The Summit Avenue Residential Preservation Association (SARPA) is dedicated to the preservation of Saint Paul's historic Summit Avenue as a residential neighborhood. SARPA was commissioned in 1986 by Mayor George Latimer and the St. Paul City Council to preserve the residential quality of Summit Avenue for future generations.

SARPA's officers include the President, Vice-President, Secretary, and Treasurer. SARPA also has a board and an active nominating committee. If you wish to contact one of the officers, please send a note to the Webmaster.

SARPA meets regularly on the second Monday of each month. SARPA also hosts an annual meeting, usually in April, at which there is a guest speaker or speakers presenting topics of interest to members and friends.

• Full membership in SARPA is open to all homesteaded taxpayers on Summit Avenue. Associate memberships are available to other residents and non-Summit residents concerned about preserving and enhancing the quality of Summit Avenue. Annual dues are collected to support the SARPA newsletter and other organizational needs. For a mailable SARPA membership form, go to Membership.
