beginners groups to life-saving classes, offering certification according to Red Cross standards, and are open without charge to children of permanent and summer residents of Greensboro. In addition, it conducts a boating and water safety program.

The Association also provides entertainment. It sponsors summer concerts from the dock of the Landon cottage on the southeast shore of the lake every Sunday evening in July and August under the direction of the music committee.

Helping to maintain the quality of Caspian Lake is undoubtedly one of the most important roles of the Association. Towards this end it has monitored water quality for many years on a weekly basis during the summer months. A Lake Protection Committee was established several years ago to study run-off from streams feeding the lake and the resultant build-up of the deltas, and an Aquatic Nuisances Committee examines ways to prevent the infestation of Eurasian milfoil and zebra mussels.

The Memorial Garden Committee has created a beautiful living testament to those no longer with us, with an ever-changing seasonal array of native flowers in our village square.

The Greensboro Association is an active participant in the Federation of Vermont Lakes and Ponds whose purpose is to exchange information and solve mutual problems among its members in close cooperation with state environmental agencies.
