This Old House: Westview

October 19, 2018

We’ve waited out the summer heat and now we’re going to do a 2 for 1 with our 3rd quarter “This Old House: Westview” project! We’ll be clearing overgrowth for Ms. Nina as well as cleaning up Westview’s own Stokes Park. Ms. Nina is a neighbor who has struggled to get the overgrowth in her back yard under control. She recently had to dig deep to pay for the removal of a huge dying tree and could use some help getting the rest of the back yard clear she and her grand kids can start next spring with a clean slate in their back yard. Meanwhile, Stokes Park needs some general grounds and tree maintenance.

We need volunteers to do the work as well as provide drinks, snacks, and lunch! Please bring work gloves and drinking water. You can also bring your favorite trimmers, loppers, rakes, or other yard tools!

This Old House: Westview is a quarterly event organized by the Westview Community Organization to assist senior neighbors with needed maintenance, repairs, and improvements to their homes and yards.

National Night Out now involves over 37 million people and 15,000 communities from all fifty states, U.S. Territories, Canadian cities, and military bases worldwide.

ABOUT NNO

Block Captain Meet-Up and Community Design Session

January 30, 2018

The Westview Community Organization (WCO) is looking to make sure that we can respond to the needs of everyone in the community. We recognize that our community is a diverse group, and not everyone uses facebook or email on a regular basis, so we are looking for ‘block captains,’ or point people who have direct connections to their neighbors. Block Captains would be able to let the WCO know about concerns from residents on their block, and the WCO would ask Block Captains to reach out to neighbors with information about key neighborhood events such as community forums or presentations on housing stability.

In order to make this happen, we need *YOU*. The WCO invites you to D Cafe to meet others interested in being a block captain, and discuss ways to foster greater community engagement. We want to ensure that the WCO is responsive to your needs. Please help us do so!
