THE GREEN VALLEY COMMUNITY DIRECTORY
Now in its 38th year of sponsorship by the Green Valley Community Coordinating Council, the Green Valley Community Directory has been a fixture in Green Valley and surrounding communities. Through a contract with AT&T Advertising and Publishing, The Directory is the major revenue stream for the Council, providing almost two-thirds of the Council's operating income.
Directory activity comes to its climax each February when over 350 volunteers distribute over 25,000 Directories to the area's residents, businesses, assisted living facilities and houses of worship. (Four thousand additional Directories are distributed throughout the year to new residents and businesses, winter visitors, and to individuals wanting additional Directories.) Work on the Directory is a yearlong project. Volunteers work all year to provide updated information for the Directory. Processed for the 2008 Directory were 2140 additions, changes and deletions to residential listings: 539 additions; 1046 changes; and 555 deletions. Since Green Valley is still growing, a volunteer updates the map and that information is forwarded to the cartographer. Each of the 250 plus entries in the "Clubs and Organizations" section is contacted for updated information. Likewise, all of the entries in the Community Information Pages are reviewed and updated for each new edition of the Directory.
Another yearlong activity is the Directory Cover Contest. Each spring, after the Directory is distributed, the theme for the following year's Directory is announced. Flyers and other advertisements are distributed to the Camera and Computer Clubs, GVR facilities and interested individuals. Entries are due in early October and the winner is announced in late October. The 2009 Directory cover theme is ‘Feathers & Fur: Green Valley's Desert Dwellers' .

The Green Valley Community Coordinating Council is very proud of the Community Directory. The Directory provides a common frame of reference for our community and a service for the thousands of greater Green Valley residents and businesses.
