Welcome to the Neighborhood!
Membership Dues
If you live in the Birchwood Neighborhood and would like to become a paid member, you are in the right place. In addition to contributing to neighborhood expenses, paid members have voting privileges and the ability to run for a position on the Birchwood board if you satisfy the requirements on the board members webpage.
Dues are paid annually for the calendar year.
Get involved with the Birchwood Neighborhood Association (BNA) by becoming a sustaining member with your $15 dues. Additional donations are gratefully accepted. BNA is a 501(c)3 non-profit and your donation is tax deductible. You may also mail a check, made out to Birchwood Neighborhood Association, to our treasurer (Jeannie Gilbert, 2717 W Maplewood Ave, Bellingham, WA 98225). Please include your name, address, and email address. Dues and donations go towards funding this website, signage, restocking pet waste stations, and neighborhood gatherings. International market funds are kept separately.
