Participating
Groups
The CVCA
exists because the Crescenta Valley is broken up into 4 political
divisions. And what happens in one of these divisions can greatly
affect the quality of life in another division. In the past,
different political entities would not listen to you
if you lived in another division. For example,
if you live in unincorporated La Crescenta, the city of Glendale
wouldn't listen to you - even though you are in the Glendale School
District. By pooling our common interests, we are trying to be
heard, no matter where you live, work, pray, go to school, etc.
The CVCA is
not designed nor intended to replace existing groups with concerns in
the valley. Instead we support them and work with them whenever
possible.
These
participating groups include:
