Garden Oaks Civic Club

Voluntary Membership Community Organization for Owners & Residents of Garden Oaks

Who We (GOCC) Are

The Purpose of GOCC is promoting the civic and social welfare of the residents of Garden Oaks, fostering neighborhood unity, and assisting in activities that benefit and promote the residential character of the neighborhood. GOCC is not the property owners’ association for Garden Oaks and has no deed restriction enforcement authority.

For 2025, we will meet at Great Heights Brewing (private back room). No meeting in October (National Night Out)

Membership is open to anyone in the neighborhood, whether you own or rent. Membership is voluntary, but only paid members can vote on Civic Club matters. Membership dues are a primary source for funding neighborhood activities, which are described in the committee descriptions below. You do not need to be a member to attend monthly meetings.
