A Way to Meet Your Neighbors!

Newsletter delivery depends upon the dedicated Block Captains who faithfully bring the monthly editions to each neighbor in Westheight. We need two Block Captains and two Alternate Block Captains to deliver newsletters for the 1800 block of Oakland and the 1800 block of New Jersey. Block Captains are a very important part of the Westheight Neighborhood Association. They (via the newsletter) keep everyone informed about events in the neighborhood.
If you are interested, please call Curt Cutting, 621-4434. So, come on, neighbors! Don't miss this chance to get out and about, get some good exercise and meet your fellow Westheight Residents.
