Your first visit
Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.
First step: Ask the association for the time and place of its next monthly meeting, then attend and see how it runs..
You can just show up.
What to expect
The association meets monthly, and the site invites people who live or work in Upper Holmesburg. Its volunteers work on local issues with city leaders and elected officials, but the site does not describe how long a meeting runs or what happens there. Membership dues are listed on the site, so check the period before you pay.
Tips for your first visit
- Confirm the meeting time and place before you go, since the site does not list them.
- Look at the Become a Member page for the dues before you decide to join.
- Ask about upcoming meetings directly, since the Events page lists none.
Newcomer welcome
Takes some effort for newcomers (2 out of 5). Why we say this: The site invites neighbors who live or work in the area to the monthly meetings, but gives no meeting time or place and lists membership dues, so the way in is unclear..
