Not only do they organise events like BBQs, garage sales, parties, parades, x-mas caroling etc, they also represent their members political interests. They are one of the backbones of the unique community feel of each neighbourhood. Generally, they are operated by volunteers, who dedicate their free time to help build community culture.
You can find links to various associations on my website under the relevant sub-site for each neighbourhood. Let me know if I am missing someone!
A great 2009 to everybody.
