This Week in Westville is your go-to source for news, events, activities and goings-on in the Westville community. Like NPR and other user-supported media, much of our operations rely on the support of our "local listeners" - you, the reader. In order for the Westville Village Renaissance Alliance to continue providing this valuable community service, we ask you to donate or join WVRA as a Village Person today! Beyond the e-news, WVRA is working every day to make Westville a brighter, safer, more vibrant place to be. To learn more about our Main Street program initiatives, from community and cultural activities, economic revitalization, traffic-calming, historic preservation, and other quality of life efforts, click HERE.

AFTERSCHOOL ART WITH MUFFY!
Register your child today for the after school or late afternoon ART class that the neighborhood kids LOVE. Muffy's ART classes are full of variety, listening to music albums or books, dancing around, always share ideas and strengthen friendships.
For the classes that occur after school on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, Muffy will pick up your child at Edgewood School, walk them home (in EVERY kind of weather), share a snack and then create until they are picked up! For Late Weds class, transportation both ways is up to the family. Non-Edgewood school kids can meet the class at my house at approx 3:20.
For details, such as address and payment options, email Muffy at

WESTVILLE NEIGHBORS NEED YOU HELP!
On July 5th there was a house fire in a rental property at 308 Alden Ave. (on the corner of Alden Ave. and Willard St.).
Fortunately, no one was hurt. Unfortunately, there was significant smoke and water damage and all four apartments are uninhabitable for at least a year. The six people who lived in the property have all experienced loss - loss of possessions, income and of home. Only one rental property had renters insurance so the tenants are working to replace their belongings.
We're looking to the generous community-centered people of Westville (and beyond) to pitch in to help our neighbors.
CLICK HERE to donate and learn more about the tenants.
