WEN LOOKING FOR BLOCK CAPTAINS!

       Block Captains would help with surveys, distribution of the WEN newsletter, and would be the liaison for their block with the Association.  We need as many volunteers as are willing to help!  So, step up and take part in our efforts to improve the West End.

Remember, “Many hands make light work.”

Thanks for Your Support,

Rick Hoffman, WENCA Pres.
