The first and most important reason for joining BARA is to have a voice in the affairs of the community. BARA provides a forum for dialogue on community matters through its meetings and other means.

The BARA Bugle / Electronic Newsletter

Two thousand copies of the Bugle are distributed to all area households and businesses twice annually, usually in November and April, by a group of volunteer carriers. And our Electronic Newsletter is published in the intervening months to ensure a steady flow of news to our residents. Both publications update the community on local issues and provide information about BARA meetings and activities. Copies of the recent editions of the Bugle and the Electronic Newsletter may be accessed through the links on our Home page.

Welcome Package

BARA has a Welcome Package which we distribute to every new homeowner in Broadmead. If you are new to the area or have noticed a SOLD sign on a home near you, please email us or give us a call so we can deliver a welcome package. Information for newcomers is also available on our Newcomers page.
