Annual Membership Drive Each May we ask our neighbors to renew their Palisades Residents Association dues. Since our last newsletter, the Palisades Residents Association has received dues from the following persons in our neighborhood. Some sent checks for $15, the cost of an annual membership, while many donated more, all which we greatly appreciate! Anyone who lives in the Palisades neighborhood, whether homeowner or renter, is considered to be a member of the association. You don’t have to pay dues, but it helps when our volunteers don’t have to dip into their pockets to pay association expenses. A portion of our annual budget comes from advertising in the Palisades Perspective newsletter. When you do business with our advertisers, please mention that you saw their ad in the Palisades Perspective.
