Why should you get involved with HDNA?
|
|
Be Informed
|
HDNA provides a forum for neighbors to be informed about local events and about issues at the local, regional, state and federal level that affect the neighborhood. It's a great place to share information and to get it.
|
|
Improve Services
|
HDNA provides a larger voice as individuals come together to support one another and collaborate to seek favorable solutions to concerns.
|
|
Save Money
|
You can take advantage of discounts and special offers while supporting local businesses. As a neighborhood, often businesses can offer group discounts on services you already use and products you already buy. And, because basic membership is free to residents, HDNA can actually put you money ahead!
|
|
Joy of Creation
|
Share and apply your know-how in the HDNA on-line newsletter. Or, discover the deep satisfaction of creating, planning and completing a new project.
|
|
Joy of Teamwork
|
Join your friends and neighbors and accomplish the goals you set in activity groups. What we can do together will amaze you!
|
|
Meet New People
|
You wave to the folks across the street and drive past a dozen homes everyday, but often we're too busy to do more. With HDNA, you can match faces to those houses you pass daily. Find out what kind of interesting people you share a neighborhood with. It's the friendliest neighborhood on the block! |
|
Get Active
|
Instead of sitting on the couch after dinner, go for a walk with the neighborhood walk group. Spend your weekends improving your home, getting involved in the community, and helping others. It feels good and your doctor will tell you it's good for you, too! |
|
Give Back
|
Have you ever wanted to give back to the Community but didn't know how to get started? HDNA can help. We can offer scholarships, help the ill, elderly, and disabled improve their homes, and share with others your fountain of knowledge. |
|
Learn a New Skill
|
Knowledge is a powerful thing and HDNA is chock-full of powerful minds. Learn skills such as home remodeling, home repairs, landscaping, and more! |
