The CHNA annual meeting for all members is Sunday, April 12, at EC Leonard Park
This year's Annual Membership Meeting will be
Sunday, April 12, at 3 pm in EC Leonard Park.
In recent years, this meeting has been held at the Chapel Library in early January. The Board instead will host a potluck celebration of spring. Bring a chair, and, if you wish, a light dish to share, and elect members to the Neighborhood Association board, hear what's planned for the coming year, and have a voice in what's happening in Coker Hills.
An annual meeting flyer and events calendar have been mailed to every home in the neighborhood. If you didn't receive one you can download them through the links above.
The agenda for this meeting is here. The notes on last year's meeting are here.

Thanks for joining us to celebrate Oktoberfest!
Our third annual Oktoberfest was a big success! The CHNA grilled bratwurst, hot dogs and soft pretzels and poured beer and beverages. The event was free for CHNA member families, and only $10 for adult guests. Kids are always welcome free of charge.
Oktoberfest is held at our neighborhood park, E.C. Leonard Playground, at the corner of Audubon and Clayton Roads.
Other recent events include the School's Out Ice Cream Social
There's no such thing as too many sprinkles!
Fuel up before heading out to Trick or Treat! We'll have pizza and drinks for kids and kids-at-heart.
The annual meeting of the Coker Hills Neighborhood Association was held January 26 at 1:00 pm at the Chapel Hill Public Library. Minutes of the meeting can be found here.
Fourth of July Kids' Parade!
Music, Dogs, and Fun in the Park!
Neighbors enjoyed music, family and friends, and free hotdogs and fixin's on Saturdays in May and September.
National Register of Historic Places
The effort to add Coker Hills to the National Register of Historic Places, joining four other neighborhoods in Chapel Hill, has now received preliminary federal approval. The next step in this federal designation process is photographing the exterior of homes in the neighborhood.
Phillip Lyons, of Preservation Chapel Hill, the organization that is shepherding the process, said at a neighborhood information session on February 18, 2024 that the designation could be in place within eighteen months. This federal designation showcases the unique architectural nature of Coker Hills and allows a 15% tax credit on many home renovations. It should be noted that this distinction is quite different from similarly named locally designated "historic districts" in that it places no limits whatsoever on homeowners' ability to modify their property. Background information and online contacts can be found here. You can read the recent neighborhood mailing from Preservation Chapel Hill here.
The board of the Coker Hills Neighborhood Association supports this recognition of our special neighborhood.
Coker Hills Neighborhood Association membership approves changes to the Board of the organization.

Thanks to all who joined us for the Halloween Pizza Party and the Concert in the Park with the fabulous Drowning Lovers!
Congratulations and thanks to all the neighbors who embraced the spooky for Halloween!
