A Letter from our GOHCA President, Ellen Elias
2021 Dues Invoice (front)
A Little Lagniappe Print out this sheet also to mail in with your dues & fill it in if you wish to donate more than the dues - to a special GOHCA fund, such as additional cameras (beyond the main 3 entrances - which should be completed in the next few weeks), additional entrance decorations, or add your own suggestion!
To pay your 2021 dues:
You can pay your dues online, using PayPal or a Credit Card,
and submit the online form with your information
OR
You can print out a dues form to mail in with your check!
OR
along with your 2021 dues check.
(Or go to "About Us" tab at top and Scroll down to "Pay Dues Now"!!
2021 Membership Update
Membership will be updated on a regular basis - we're off to a good start but need more participation!
As of July 17, 2021: 363 members out of 744 residents or 49% have paid!
(0.487)
The PayPal/Credit Card online payment is a convenience for many - but sometimes it is difficult to identify who has paid for many reasons:
1. The membership is paid by a parent/grandparent with a different last name.
2. The address is not listed on the PayPal payment.
3. The person who paid may have a PayPal account listed in a different last name (maiden name before getting married, etc.
4. It could be a new family who moved in that we don't know about yet.
5. It could be someone who previously did not want to give their name & was listed as "Neighbor".
So please be sure to include all your information when paying dues!
