Neighborhood Events
Neighborhood activities
are held throughout the year, helping residents to build relationships and promoting community cohesion. All residents are invited to attend our events.
Communication tools include this website, the West Plaza Watch
on Facebook, which was created in 2011 for the purpose of alerting participants to safety issues and as a central posting location for lost and found pets. It now has more than 1,000 active members. We also administer the West Plaza Neighborhood Association-Discussion Group
on Facebook for conversation about more general topics of interest to participants. We use our Members and Friends of the West Plaza Mail Chimp list
to announce meetings, activities, and safety alerts. Members of the WPNA receive a personal phone reminder about upcoming meetings and events.
Our bi-monthly WPNA newsletter is written by members of the Board of Directors, edited professionally by a former Board member, printed at no charge by a neighborhood printer, and hand delivered to all 1,100 residences in the West Plaza by more than a dozen volunteers.
Among the many “invisible” activities that the WPNA engages in is attending hearings and meetings with city officials
about topics that have an impact on our neighborhood.
Other invisible activities include ongoing maintenance of the finances, correspondence, communication, and membership records
that any organization of our type must do.
Our seven volunteer board members meet once every month
to plan and manage our various activities. We are an active board, happily lending our time and energy for the benefit of residents of our beautiful neighborhood.
2024 Officers and Board of Directors
