It’s Time to Join the Club!
Why Do We Pay Dues?
As 2021 came to a close, membership in the Timbergrove Manor Civic Club was at 466 members, which represents only 38% of the neighborhood. Before Covid, we often saw membership rates upwards of 50-60%. Let’s make 2022 the year we return to those numbers!
To help with that effort, the Membership Committee is looking for volunteers to help organize a member recruitment event or two. You may remember the highly successful “Project Dogway” event from early 2020, or the Membership Contest from 2019. We are hoping to put together something similar this year. If you’re interested in helping out, there is room for you! Just email membership@timbergrove.org.
The TMCC is a non-profit organization, run 100% by volunteer residents, that is charged with caring for our amazing neighborhood, and it’s all made possible by the support of our gracious members.
Membership dues are $30 per voting person for a calendar year, or $60 for two voting members per household. This is significantly less than most HOAs in Houston and allows us to sustain Timbergrove Manor as one of the most desirable neighborhoods in the city. So, what does the Civic Club do exactly? Here are some select efforts:
Beautification
The Beautification Committee regularly works to maintain the common grounds of Timbergrove Manor. This involves liaising with landscapers who maintain the esplanades along the borders of our neighborhood, as well as maintaining the marquee monuments by replacing broken letters and decorating at holidays.
Community Events
Each year the TMCC typically hosts an Easter Egg Hunt, Fourth of July Ice Cream Social, National Night Out, SnowFest Holiday Social and a Volunteer Appreciation Event, which are designed to build community among our neighbors. While most of the organizing and staffing is done by volunteer neighbors, we have terrific sponsors that help to offset the cost of refreshments and entertainment.
Environmental Affairs & Civic Engagement
Our Environmental Affairs Committee is very active in the maintenance and development of our neighborhood parks and spearheads involvement with sensitive projects like Bryce Chemical Feed Station. They also actively work with Super Neighborhood Council 14 and other city and county entities to ensure our neighborhood is maintained and improved.
Deed Restrictions & Design Review
We have a thoughtful and diligent Deed Restrictions Committee focused on ensuring that deed restrictions are understood and observed. This Committee works hand in hand with our Design Review Committee as it guides residents through remodeling or building new homes in the neighborhood.
Neighborhood Security
Neighborhood security is of paramount importance. The TMCC Security Committee regularly liaises with HPD to track reported incidents in the neighborhood. In 2020, the Citizen Patrol program was reinstated, in which volunteer residents patrol the neighborhood in their vehicle to report and deter crime. Numerous additional ideas to improve neighborhood security have been researched and will continue to be developed in the future.
