We offer two membership options. A regular annual membership is $25, but if you signup with the Rotary at flagmapper.com/richardsonflags and contract for a flag your membership is $15. The program places flags six times a year on major holidays. We can offer this discount due to the work of volunteers in the neighborhood who place and pickup the flags.
Mistakes happen and we may have dropped the ball. If you think you are current, please let us know so we can sort it out.
We appreciate your interest in North College Park. If you live in the neighborhood, please let us know so we can update our records.

>>> Monthly Book Club
Our next book club will be at the Huffines Recreation Center on March 7th from 1-3pm to discuss The Correspondent by Virginia Evans.
If you’d like to join us for this book club, start suggesting books to read with us, or just meet a wonderful group of people please email spateshannah@gmail.com.
>>> Crime Patrol Report
We are ready to welcome you to Crime Watch. Please email Doug Freeman at d1004free@aol.com to join! Our monthly dinner meetings are held the first Thursday of every month at Rocco’s Italian Grill at 6pm. Dinner and a visit with our Richardson Police Representative (when available).
To participate in Crime Patrol, you can patrol as you feel led. One hour per month is the suggested service. Many patrollers use this time to walk with friends, their pets, or just enjoy time on their own knowing they’re doing their part to make the neighborhood safer.
>>> House Number Project
We have an incredibly special house number project in NCPNPA. Volunteers will create a handmade wooden sign for your back fence to comply with city regulations. This service is FREE to members. These signs make it easier for emergency services to find your residence. Contact Doug Freeman, d1004free@aol.com for yours if you don’t have one!
