Civic Club Benefits
Your Civic Club at Work
What Does $25 a Year Support?
Shepherd Park Plaza is more than a collection of houses. It is a community built and supported by neighbors.
The Shepherd Park Plaza Civic Club is led by residents who volunteer their time and talents to strengthen our neighborhood, maintain the things we value and create opportunities for neighbors to connect.
Annual Civic Club dues are just $25 per household—about $2 per month—and help support a wide range of neighborhood services, communications and activities.
2027 Civic Club Dues: $25
Most residents pay Civic Club dues together with their $350 Constable dues for a combined annual contribution of $375.
