Neighborhood Highlight

For those of you who may be new to the Westside or who may not know about your local neighborhood advocacy group, this newsletter has been designed to give you periodic updates to the group's activities. OWN is organized to:
  • Inform residents of the Westside of their rights and of the impact of governmental and commercial actions upon their lives
  • Facilitate the provision of needed goods and services for the residents of the Westside.
  • Sponsor activities on the Westside which reinforce community spirit and citizen initiative.
  • Communicate to government the concerns of Westside residents and residential property owners.
OWN Board of Directors meetings and membership meetings are noticed in our Westside Story newsletter, on our web page (westsideneighbors.org) and typically in the Westside Pioneer weekly newspaper.  OWN identifies and then works through projects to make sure that the concerns of our neighbors and neighborhoods are heard by local government and planning entities.  We all are volunteers and welcome interested Westsiders to join and work with us to make our neighborhood a better place to live, work, and play.
