Jayne Byrnes posted up several fliers around our neigborhood advertising a gathering of neighbors.  At the first meeting Jan. 10, 2007 18 people cautiously supported the idea of a neighborhood association.  A paper survey summarized these priorities:

1.      Clean up Little Ditch

2.      Neighborhood garage sale and clean-up day

3.      Forum for city council candidates

4.      Block parties

5.      Skateboard park

At the second meeting Feb 13, 28 folks heard guests from neighbor-hood associations describe how their neighborhood associations work, meet and play. 

At the third meeting March 13, many of the 37 folks who signed in said what they wanted from WNA was to improve the quality of life. Other replies included: 

·         Improvements to streets & parks

·         Holiday events with decorations

·         Safety including Neighborhood Watch

·         Recycling; sharing resources and equipment

·         Get to know neighbors and to identify neighbors who need care during storms or emergencies

·         Clean up "Little Ditch"

·         Neighborhood garage sale and Clean up day

·         Voice at City Hall and District Advisory Board

It was after this meeting we formalized the WNA, where we are currently working on finalizing By-Laws and other kickoff activities.
