Summer is officially here, and it’s so exciting to see Glen Oaks buzzing with activity — pools are open, golf carts are cruising, neighbors are gathering on patios, and the golf course is alive with friendly competition. It’s one of the best times of year in a community where the beauty of the neighborhood and the spirit of connection truly shine.

As I have gotten to know the residents in the community, I have learned that Glen Oaks has always been more than just a place to live — it’s a place where friendships grow, families thrive, and summer memories are made. Whether you're heading out for a round of golf, enjoying a swim at the club, hosting neighbors for a backyard barbecue, or simply cruising the neighborhood on your cart, there’s a special energy here that makes summer feel extra sweet.

As you’re out and about soaking up the season, don’t forget to capture those moments! We’d love to feature your favorite memories in an upcoming issue — from golf outings and pool days to summer travels and family gatherings.

As Stroll Glen Oaks continues to grow, I’m always on the lookout for new businesses that would be a great fit for the publication — and I’d love your help! If you know of a local business you love, or if you’re a Glen Oaks resident who owns a business, let’s connect. Supporting resident-owned businesses is something we’re especially passionate about. And remember — if you refer a business that ends up partnering with Stroll Glen Oaks, you’ll earn a $100 gift card to a local favorite of your choice. There’s no limit to how many you can earn!

If you’d like to nominate a neighbor, share a story idea, or chat about getting more involved, I’d love to hear from you. You can reach me anytime at Maria.mears@strollmag.com or scan the QR code to submit your ideas.

Thank you for being such an important part of what makes Glen Oaks feel so special. Here's to a season full of sunshine, friendship, and unforgettable summer memories!

Warmly,
Maria Mears
