Board, Volunteers, and Contact
Everything the Civic Club does is done by volunteers who live here. This page covers who they are, how to reach them, and how to get involved.
What the Board Does
The Civic Club is a Texas nonprofit run by an elected board of resident volunteers. There is no management company and no paid staff. The board meets through the year and holds a resident meeting at least once a year. The board:
- Manages the Smith Protective patrol agreement and coordinates with the three neighboring civic clubs that share it
- Reviews building plans through the Architectural Control Committee and keeps the deed restrictions enforceable
- Keeps the esplanades mowed and planted and the entrance signs in good repair
- Collects dues and keeps the books
- Publishes the Knollwood Village Voice four times a year and sends email alerts
- Throws National Night Out, the decorating contests, and the spring festival
- Represents the neighborhood with city and county officials
Getting Involved
Most roles take a few hours a month. No experience with civic clubs or nonprofits is needed, and renters are as welcome as owners. Where help is needed right now:
- Vice President. The seat is open.
- Any committee. Architectural control, security, welcome, communications, social, and beautification all take new members.
Email president@knollwoodvillage.org and say what you'd like to do.
