If you’re like me, a bottom line person, then you may be asking yourself what’s the purpose of the Tantallon South Civic Association and WHAT DOES THAT MEAN FOR ME? Answer: It’s a community association devoted to discussing and ACTING on important issues that will help make our neighborhood a better place to live.
The new direction, also addresses making the Association a viable networking forum where you get to know who people are, what they do and what’s of interest to them. Imagine finding out that your neighbor three doors down is licensed plumber (and your toilet is broken), or your kids play on the same soccer teams (now carpooling is an option). The Association plans to have more speaker’s from the neighborhood talk about their jobs…boards they sit on, or other areas they feel would be useful to the community.
What does the $25 annual membership fee go towards? Like any other membership (i.e gym) there are administrative costs to cover (we have a post office box, website, special events just to name a few costs). We are also discussing ways to increase membership and that will include marketing methods (better signs for meetings etc.). You will receive news and information about County programs, crime reports, and other government topics that affect our neighborhood; services such as the Neighborhood Watch group and access to a viable Network. The BENEFITS to you outweigh the COSTS.
WHAT DOES THIS ALL MEAN TO ME? The Tantallon South Civic Association is the best thing to help you maintain the vitality of a very important investment you’ve made/ or rent>> YOUR PROPERTY! But to paraphrase a commercial , “ [We’re] only as strong as the NETWORK [we’re] connected to”….and that’s YOU. Join today.
