1. Increased Community Engagement - Be a part of our many community gatherings and activities such as Movie Night at the Beach, Holiday Festivities, Town Hall Happy Hour and other events all geared toward bringing neighbors closer together. We are dedicated to creating a sense of camaraderie and joy among neighbors, and opportunities to make new, some even life-long friendships.

2. Access To Town Hall - All ACA Members are able to rent Town Hall for their private events throughout the year. We have many improvements planned for Town Hall this year to make your experience even better. Last year we added Wi-Fi and remodeled our kitchen. Be a member and take advantage of this opportunity.

3. Free Entertainment & Discounted Event Participation - As ACA membership allows us to plan and organize ACA Sponsored Entertainment events, those who are ACA members will attend these events for free and pay a discounted rate for Special Events requiring registration/sign-up (e.g., annual community yard sale, vendor events, community parties, etc.).

4. Increased Community Pride - As we mentioned above, community activities and events help bring neighbors together, which increases the pride of ownership and ACA membership within the community.

5. Added Layer of Support - The ACA works for you and serves as liaison between our community and local/state jurisdictions to be the voice of Arden on development matters and infrastructure maintenance needs at the community level. It also works closely with Arden Beaches, Inc. (ABI) through a permanent seat on its Board of Governors to advocate for Arden's private beach properties with regard to operations and maintenance. Be an ACA member and help support the ACA in these important matters.

6. Community Connection Through Volunteer Opportunities - Through the ACA, there are many volunteer opportunities where you can be of service to your community. Whether it be through committee and club participation, or even taking the lead to help support those missions. Or, by simply volunteering to help with the various community projects for our common areas, Town Hall, or even in collaboration with Arden Beaches. This is also a great way to make new friends, but it offers ACA members a deeper connection to the community.
