About HKCC
What is
the HKCC?
The Hollywood Knolls Community Club is a
not-for-profit corporation, which began in 1939 as a garden club
and social organization for residents of the Hollywood Knolls. It is the oldest hillside residents' association in Los Angeles.
Over the years,
the Club has grown to include Lakeridge Estates (1959) and the Hollywood
Manor (see map below).
The HKCC now represents approximately 750 households.

What
does the HKCC do?
The Club's mission has broadened considerably over
the years. Our concerns now include traffic, noise, graffiti,
development and other issues, which threaten the security, value and
comfort of our homes and the overall quality of life in our
neighborhood.
 |
Advocacy
Over the years, the Club has worked hard to insure that the lands
adjacent to our neighborhoods are developed and used in ways that
minimize their impact on us. This means we are continually
involved in discussions and negotiations with developers, corporate
neighbors and government neighbors.
The Club works with the elected Council member and council staff,
along with other departments of city, county and state government to
help us in these negotiations.
For more information, please see our Local
Issues page. |
|
Security
To help protect our area from the unfortunate increase in crime and
vandalism infecting the city, the Club formed its own security
patrol. The Club has contracted with Atlas Security to provide
the most extensive coverage available in our neighborhood at a very
reasonable cost.
For more information, please see our Security
page. |
|
Communication
Communication is an important Club function.
 |
The HKCC News
is produced by a neighborhood volunteer and distributed to the
entire community periodically throughout the year.
Occasionally, a special urgent bulletin is sent out to keep the
community informed about urgent issues, special meetings, etc...
Most of our modest budget each year goes to cover the costs of
printing and mailing. |
|
The Hollywood
Knolls Website is published and updated by a neighborhood
volunteer. |
|
Informational
Meetings on key issues are sponsored by the Club as the need arises. |
|
|
Social
The Club is more than just business.
|
Social Events
We hold a variety of social events, including our traditional
New Neighbor Brunch and Holiday Caroling among other
get-togethers. |
|
Our Neighborhood
is Kid Friendly
Our parents' committee supports our local Elementary School,
Valley View, organizes activities and has established a
Parents/Kids Network.
For more information, please see our For
Kids page. |

How is
the HKCC Governed?
The Club's by-laws
provide for governance by a 17-member Board of Directors that is
elected by dues-paying members in good-standing at the Annual Membership
Meeting, which is held in the Fall.
HKCC officers and
committee chairs are elected by the Board, which meets at 7:30 p.m.
on the second Wednesday of each month, usually at Ramsey-Shilling Realty
at Barham and Lake Hollywood Drive. All members are invited and welcome.

HKCC Membership
If you are new to the
neighborhood ... Welcome!
As you can see in this site, HKCC membership delivers a lot of value for
a $35 investment in annual dues per household. This is incredibly cheap
when you think of the concerned people working on your behalf.
Your dues are very
important. Since postage and printing are major expense items, our
ability to communicate is directly related to the number of people who
support the work of the Club by paying their dues. So,
please help the HKCC help you.
Annual dues are $35 per
household. Additional donations are greatly appreciated. All
donations are tax deductible to the extent provided by law. Please make checks
payable to HKCC and mail today to:
Tree Lockie, HKCC Membership
Chair
3360 Barham Boulevard
Hollywood, CA 90068
Please also indicate whether
you would like information about the Hollywood Knolls Security
Patrol.
