Our Mission Statement

Mission Statement

Vandever Avenue Civic Association(Committee) was formed in 1956 to serve the common needs of our community. We were incorporated in the State of Delaware in 1974; as a not for profit community organization. Officers and committee members are not compensated for their time; all of our efforts are expended on a volunteer basis. The Mission of The Vandever Avenue Civic Association is to preserve the quality of our neighborhood; second, to keep the community informed on those issues that impact us; and third, to be an advocate for the community’s position on those issues with our city and state Government.

 It is our intent to educate and communicate with residences of the local regulations that apply to our neighborhood and supports community organizations to include the PTA, neighborhood schools and the Boy & Girls Club.  It is also our intent to operate an active Neighborhood Watch program and to assist local law enforcement to protect our community, our property and maintain a quality way of life.
