About the RCA

The Rowayton Civic Association was created in 1911, even before the formation of the Sixth Taxing District. It has been instrumental in bringing about many community improvements, among them the purchase of the beach property by the District in 1943.

The RCA exists for charitable and educational purposes, and as a forum for residents to voice their concerns about the community. Motions carried on the floor enable the Civic Association to recommend to the Commissioners or City Government a particular course of action.

There are no dues, as it is supported by contributions and fundraising events. Under the by-laws, all residents and property owners of voting age in the District are automatically members of the Association. The annual meeting of members is held each February.

The twenty members of the Executive Board, elected for four-year terms, meet monthly to coordinate activities.
