The two neighborhoods represent the former Roosevelt & Memorial school neighborhoods. These two West Framingham neighborhoods have traditionally been geographically defined as the area in Framingham from the Ashland border at the Boston and Albany Railroad line along the tracks behind Waverly Street to the rail spur at Cedar Street onto Claflin Street and turning south onto Hollis Street continuing along its right side to Waushakum Lake behind Nipmuc Road across the Lake to the Ashland border near Daisley Place following it across back to the starting point.

Membership in the Association, which was created in 2019, is $5 per person annually. The Association waived dues in 2020 and 2021 due to the pandemic.

Membership in the Association shall be open to any individual, family, business or organization, that (a) subscribes to the purposes of the Association and (b) owns or leases property, or operates a business or organization in Framingham within a quarter of a mile of the neighborhoods for which the Association was incorporated.
