Comment on Signs

There has been a recent spate of folks with missing pets posting signs around the neighborhood regarding their pets.

They get ratty and faded and can really make the area look trashy.

Clairmont Heights Evening Garden Club 1957-1976

The CHCA board is in possession of a three ring binder with over one hundred typewritten and handwritten notes from meetings of the “Clairmont Heights Evening Garden Club” from 1957 to 1976. It is the earliest known community organization in our neighborhood. There are gaps in the records and residents with old documents or memories of this or other early neighborhood organizations are invited to share them with the CHCA board.
