Gates Mills Improvement Society

Annual Meeting and Dinner Delayed

Dear Members and Fellow Villagers,

 

As the number of Covid-19 infections continues to rise, The Gates Mills Improvement Society has decided  to delay the annual meeting normally scheduled for early January to a later date. We will convene the annual in-person dinner meeting at The Chagrin Valley Hunt Club when Covid-19 cases decrease.  

 

The GMIS distributed the Christmas Employee Fund on Friday, December 17th at The Community House. About 300 families contributed $64,700 to the fund, exceeding last year’s total of $57,000.  We indeed are fortunate to have so many villagers generously supporting the fund. Thank you, everyone.

Welcome To The Improvement Society

Since 1920, the GMIS has helped sustain the cultural and social life of the Village of Gates Mills. As our name says the organization seeks to improve Village life and keep our community thriving.
 
The GMIS independently supports many activities in the Village including:
  • The Annual 4th of July Parade and festivities
  • The Annual Village Employee Christmas Fund
  • Village Recreation activities (tennis, pickleball, bocce)
  • Recognition of retiring Village officials and employees
  • Funding for food, drinks and children's gifts for Santa's Christmas Eve visit
  • Special meetings on important political and civic issues
  • The Animal Welfare Committee
  • Many other Village activities

In addition to the above activities, the Improvement Society has helped fund major projects or needs in the Village. Recent examples include our new Marston Park, major tennis court resurfacing and the Gates Mills Library.
