The Community Association - SMCA
A voluntary organization of residents who work together to maintain and improve the quality of life in our neighborhood.
Open to all property owners and residents in Stonewall Manor without regard to race, religion, creed, or national origin.
Membership in SMCA and payment of our annual dues is voluntary.
SMCA has published by-laws governing the election of board members and the annual general membership meeting.
The SMCA Board shares community information with its members on a regular basis through emails after signing up via bit.ly/stonewall-updates.
Manor Mail, an informal email group, shares local information. To sign up send an email to: ManorMail@googlegroups.com
Each year our association collects modest dues, publishes newsletters, provides an updated Directory of Residents and hosts community events.
The association negotiates a group rate with a waste collection company to reduce the price as well as to reduce the number of trash trucks driving through the community. Smcatrashfund@gmail.com
The association also advocates before local and state officials on issues affecting Stonewall, including land use, transportation, public safety issues, tax matters, and zoning concerns. We are a member of the Fairfax County Federation of Civic Associations and are part of the Providence District Council.
