Westside Fall Social Recap

The Westside Association hosted our Fall Social on Monday, November 18th. Over 75 members and guests enjoyed great food, drinks and socialization on a picture-perfect autumn night at Mickel Park. Thank you to Ozzie Bradley and Mark Thomas for assisting with setup and serving drinks and to Marc Martorana for making some delicious brownies. The Board is already looking forward to planning our next social, stay tuned!

October Quarterly Membership Meeting Recap

On October 23rd, we held our Quarterly Meeting of the Association Membership at Hagan Park Community Center. Thank you to everyone who attended the meeting. Assistant Chief of Police Darren Brodsky provided crime statistics updates and Code Compliance Supervisor Abel Alberro spoke about Airbnb licensing and Code Compliance processes. Wilton Manors City Commissioner Chris Caputo addressed the Association membership, providing an opportunity for residents to learn more about his vision for his next term, which includes attracting businesses to Andrews Avenue, updating infrastructure throughout the City and approaching the annual budgeting process with careful thought.

Westside Neighborhood Banners - They're All Up!

Following April’s installation of 8 initial banners throughout the Westside and the outpouring of support, 7 additional banners were installed across the neighborhood in early July.

Thank you to all of our Westside Banner sponsors:

• Chris Boylan

• Luis Cancho-Diez Schreiber

• Commissioner Chris Caputo

• Julie Carson/Robin Gross

• José Cedeño

• Michael DiGuiseppe/Jack Herrmann

• Larry Farver/Daniel Vacca

• John Foulk

• William Hayden/Ron Perkov

• Emily McCrater

• Mark McKenzie

• Evan Smith

• Stegar Thompson

• Eileen and Mark Yodanis

We have created a map (see below) that shows the locations of all of the banners. We placed the banners at high traffic intersections where residents and visitors typically come in, out, or through the Westside. We also ensured that banners would be placed on other Westside residential streets and at neighborhood entrances with less traffic volume to show our neighborhood pride!

A few of the installed banners remain unsponsored. If you are interested in sponsoring to help offset the cost of materials and installation, please send an email to wawm.org@gmail.com or reach out to any Board member who will gladly assist.
