Neighbors working together to promote safety and build community.
Love Where You Live
The Terra Del Sol Neighborhood Association is a group of neighbors who love where we live and strive to take care of our community. We do this through family-friendly events, informative quarterly meetings, and neighborhood initiatives like clean-up projects.
Our community is nestled between 22nd and Golf Links and Wilmot and Kolb. We are a diverse community with schools, grocery stores, restaurants, churches, a park, a pool, and many other businesses within our borders.
Please explore our website for helpful information about the neighborhood. To learn more about the history of Terra Del Sol, please click the link below.
Association Meetings
We hold meetings on a quarterly basis: January, April, July, October. Our meetings are one hour long and have a simple format. We usually invite a guest speaker for the first 15 minutes to share insight and expertise on safety and resources in our community. We spend about 15-30 minutes sharing about upcoming events or initiatives and any pertinent information our neighborhood should be aware of. Whatever time remains is left for questions and discussion. Our meetings are open to all Terra Del Sol residents.
Next Meeting: October 28
Join us for our next quarterly meeting October 28, at 6pm, held at the 22nd Street Baptist Church, 6620 E. 22nd Street, East meeting room.
Our guest speaker will be from Environmental Services to help clarify the future of alley trash pick-up.
Donate Resources, Donate Time
In order to make the impact we want on our neighborhood, we depend on donations from our neighbors! Whether you are donating your resources or your time, your generosity can help make a difference in our Terra Del Sol community.
Resources
We suggest a $10 annual donation, but we welcome donations of any size and any frequency. Donations help pay for mailers, our website, clean-up supplies, neighborhood events, etc. Please note that we cannot offer tax deductions as we are not a 501(c)(3).
Park Light Sponsorship
Did you know that our park offers dusk to dawn lighting as well as power outlets at our gazebo? This enables folks to enjoy evening events in the park. Payment for this special lighting is around $30/month and is the responsibility of our neighborhood association. If you have a business, contact us about sponsorship opportunities.
Time
We are always looking for volunteers to help when we host special events like BBQs or when we coordinate neighborhood clean-ups. If you have a neighborhood initiative that you’re interested in spearheading, we’d love to hear from you. The sky is the limit on how we can serve our community!
Please contact us if you are interested in donating, would like to learn more about sponsorship opportunities, or if you would like to learn about how you can volunteer with us!
