Welcome

Welcome to the Broadmoor Residents' Association web site! We are a Louisiana non-profit corporation and our objectives are to unite Broadmoor subdivision residents for the betterment of the area and to promote its general welfare and prosperity. Membership in the Association is completely voluntary and dues payable at any time during the year for the calendar year beginning in January. We rely entirely upon dues paying members, donations and fund raising activities to support our programs. Please join. The Association needs your support to carry out its programs. Donations are always appreciated. Visit the Membership Information Section for more information.

If you want to speak out about your neighborhood or learn what's your board is doing, please join us at 7 PM on the 3rd Monday of each month in the Adult Activities Building at the Broadmoor Methodist Church located at Sharp Road and Mollylea Drive. Our 2008 board has become increasingly proactive and the beneficial results around our neighborhood should be obvious.


Message from Gary Littlefield, President

Welcome to the Fall web page edition of The Broadmoor Breeze. So far, we have escaped the hurricane season and football season is in full swing. As I have done in the past, I am making a plea to ALL residents to join the organization by paying their dues and by becoming involved in some capacity.

We will be having elections for Board Officers in November and are also looking for Board Members that wish to serve a two year term. Our meetings are only one hour per month. The investment you have in your home is certainly worth a $50 annual membership cost and one hour every 3rd Monday of each month.

Thanks to all of you that paid your dues this year and in the past years that you have lived in Broadmoor. We appreciate all you do to make our subdivision a better place to live and raise our families.

And finally, thanks to all of the board members and committee volunteers who worked so hard in 2009! Without their efforts and the support from dues paying members, nothing would have been accomplished. Please feel free to contact me regarding your concerns about Broadmoor and also let me know how you think we're doing. I hope to see you at one of our open meetings on the 3rd Monday of each month at 7 PM in the Adult Education Building, Room 101 at Broadmoor United Methodist Church.



Support Your Broadmoor Neighborhood Watch

In December, the Neighborhood Watch Committee divided the Broadmoor map into 4 quadrants (Quads). Quad Coordinators have organized each quad with the help of neighborhood Block Captains. These Block Captains have contacted most residents to explain the program, have given out security brochures, and have distributed window decals and yard signs to residents who have paid their 2009 dues. If you are a paid member for 2009 and have not received your decal or sign, please send us an email or call the Hotline at 926-9829.

We need more Block Captains to make this program work effectively. Please consider volunteering. For more information, send an email to the NW Committee here.

It takes all of us working together to make this project a success. Help prevent crime and make our neighborhoods safer and more secure!

Motion approved to create Broadmoor Crime Prevention and Improvement District

(10/13/09) - At the August meeting of the board, a motion was introduced to take the necessary steps to create the Broadmoor Crime Prevention and Improvement District (BCPID). This motion was introduced after months of research, discussion, and consultation with our government representatives. All board members present voted unanimously to approve the motion.

The Broadmoor Residents' Association is asking our residents to help create a district that would increase funding for security patrols. Read the details of this important undertaking here.

Election of 2010 Board of Directors

(11/21/09) - Our association by-laws call for the election of board members at the October annual meeting each year. Due to unforseen delays with the Nominating Committee's report and in order to comply with the required mailing of notices to residents, the board voted to delay the election until Monday, November 16th. This year, there were several board members whose two-year terms were expiring, and these members agreed to serve again and were approved by the membership - Kim Ashford, Wayne Davis, Glenda Foster, Gary Littlefield, George Mermigas, Doug Olsen, Linda Pace, Greg Scott and Connor Uffman. Other returning 2009 Board Members who were not up for re-election and will continue to serve are Steven Covington, Hallie Dozier, Steven Graham, David Guillory, Johnny Kaiser, Avery Sloan, Jason Stagg and Julie White. New members nominated and elected for two-year terms are Lucas Banquer, Terry Bellon, Marcelle M. DeSoto, Jerry Graves, Vicki Johnston, Isiah Miller, Frank Mule, Blair Roussel, Rev. Nina Russell, Deana Searles and Joe Stuart.

Thanks to everyone for volunteering to serve on our board! We have an "almost full" slate of members for 2010 and look forward to a very interesting and productive year. We need volunteers to serve on the various committees and if you are interested, please call us at 926-9829 or email us for more information. The various Committees include Advertising, Beautification, Communications, Community Relations, Safety & Security, Membership, Welcoming, and Zoning.

Make Wise Tree Removal Decisions Before a Hurricane

Each year, as the tropical cyclone season arrives, homeowners across the region are eyeing their trees and wondering how safely they will weather the season. Should the tree stay or should it go? For many homeowners, the visible and physical impact of the destruction of trees and property during storm events is enough to prompt them to engage in "chain saw backlash," or the unnecessary removal of perfectly good, sound trees.
