E-Statements & Communications
As the world evolves, so do our communication & billing practices. We are beginning to push more emails/newsletters via Wix.com. This change in email servers has caused some of our mailings to be directed to spam folders. We apologize for this, but there is a fix! Please add Forest Park, fphra80122@gmail.com to your email contacts. If you use Gmail, here is a quick tutorial.
Sign up for e-statements! This is the best, easiest, most convenient, and economical way to pay your quarterly or yearly dues. Buying stamps & stationery, printing, and getting volunteers to stuff envelopes every quarter is costly and time-consuming. If you haven't already, please email us, and we will be happy to enroll you.
Would you like to pay your dues annually? Send us a quick email requesting an annual statement.
Would you be interested in opting in for text messages from Forest Park HRA?? This would give you updates on what is going on around the neighborhood or anything you may be missing on the emails! Please let us know by emailing us so we can see if there is enough interest in that.
