Your first visit
Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.
First step: Come to the next monthly meeting on the second Monday, or to the October 12, 2026 candidates night, which the site says is open to all. Join as a member through the online form if you want to vote..
You can just show up. No sign up needed.
What to expect
Meetings take place once a month on the second Monday, and any neighbor can sit in. Only current members vote, and member dues start at $10 a year. The October 2026 meeting is a candidates night where candidates or their representatives answer questions.
Tips for your first visit
- The site's listing for October 12, 2026 gives a 7 pm start but no room, so email info@eastfallscommunity.org to ask where it is held.
- Membership is joined through an online form linked from the Join Us button, and the group's P.O. Box is on the site for mail.
Newcomer welcome
Fine for newcomers, but you may need to speak up (3 out of 5). Why we say this: The site says council meetings are open to all East Falls neighbors and links an online membership form. It does not describe a newcomer welcome..
