The NCA has come a long way from our (latest) beginnings in March of 2016. We currently have over 150 member households; host several annual events, such as the 4th of July Tie Dye Party and Parade, Black Friday Market, and the Steel Dreamin’ Block Party; and help to keep people in the neighborhood connected and informed.
But, as we head into our 4th year, we need YOU to get more involved in the NCA! We are currently looking for new Board members (President, Vice President, and Secretary) as well as committee chairs and committee members. If you are interested in helping out in any way, please contact our Vice President, Chris Hester, at 404-374-0636 or c_hester@bellsouth.net. The opportunities are limitless.
