Your Morehead Hill Neighborhood Association Membership matters
Your all-volunteer, non-profit Morehead Hill Neighborhood Association (MHNA) needs your support in the form of membership. Please consider joining or renewing today.
MHNA volunteers support you by providing a neighborhood listserv, this website (moreheadhill.org), and remaining active in the broader Durham community. We provide delegates to the Inter Neighborhood Council (INC), the Quality of Life (QoL) project, and the Duke Durham Neighborhood Partnership. We also work with various local government agencies, such as the Planning Dept., Parks & Rec, Neighborhood Improvement Services, and others.
These activities involve advocacy on behalf of neighborhood residents as well as frequent sharing of information to and from these other important community organizations.
It's true that the pandemic has curtailed some of our usual activities. We have been unable to hold in-person neighborhood events, such as potluck meals. In the past, almost all new memberships and renewals have occurred at such in-person events, so almost all our members have let their memberships lapse. A number of Durham neighborhoods have lost their neighborhood associations entirely due to lack of membership. Let's not let that happen here.
Please join or renew your MHNA membership today.
Membership is open to all residents; past, present, and future. Suggested annual dues are $20 for an individual, $25 for a family, or $25 for a business. If you cannot afford that much, a contribution in any amount will qualify you for membership.
Right now, membership numbers are more important to us than money; our participation in INC, for example, requires a certain level of membership and we are not meeting that requirement.
Dues and additional contributions may be sent by check or via PayPal (payable to MHNAMeet@gmail.com; please include your street address & email address in the message box). Physical checks can be mailed to:

MHNA Elects Board, Updates By-Laws
The Morehead Hill Neighborhood Association (MHNA) Board of Directors is a team of volunteers elected annually by MHNA members. At our Annual Meeting on October 22, 2022 members elected the 2023 board. Two of the current board members chose not to run again, four were re-elected, and we added one new member. See the Neighborhood Association page for details.
Several board positions remain open. Residents of Morehead Hill are asked to please consider serving on the MHNA Board of Directors. This involves a commitment to attend monthly board meetings, which only last an hour or so, and take place here in the neighborhood.
You are invited to nominate yourself and/or others on this online Nomination Form.
