Neighborhood Groups
Our neighborhood is full of people with lots of interests, but we know it can be hard to find others with similar interests who live nearby. To help make connections among neighbors with similar interests, we've created this page to list groups that are open to other neighbors joining. Some groups already exist and some are just ideas that neighbors have mentioned.
If you are interested in joining or starting up any of the groups below, please send an email to GreenwayDownsInfo@gmail.com. The board won't manage these groups, but we are happy to connect group leaders and interested members. This list isn't exhaustive either! If you have another group you'd like to lead in the neighborhood, please email us and we will add it here.
- Cornhole League: Meets on Wednesday evenings starting in June. The league will have a max of 12 members with teams of 2. The league will run for about 4 to 6 weeks. Though not required, we're also looking for hosts who have flat lawns, decks, or driveways at least 30 feet long and ideally a set of cornhole boards and bags, though boards and bags are not required. If you're interested, please email Joe McMullin at mcmullinjoe@gmail.com. You can also fill out this form here.
- Golf League: This group will meet once monthly at nearby Jefferson Golf Course for a 9 hole round of golf. To join, email Stephen at Stephen.b.tucker@gmail.com
- Book Club: Email Maria on W. George Mason who is leading Book Club. Her email is maria.f.weber11@gmail.com.
