Dear Neighbors:

This past Thursday, the WNA held their November meeting via Zoom. Below are some of the highlights, as per Stan Veuger.

The Halloween party in October was a huge success. To follow up, there will be a tree decorating party on December 8th at 3:30 pm.

Additionally, there will be two new trees planted on the northern side of the playground in the near future.

This past Thursday also held elections for WNA officers. Congratulations to Lynn Johnson (President), Donya Timofeyev (Vice President), Dan Freeman (Treasurer), and Stan Veuger (Secretary)!!

During this week’s past meeting, we received updates on transportation, public safety, and zoning issues from Dan Freeman, Frank Chauvin, and Karen Gaal.

Thank you to everyone who attended! The next meeting will be on December 12th at 8:00 pm on the new Zoom link.

Dear neighbors:

The WNA held its October 2024 meeting last night on October 10th, via Zoom.

We were joined by At-Large Councilmember Robert White, who spoke about his background and legislative record. He also took a number of questions from attendees, focused mainly on public safety issues.

Among other things, the Councilmember expressed support for the creation of a U Street Business Improvement District, if the neighborhood sees a BID as desirable, and expressed his frustration about the lack of enforcement of the drug-free zone around Cleveland Elementary.

In other business, fall cleanup will take place 9am-12pm on October 19th; it will be a joint operation with the French Street Neighborhood Association. We will have a dumpster, hazardous waste disposal, and paint to put numbers on trash cans.

See you on November 10 at 8pm for our next meeting, and please send any and all donations to the Association to @wnadues on Venmo.
