Q. What does the HNA do?
The Highlands Neighborhood Association helps keep our neighborhood connected. We welcome new neighbors, maintain the neighborhood directory and communications, support families through our Sunshine volunteers, and help neighbors keep traditions and gatherings going.
Q. How can I get involved?
Show up. Come to an event. Meet someone new. Welcome a neighbor. Help for an hour. Host something. Bring an idea. A connected neighborhood works best when lots of people participate a little.
Q. I have an idea for an event. Can the HNA help?
Absolutely. If you’re willing to take the lead, we’re happy to help you make it happen. The HNA can help with neighborhood emails, Evites, flyers, RSVPs and payments, historical event information, and other logistics. You don’t need to join a committee—just bring an idea and some willingness to run with it.
Q. Why do you charge annual dues?
Annual dues provide the basic financial support that keeps the HNA running. They help cover our neighborhood directory, website and administrative expenses, Sunshine activities, printing, and shared supplies used for neighborhood events.
Q. I don't attend many events. Why should I pay dues?
Because the HNA is about more than parties. Dues help maintain the connections and resources that benefit the whole neighborhood... from the directory and neighborhood communications to welcoming new residents and supporting families when they need a hand. You don’t have to attend everything to help keep the Highlands the kind of neighborhood where people know and look out for one another.
Q. Do my dues pay for parties or alcohol?
No. Social events are generally funded by the people who attend them. Annual dues support the HNA and its neighborhood-wide activities and resources.
Q. What is Sunshine?
Our Sunshine volunteers help Highlands families when they could use a little extra support.
That often means organizing meals after a new baby arrives, during an illness, or following a loss. It’s one of the ways Highlands neighbors take care of one another.
Q. Do I have to live in the Highlands to participate?
The HNA primarily serves residents of the Highlands neighborhood: Ramapo, Rockledge, Mohawk, Van Houten, Huron, MacEvoy, Ostrander, and Seminole. We also welcome neighbors on nearby bordering streets who consider themselves part of the Highlands community.
Q. Is the HNA an HOA?
Absolutely not. We’re a voluntary neighborhood association focused on connection and community. We don’t enforce property or decorating standards, we don't regulate what residents do with their homes, and we don't mediate disputes between neighbors.
Q. How do I pay dues or register for an event?
Payment options vary by activity and may include Venmo, check, or credit card. Current instructions are included with each dues request or event registration.
Q. I have a question, suggestion, or concern. Who should I contact?
Email the HNA at our neighborhood Gmail address. The HNA is run by volunteers, so please allow a little time for a response.
