Rockaway Point Association - Breezy Point About Us

What is the Rockaway Point Association?

The Breezy Point Cooperative is comprised of three areas: Roxbury, Rockaway Point and Breezy Point. Each community has their own civic association. All stockholders must be members of an Association.

The Rockaway Point Association represents the shareholders of all homes from the main gate west to Ocean Avenue, more than 1100 homes.

The Rockaway Point Association (RPA) is a community group comprised of shareholders whose goal is to ensure the safety, beautification and quality of life in our community. The RPA acts as a liaison between the Breezy Point Coop and the Rockaway Point community. The Association also represents the membership in dealing with our neighboring civic associations, the Cooperative, and other agencies. Afterall, many voices are better than one.

Who runs the Rockaway Point Association?

The officers and board members of the Association are Rockaway Point shareholders elected by you. They give their time voluntarily for the betterment of our entire community. They meet on a regular basis during the year. Elections are held at the last general meeting of the summer (August 25, 2008).

How do you participate in the Association?

The RPA holds seven general meetings a year and you are encouraged to attend. These meetings provide a great opportunity to meet your neighbors, keep informed and up-to-date on community issues, express your opinions and share your thoughts and ideas. Occasionally guest speakers, local politicians and Cooperative representatives are invited to discuss local issues. For a list of upcoming meetings, click here.

What are the annual dues and what are they used for?

The RPA is funded from dues received form the Rockaway Point Shareholders. Our current dues are $30 per year. The dues are used to pay for Association operating costs such as meetings, insurance, and mailings. Invoices are mailed to all members at the beginning of each year. This is an annual charge and should not be confused with your monthly cooperative assessment.

The following is a partial list of some of our services funded by you:

Investigate and approve all applications for summer rental or purchase of homes in Rockaway Point
