Westview Community Organization update from President Scott Smith:
Good day neighbors and extended members of the Westview Community.
In looking at the weather forecast, we have made the decision to cancel the January meeting. While right now the ground is dry, we are concerned with the long term forecast which expects freezing rain tomorrow afternoon and evening. Rather than have you risk your personal safety coming to the meeting, we are canceling the meeting.
The next WCO meeting will be on Monday, February 7th at 7pm. The January meeting of NPU-T will be on Wednesday, January 12th at 7pm. This is the last meeting being held at the Boys & Girls Club.
In the mean time, we do want to make sure you are aware of some upcoming events:
Sincerely,
Scott C. Smith

On Saturday, June 26th, the Westview neighborhood celebrated its 100th birthday. The Westview Centennial Celebration took place at KIPP STRIVE Academy, the new charter middle school next to the BeltLine.
The day’s activities started with a 5K sponsored by the BeltLine, followed by a ribbon cutting ceremony for the opening of the Westview portion of the BeltLine Model Mile.
The celebrations continued with music by RnB band In The Pocket, house music by DJs Ryze, Drew, and Ramon Rawsoul, puppet shows and storytelling for young and old, vendors selling organic soaps, prints and more, and some friendly rivalry between the grill-off contestants over who would win the public’s heart for their chicken and rib recipes.
Additionally, the Westview Community Organization would like to thank the following people for making the Westview Centennial Celebration happen:
