Want to help build & sustain our community?
The Little High Neighborhood Association Board is committed to building and cultivating a welcoming community for all of its residents. We encourage residents of the Little High Neighborhood to become involved in the neighborhood association and to join the board. Please read our Constitution and Bylaws for more information about the LHNA Board or contact any of the individual members listed above.
The Little High Neighborhood Association
Any person residing in the Little High Neighborhood is a de facto member of the neighborhood association (LHNA). The Little High Neighborhood Association board is comprised of neighborhood volunteers. All residents are eligible to serve on the board. Information on joining the LHNA board can be found here or by writing to the LHNA board. The LHNA board is committed to doing what it can to foster a neighborhood that is inclusive and welcoming to all regardless of ancestry, race, ethnicity, citizenship status, income, religion, age, sexual orientation, gender identity and/or expression, status as a veteran, disability, etc. Our neighborhood board is especially committed to providing practical help where possible to our elderly or vulnerable residents, to promoting affordable housing both within our neighborhood and throughout the greater Charlottesville community, to promoting automobile traffic safety, to improving the walkability of our neighborhood, and to efforts to help reduce our carbon footprint and foster environmental sustainability. For more information on our goals, see our Constitution & Bylaws.
Neighborhood Association Dues
The suggested payment amount is $15-$35 per residence or pay what you can per year. ALL neighborhood residents are members of the Little High Neighborhood Association entitled to full and equal membership by virtue of their residency alone. In other words, paying dues is NOT strictly required: you live here, you’re in. But dues money is very much appreciated because it allows us to do more things (e.g., paying for our annual picnic and other events throughout the year, the cost of printing the occasional petition for neighborhood needs — e.g., traffic calming — and flyers for important notifications regarding construction or demolition projects or very important meetings, cards and flowers and/or care packages for specific residents when needed, etc. Ways to pay Checks can be made out to the “Little High Neighborhood Association” and mailed to our Treasurer Julia Rubarth at 1208 E. Jefferson. Dues can also be paid through Venmo (Venmo id: @LittleHighNA). The LHNA has zero overhead. All money collected in dues goes directly toward various projects to improve neighborhood life (e.g., neighborhood backyard concerts, picnics, bonfires, and other gatherings throughout the year) and to help neighbors and members of the broader Charlottesville community with specific and limited needs. Please Note: No member of the neighborhood association board receives payment of any kind for their time or for any service provided on behalf of the LHNA board.
