Ready, set, weed! Spring is right around the corner and we'd like to clean up this site preparing it for another great year. Volunteers will help weed garden beds and pathways, turn compost bins, and pick up litter around the garden.
Take a step back into history by volunteering at the Zimmermann House. This 1874 farmhouse is a perfect reflection of typical Columbia River dairy farm life in the late 1800s. Volunteers are needed to weed and prune in the garden, which will contribute to the historical site overall beauty.

Neighborhood association bylaws are important because they define how the association operates, including decision-making processes, board governance, and member rights.
Understanding these bylaws helps ensure accountability, transparency, and effective communication within the community.
BYLAWS…

Ensure Transparency
As a member of WENA, you have the right to review the bylaws, comment on them, and vote on their adoption.. We will vote to adopt the bylaws at our November public meeting.
