Founding leadership of the Woodstock Civic Association.

HISTORY

The Woodstock Civic Association was founded by the late James Clinton Goode. After three years of meetings held by concerned neighbors at Oak Grove Baptist Church, the Association established its first home at 2100 West Cambria Street.

From 1976 to 2001, the Woodstock Civic Association served as a hub for community advocacy and neighborhood improvement, accomplishing meaningful work in support of residents and local businesses.

Although the organization closed its doors in 2001, the mission never ended. Under the leadership of Mr. Tyrone Stukes, newly appointed President, the Woodstock Civic Association was revived as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, with renewed purpose and a focus on the future of the community.
