Yearly RHHA dues will be assessed on each lot and home. Failure to pay by January 31 incurs an 8% late fee. Please make sure that you have money in the account from which you write your checks.

Responsibilities of Members

Members of the Ruskin Heights Homes Association are called on to help improve and maintain their neighborhood. This is not only keeping your own property in good condition, but helping your neighbors work to keep all aspects of our neighborhood clean and safe. You can help be a Team Leader on Community Service weekends that fall on the second and fourth Saturday of the month. You can donate your time to help the Community Assistance Counsel give food and items to meet their needs. You can also help by donating food and items to the CAC as well as your time. The Meals on Wheels programs helps feed homebound individuals. Without drivers to facilitate the distribution of meals it is impossible to take on new clients and someone might go without. The need in our current times is growning. The Angel Food Ministry is a way to get food at a Co-op price to stretch your food dollar. Anyone can buy from this organization. (www.angelfoodministries.com) for the latest month's specials. Our schools are in need of YOUTH FRIEND / Tutors. Today you might not need these organizations today but who knows what tomorrow will bring. There are meetings monthly that inform our neighbors. See the calendar page or community meetings for this information. If you would like to help improve the place where you live call April at the office to see how YOU can help with these worthy programs that benifit us all.
