Support TAHO

How to Support TAHO

Donations and dues are voluntary and only $50 for the year.

Our Benefits and Accomplishments

Your dollars help fund:

"Google Groups Email" for staying informed, i.e., handyman/contractor referrals, bear break-ins, downed trees, burn permits, events, etc.
Website and Newsletters informing you of events, projects, and speakers, such as: forest and trail cleanup north of Timberland and throughout the public trails; neighborhood dumpster clean-up days, dumpster locations, chipping days; repaving dates; any news that impacts our neighborhood.
If we secure sufficient funding, we'd like to request that the Conservancy and Forest Lot do clean up, as they often leave rounds behind.
CA Secretary of State filing fees
General liability insurance is purchased for homes hosting an event
A CPA for IRS filings
Marketing costs: Website, signage for temporary announcements, flyers, poster boards, office supplies, mailings, postage, refrigerator magnets, etc.
Food and beverages for events
Funds do NOT go towards Board Member salaries. We are volunteers, too.

Funny story: Bert Anderson accidentally knocked the original 1934 sign down with his loader in 1951. He put up a new Timberland sign, pictured above, which was restored/replaced from 2020-2023.
