NEW TO THE VALLEY?
Did you receive a Welcome Basket?
New residents are welcomed with a basket containing valuable information about our community, including a community guide and a jar of honey from The Escondido Creek Conservancy (TECC).

We also encourage all residents to attend community meetings to meet neighbors, learn about important community issues, and become involved in the community. Meetings are held regularly at the Elfin Forest Fire House, located at 20223 Elfin Forest Road. Please watch for community e-alerts and messages from your block captain for meeting dates and updates.
Ways to Get Involved
Elfin Forest has always been strengthened by neighbors who volunteer their time, share their talents, and participate in community activities. There are many ways to help preserve the rural character and close-knit spirit of our valley.
Join a Town Council Committee.
Committees provide opportunities to contribute your ideas, skills, and time to issues that matter to the community.
Consider running for election to the Town Council Board.
Each February, the community's voting residents elect new Directors to the Board. These nine volunteers dedicate significant time and effort to helping maintain and enhance our vibrant valley and unique community. If you are interested in running for election, please notify a current Board member by December so your name can be considered for inclusion on the election slate.
Help with community clean-ups.
Volunteer efforts help keep our roadsides, trails, and shared spaces beautiful and welcoming.
Pitch in at community events.
Many of Elfin Forest's traditions and celebrations rely on neighbors working together.
Help maintain the Fire Wise Garden.
The Fire Wise Garden next to the Fire Station is maintained entirely by volunteers and requires periodic care. If you have gardening experience and would like to help, please contact us at efhgtc@gmail.com.
Connect with your block captain.
Make sure your block captain has your current contact information so you can receive important community updates and emergency notifications. Email mickeykc@juno.com to add or update your contact information.
WELCOME!
PARTICIPATE:
Make Your Voice Heard
Periodically, residents are asked to weigh in on issues that are important to our community. When you receive an e-alert encouraging you to contact County officials, write to County Commissioners or Supervisors, or attend a public hearing in support of the Town Council's position, please consider taking action.
Community involvement is essential to preserving the unique character of Elfin Forest. Every resident's voice helps ensure that local concerns and priorities are heard.
You can also participate in the civic life of the community by attending a Town Council meeting. Meetings are generally held on the first Wednesday of each month at 6:30 p.m. at the Fire House. Please check current community announcements for meeting dates and any schedule changes.
