FOXHALL COMMUNITY CITIZENS ASSOCIATION

The FCCA is a membership-based organization funded solely by dues and donations. Meetings are open to everyone, though only members may vote. We try to meet six times a year — January, February, April, June, September, and November at the Hardy Recreation Center at 4500 Q Street NW. There is on-street parking and rides can be arranged, if needed. The date, time, and the agenda for each meeting is published in the FCCA newsletter, as well as posted on the FCCA website and on the FCCA Listserv. FCCA members may request items to be included on the agenda provided 15-days advance notice is given. At the end of the general meeting, community comment on non-agenda interests may be presented time permitting.

A volunteer elected Board meets monthly to identify issues of concern, to collect and disseminate information (via the newsletter, the neighborhood list serve, this web site, and email alerts) and to plan the bi-monthly general meetings at which the Board can gauge community opinion on current and future issues.

Small committees meet as needed to work on specific issues and to plan popular community events such as the annual FCCA Spring Fling at Hardy Park and the FCCA Halloween Party. Anyone can volunteer to help plan events, submit newsletter articles, or work on neighborhood issues that interest them.

The FCCA’s Mission: The FCCA aims to promote friendship and a sense of community in our service area, to enhance the quality of life for residents, to preserve the unique features of our neighborhood, to represent neighborhood interests before regulatory and administrative legal authorities, and to assist governmental agencies in the fulfillment of their duties.

The Association’s informative newsletter (see sidebar for CURRENT NEWSLETTER link), delivered by FCCA volunteers free to all households in the area, informs the community about upcoming events and meetings, provides background information on issues of interest and concern, as well as news about your neighbors.
