| Topic | My block wants donations for a sign outside our street. How much to donate? |
| IdiotMachine 12/06/19 8:40:37 PM #1: | The block where I live is essentially a one way entrance, and has about 30 houses. At the entrance, there is a nice, brick, ornate sign that is lit up (typically what you would expect for an HOA / cookie cutter "Ryan" homes, but my block has all custom homes and is also not an HOA). Turns out ever since 22 years ago, the residents of this block all got together and donated to get that made. Ever since then, they rely on donations to maintain the sign. Letter I got says it costs $600/year to maintain (grounds keeping plus electric). The household that is taking care of that sign is inviting everyone over for a Christmas breakfast tomorrow morning, and requested people to bring donations for the sign, as the funds are getting low (~$400 in reserves). I just moved into this house, and I never really met my neighbors. I'm guessing I should go, to introduce myself and get to know the neighbors somewhat. So...... how much should I donate? . . . TL;DR: My block has a brick sign at the entrance that costs $600/year to maintain. My block is not an HOA. One house is hosting a Christmas breakfast to solicit donations to keep it going.
