Hello Friends!

We've added two new programs recently, click on either of the two links below and get more information concerning the Safe House -or- WeCare programs.

Safe House Program     WeCare Program

The Barton Estates Neighborhood Association was recognized by the City of Irving in January 2001.  Our main purpose is to "maintain, protect and enhance the livability and sense of community of Barton Estates and the surrounding neighborhoods of Irving".

If you live, operate a business, or own property in Barton Estates, we invite you to become a member.  There are no dues or fees; it's all about volunteering and  helping to improve the neighborhood and city.

Barton Estates has meetings throughout the year and we sponsor a number of annual events such as neighborhood clean-ups, picnics and block parties. You can become involved on an on-going basis by volunteering as a newsletter editor, association officer, or special-topic subcommittee member. Or, come join in at a meeting or event and get to know your neighbors.

Welcome to 2005 and the start of another great year for our neighborhood. This year will bring some changes to our board roster.  Please plan to attend the February 3^rd neighborhood meeting and meet the new Board Members!  Our new Co-President, Doris Dickey, will be welcoming everyone and updating all of you on a year full of great projects and events.   Here is a sneak preview of topics!

Alphabet Children Adopted for the Holidays

Great Days of Service

Once again, area churches will sponsor the annual “Great Days of Service”.  This program is designed to help those who are in need of home repairs and are unable to make the repairs. There are many areas in which volunteers can help. If you would like to volunteer time, supplies, services or money, please contact 

 Karen Harmon at 972-790-7856. Thank you.
