HTNA Annual 4th of July Picnic
Saturday, July 4th,
11:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.,
Terrace Park
HTNA Members,
Preparations are already underway for our annual 4th of July picnic! It will be held on Saturday, July 4th from 11am-1pm at Terrace Park. This year the Association is pleased to be able to provide hot dogs, chips, cookies and drinks--you don't need to bring a thing except for yourselves and something comfy to sit on. Of course, those baked beans and potato salads are always welcome if you would like to bring a dish to share.
In order for us to adequately prepare the proper amount of food, we are asking each family that plans to attend to RSVP by Wednesday, July 1. Please send your name and the number of people in your family that you will be bringing to the picnic to htnasocial@yahoo.com --if you have a neighbor that is not a member, invite them to come with you and send us their name and the number in their party as well. If you have any questions or would like to volunteer to help during the picnic, please contact Crystal Burris at 972-690-4486 or Leah Jennings at 972-238-8204.
Bring your lawn chairs or a blanket to spread on the ground, and come relax with neighbors, enjoy lunch, and let the kids play. Every HTNA member that attends and signs our guest list will be eligible for door prizes!
More information regarding the 4th of July picnic will be arriving in your email inbox as the day draws near.
If we don’t have your email address, please contact our Membership Chairman, Rob D’Entremont at 972-234-9220 or pilepro@sbcglobal.net and ask him to add your address to our notification list. If you have any questions or would like to volunteer to help, please call Crystal Burris at 972-690-4486 or Leah Jennings at 972-238-8204.
See you at the park!

What is the Highland Terrace Neighborhood Association (HTNA)?
The HTNA is not a Home Owners AssociationLet’s start by stating that the HTNA is not a Home Owners Association (HOA). The HTNA does not impose mandatory dues, management fees, or building and landscaping restrictions. The City of Richardson enforces all building and maintenance codes. Membership in the HTNA is only $15.00 per year and is strictly voluntary.
So what do you get for only $15 per year?
- First and foremost, volunteer HTNA members represent the neighborhood at City Council and City Planning Commission meetings. This representation keeps the needs and concerns of our neighborhood in front of the Richardson City Council.
- The HTNA keeps members posted on activities of the City Council and City Planning Commission and improvements to the infrastructure in our neighborhood.
- HTNA volunteers maintain an active Neighborhood Crime Watch that works closely with the Richardson Police Department to deter crime and the neighborhood safer for everyone.
- HTNA volunteers host social gatherings such as spring and fall picnics, Easter egg hunt, and the 4th of July celebration. These events are not only fun for children but also provide an informal forum for residents to meet each other and exchange concerns and ideas for improving our neighborhood.
- Using membership dues, HTNA volunteers beautify the neighborhood medians and offer recognition for beautiful yards and seasonal decorations. All of this helps to maintain property values!
- HTNA members receive quarterly newsletters throughout the year keeping them informed.
Whether you’re new to the area or have made the Highland Terrace Neighborhood your home for years, we welcome you and urge you to be a member of the HTNA. As neighbors working together we can accomplish more than each of us can alone. With each additional member we stand a better chance of having our voice heard in Richardson and are able to take a more proactive stance in the way we direct our neighborhood in the future.
Regardless of whether you are a member, HTNA volunteers are working for YOU.
Help yourself and help your neighbors by joining the HTNA. A Membership Application is only a click away and, if you have time to volunteer in any way, contact an HTNA Board member.
