  • ​create a vision for our neighborhood;
  • ​participate in beautification and clean-up efforts;
  • ​help make our neighborhood safer;
  • ​get to know your neighbors better through events.


All of this for just $10 per household per year or $25 per business or nonprofit per year. Our membership year runs through June 30, 2021. Any household, business or nonprofit within the boundaries of Brookside/Bennett Street, National Avenue, Sunshine Street and Campbell Avenue is welcome.


Your dues will help pay for clean-up events, communications expenses such as newsletters and our website, neighborhood celebrations and, most important, give you a vote on issues that affect our neighborhood.
