The Broad Run Farms Civic Association (BRFCA) is a 501(c)7 volunteer organization that works to help our neighborhood be a great place to live. We are a unique, eclectic subdivision in the fact that we do not have a Homeowners' Association (HOA) with its associated By-Laws, Architectural Review Board and their constraints. However a successful Civic Association does require property owners and residents to take ownership and be good stewards of their property and the neighborhood in general. The Civic Association is a great organization and we are stronger as a whole than as individual residents. Your Civic Association Dues are spent to improve our neighborhood and help our neighbors. We do not represent the neighborhood, but we are a venue for events and community information. The BRFCA has two major goals:
First, the Association maintains two BRFCA owned properties, one, the Pavilion property, on Broad Run Drive and the other, a boat ramp on the Potomac River, for Civic Association members to enjoy. We also hold neighborhood events like our summer picnic, chili cook off and a Halloween party. We have provided a community scholarship to graduating high school seniors. In the past, we have been charitable to our community by providing funds for things like printer cartridges to the schools that teach our children and have contributed to Loudoun Interfaith to help those in need during the holiday season. The Board with the membership's input determine how dues and donations will be used.
Second, but no less important, we keep residents informed on issues that arise that could affect our neighborhood at County, State and Federal levels. Although we do not represent you directly, we do give you a venue where you can come together as a community for what is best for our neighborhood. Strength in numbers has been and will continue to be beneficial to our Association.
The Association holds monthly meetings on the second Wednesday, usually at the Pavilion (creek) property at 7pm. An alternate location is Galilee United Methodist Church. Venue changes will be announced. All owners and residents are welcome. However, only paid members of the Association (members in good standing) are allowed to vote on issues brought before the Board.
The Association accomplishes its mission by requesting that each owner and/or resident of Broad Run Farms join the association for an annual fee of just $50.00 per person (not per address). Note that unlike an HOA, there is no requirement to join the Civic Association. But without your support, many projects and events cannot be completed or accomplished with our all-volunteer staff. Your dues help pay for the maintenance of the Association properties and to fund activities and events sponsored by our association. Please see the Dues page for more information.
