Greater Ivy Community Citizens Association (GICCA)
At Greater Ivy Community Citizens Association (GICCA), we are dedicated to creating a strong and vibrant community that brings people together. GICCA offers a range of events and activities at the Beech Glen Community Center (BGCC). The Community Center also hosts events that are sponsored by various organizations in Madison County, for example, Lunches for senior, are offered by Madison County every weekday except Thursday; other groups also meet at the BGCC. The playground, hiking trail and picnic shelter are available to all area residents. We post all events we know about on this website regardless of whether GICCA sponsors them. Through our programs and events we aim to foster connection, growth, and collaboration among our members.
Area residents can rent the community center for parties, showers, reunions, etc., or to use the gymnasium for sporting events. To reserve the Community Center, kitchen, meeting area, gymnasium, please contact Chris Maney, Director of Madison County Park and Recreation, at (828) 206-3849.
