Abstract: The collection documents the administrative and community activities of the Cedar Creek Civic Association which formed in the 1960s with the formation of the Cedar Creek subdivision in Athens, Georgia. Over the years, the Cedar Creek Civic Association has been involved with community issues including water taxes, traffic studies, and re-zoning. This collection also includes the records of the Cedar Creek Garden Club
The Cedar Creek Civic Association was established in the early 1960s soon after the Cedar Creek Neighborhood was built in Athens, Georgia. Over time, 652 homes were built in the neighborhood attracting diverse populations from different professions. The Cedar Creek Civic Association has been involved with a number of activities including the production of a newsletter and neighborhood directory. The Cedar Creek Civic Association has also been involved with maintaining a neighborhood watch and ensuring that laws and regulations of Clarke County are enforced as well as advocating for community issues including water tax regulations and re-zoning around Athens-Clarke County.
The collection is comprised of records created by the Cedar Creek Civic Association from 1967 through 2012. The records in this collection document the activities of the Cedar Creek Civic Association in their involvement with local issues around Athens-Clarke County, administrative files, and copies of the Association's membership directory and monthly newsletters. Also documented in this collection are the records and scrapbooks kept by the Cedar Creek Garden Club.
This collection is arranged into five series: Series I. Issues and Legislation, Series II. Board of Directors, Series III. Garden Club, Series IV. Directories and Newsletters, and Series V. Financial Files.
