Volunteer

~ Help keep the “Great” in Great Oak Farm ~

Volunteers are needed to serve on the board, our various committees and to run social events. Why join the board? It’s a great way to get involved, have a say and keep the neighborhood running smoothly.

 About the Board

The Great Oak Farm Homeowner’s Association has been in operation since 1994. Our Executive Board consists of seven elected members.  In addition several committee advisors serve under their direction.  Board members are elected to two-year terms. The board and committee members volunteer their time each year to ensure our septic system, streets and grounds are maintained properly and provide solutions to issues with our rules and by-laws. Capital expenditures and improvements are also driven through the board.

Through the dedicated efforts of volunteers over the years, Great Oak Farm HOA has remained a fiscally sound, esthetically pleasing and safe neighborhood.  As residents, we have benefited greatly with very reasonable common charges, a well-run infrastructure, and an active family- friendly atmosphere.
