HEN neighbors at our annual holiday gathering.

Join HEN 

We invite all our neighbors, homeowners and renters alike, to join our association. While everyone is welcome to participate in all HEN events and meetings, joining the association allows you to have voice during HEN elections. Membership dues also help cover the cost of public flowerbeds, our historic street signs, and other neighborhood necessities. 

Dues are $25 per person (or $50 per household) and can be paid at the next neighborhood event. You may make your dues donation securely via PayPal using the button below:

A Look at All the Ways HEN Engages Our Community:

• Gather monthly to hold one of two types of meeting the first being purely social such as a newcomers’ brunch, an ice cream social, or a holiday party and the second being neighborhood business
• Hold regular board meetings
• Communicate with all residents through Facebook, a listserv, gatherings, and our website in an effort to reach all our neighbors 
• Hold special fundraisers, like home and/or garden tours
• Support neighborhood watch and crime prevention meetings to foster a safer neighborhood
• Maintain our historic street signs as the city does not
• Support worthwhile programs such as St. Ann’s Summer Program for children and Hope Exchange
• Sponsor the students and teachers at Warner Elementary School and Land Between the Lakes Camp
• Actively participate in Rediscover East! and other community development efforts
• Host neighborhood beautification events, such as planting trees at Warner School, alley cleanups, and landscaping of key neighborhood locations
