Association Meetings are held the last Tuesday of the month, at 7:00 PM, usually in the home of one of the members, but occasionally at a local restaurant, library, or school. Please contact someone to find out the location of the next meeting as noted below. You DO NOT have to live within the Buena Vista Neighborhood boundaries to belong to the Association!
Dues are $15 per year for an individual, $20 for a family, but dues are NOT required to participate in any meetings or functions. Paying dues allows you to vote when we have to decide where to spend money and other official matters.
The Buena Vista Neighborhood Association tries to be a very community-focused organization and, as such, we try to keep the stuffy politics out of the mix as much as possible. Meetings usually consist of having a guest speaker, notes of recent activities in the neighborhood (both positive and negative) and upcoming items.
We would be delighted to have you join our organization!
