How to Join
Compared to many local Home Owners and Civic Associations, annual membership in the SCA is a minimal investment. Dues are $120 for non-lakefront homes, $220 for lakefront homes. In order to join, look for information to be delivered to you by your ‘Street Captain’ in early fall for membership the following year. These volunteers will drop-off, pick up and answer any questions you have about the membership forms. If you have additional questions, please feel free to email our Membership Chairman at membership@surreywoodliving.com.
Volunteer Opportunities
Get involved with the Surreywood Civic Association. Civic Association Board positions are on annual terms and run from January-December and generally meet 8-10 times a year. If you are interested in bringing your skills to the board, please contact the President at president@surreywoodliving.com.
If you are looking to volunteer but cannot commit to a board position, there are still plenty of opportunities. Whether it be setting up or coordinating for a social event, work days at the playground, participating in neighborhood watch or helping with buildings and grounds, we are always looking for an extra set of hands (or minds)—and it is a great opportunity to meet some of your neighbors that make Surreywood such a special community. Contact any board member to get more information on how you may be able to help.
