Why and How to Be an RCCEHA Member

The Ridglea Country Club Estates Homeowners’ Association (RCCEHA) maintains the front entrance (we are looking as well at adding a security camera there), tastefully decorates it at Christmas, oversees compliance with Restrictions and Covenants that apply to our subdivision, works with the local police departments particularly through four of our neighbors who form the Citizens on Patrol contingent to improve our security, composes and distributes informative quarterly RCCE newsletters, sponsors the popular 4^th of July parade here in our neighborhood, and has written from scratch and is expanding a completely customized neighborhood web site(rcceha.com). Thanks mostly to the energy of new arrivals we have initiated these firsts in 2007 alone: a rollicking kid oriented ‘National Night Out’ ice cream social party in August attended by over 100 residents and the Chick-a-fil ‘Eat More Chicken’ Cow her/himself, a neighborhood wide pre-Halloween Dinner on Mendosa Court before dispatching our Trick or Treaters, and baking and distributing 39 dozen cookies just before Christmas in appreciation of our various security personnel. We have spent many tens of thousands of dollars over the years in legal fees to ensure our neighborhood’s integrity (a second entrance, for example, appears unlikely from our past efforts against such). More recently, our outside legal representation and a tiger team of knowledgeable neighbors helped us substantially improve our original $200 gas lease signing bonus/20% royalty offers, the former of which has been paid in 2007 to each of our mineral rights owners.

Each June we renew memberships to RCCEHA. The less than $1/week dues are kept deliberately low by the thousands of pro bono hours given each year by our neighbors. You can drop off your $50 check($57 for Allen Place residents) for membership with your Area Representative(he or she is noted on the website after signing on(unique residence passwords are available by querying rccehainfo@aol.com)) under the “Current Officers, Area Rep’s and Committees” option. Alternatively, you can mail your dues to:

A final note. We ALWAYS are in need of volunteers to assist the neighborhood. As this is written we have 3 of our 26 Areas without Area Representation. Because of this dirth we cannot pursue many worthwhile projects like abetting 820 freeway noise(train whistle noise, by the way, is soon to be attenuated thanks to years of work on that issue), having a ‘Crime Alert’ person, or installing a mail drop box in the neighborhood. Volunteering your skills and talents would be greatly appreciated!
