Block Captain
Posted by: | Comments
Oh Captain, My Captain…
Ok, so what is a block captain? Do you get a whistle and a clip board? Do you check up on your neighbors’ yards? Does it require a big time commitment?
No, No, No, it’s just a chance to serve your community in a small way… or a big way if you choose. It’s up to you!
Block captains are not responsible for looking for covenant violations, that’s why we have a management company! The time commitment is what you decide.
Here are some things block captains do:
- Greet new neighbors and give them a list of all the essential local numbers.
- Help organize your block for National Night Out.
- Help Organize an Annual Neighborhood Clean up
- Help distribute Invites for the New Annual Community Picnic
Here are some things a block captain CAN do:
- Distribute invites to the new community wide picnic.
- Organize a phone tree.
- Include a plate of cookies with the greeting of the new neighbor.
- Organize a fourth of July parade
- Keep and distribute a contact list for the street
Below is a list of the streets in the HOA and the number of homes on each street, if you are interested in distributing invites for the picnic, assisting your block captain, or becoming a block captain. Pleas email info@eldoradohomeowners.org.
