2009 Membership Drive Is Underway - Become a Member!
Dear Prospective Member:
The Studio City Residents Association (SCRA) is the only organization working solely for
residents, whether they are homeowners, condo owners or renters. The challenges of increased traffic, development and mansionization, and the importance of preserving the beauty and culture of our Studio City “village,” give every reason to join the SCRA.
When we drive down any of our Studio City streets and boulevards, we know what's at stake.
Over-sized condominiums, massive mini-mansions filling postage stamp lots. Traffic on Ventura Boulevard, Moorpark, Laurel Canyon, Whitsett and Coldwater is fast approaching total gridlock. This unchecked growth and congestion has a negative impact on all our lives.
The SCRA is managed and funded solely by Studio City's residents. Our volunteer representatives attend hearings, meet with local elected officials and carry out many other activities on behalf of our residents. Our sister organization, the Studio City Beautification Association, continues to make Studio City a “greener,” cleaner place to live. The SCRA works with public safety officials to help ensure our members have the information and tools so important for emergency preparedness and overall safety. And the SCRA continues to work on your behalf to preserve our green spaces, especially Save LA River Open Space, formally known as Save Studio City Golf & Tennis.
.
Membership in SCRA is critical. With your support, SCRA can continue these activities and more.We can hire professionals to fight on your behalf when needed, produce the comprehensive newsletter and issue e-mail alerts that keep our members informed and ensure the voice of Studio City residents are heard at City Hall.
THERE ARE TWO WAYS TO JOIN THE SCRA: 1) Visit our website at
and pay by credit card. 2) You can pay by credit card, or mail your membership check today in the enclosed self addressed, pre-paid envelope. Dues are at the reasonable rate of $25/household annually and $10 for seniors. (Larger contributions are always
welcome.)
It goes without saying that there is strength in numbers so why not join our other 1,560 households as members. Numbers really do count.
Please join the SCRA. Participate in our community. Our goal is not only to maintain but to
improve our quality of life. We hope you will help us make that happen.
Thank you,
Alan Dymond
President, Studio City Residents

A Message from our President Alan Dymond
Studio City Residents Association (SCRA) in conjunction with its’ sister organizations, Golf & Tennis and Beautification, has built an extensive record of accomplishments. SCRA with over 1800 member households, is one of Los Angeles’ premier volunteer groups representing all of Studio City.
SCRA follows a balanced approach to land use development that has helped stimulate the economic vitality of Studio City, while maintaining the character and integrity of the community. We have also helped in limiting neighborhood projects. The SCRA, with the Chamber of Commerce, started the highly successful Studio City Farmers Market. We have helped the appearance and air quality of Ventura Boulevard by planting street trees. In addition, SCRA has built several traffic islands under the Beautification Association founded by SCRA. We continue to be responsible for the landscaping and maintenance of the large traffic island at Radford and Ventura Boulevards.
Over the years, the SCRA has gone beyond traditional homeowner group concerns to address crime and safety challenges, assisted in informing residents about crime issues through meetings with our Police representative and helped in forming local Neighborhood Watch Groups.
Our community continues to grow and change and we will continue to watch over Studio City.
