Cooper Neighborhood Association

Cooper Neighborhood Association was organized and incorporated in 2002 using the new concept for model neighborhoods.  Its boundaries are defined as the boundaries of Cooper Elementary School (Garnett Road to 145th East Avenue and 11th to 21st Street).

Everyone whose home base is within those boundaries, and supports the goals and purposes of the Association, is considered a member.  Each family and organization is encouraged to contribute a nominal fee to support the Association newsletter and other activities. 

The Association meets quarterly at Cooper Elementary School, 1808 South 123 East Avenue (unlesss otherwise notified).  Meetings are listed on the web site calendar.

The Association is incorporated as a 501(c)3 Not for Profit organization, maintains a web site and publishes a quarterly newsletter to keep its members in touch.
