Your first visit
Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.
First step: Email Rhawnhurstcivic@aol.com or call 215.439.9074 to ask whether non-members can attend the next monthly meeting, held on the third Wednesday at 7 pm at Pelbano Playground. To join, print the membership application from the website..
What to expect
The meeting is monthly and in person at Pelbano Playground, and the calendar entries run from 7 to 8 pm. The agenda posted for the October 21, 2026 meeting includes police community relations reports, updates from elected officials' offices, and local zoning. Members must pay dues and attend at least three meetings a year to stay in good standing.
Tips for your first visit
- Confirm the date before you go, since one calendar entry is titled 'March Membership Meeting' but is dated October 21, 2026.
- Membership is for residents inside the Rhawnhurst boundary who are at least 18.
- Ask whether guests may sit in, since the site does not say.
- The page does not say how to return the application, so ask the group before you send it.
Newcomer welcome
Takes some effort for newcomers (2 out of 5). Why we say this: Joining needs a residency check, an application and dues. The site does not say whether non-members can come to meetings, so the way in is unclear..
