Spring in Westport!

Hello Westport Neighbors!

Everyone is busy with the arrival of spring and the new board is no exception. Please allow me to introduce our new board members:

Jennifer Baker, President
Shannon Avason Bare, Vice President
Susan Dolan, Secretary
Victoria Carte, Treasurer
Jennifer Foster, Membership Director
Elizabeth Barber, Marketing Director
Emily Gentry, Technology Director

We have met and are putting some things together over the next few weeks. These are some of the activities you can expect to get more information:

Revising our 2012 bylaws to expand the board to include marketing, technology, and communications director roles to serve you better.
Updating our virtual platforms and communication channels, including our directory of members, newsletter, social media accounts, and our website.
Restarting community activities, including food truck events, the parade, and bi-annual meetings with community dinners. We also look forward to adding some new activities.
Resuming the greeter program, welcoming new neighbors to Westport.

In addition to hosting Westport Community Association events, we would like to support events and causes that are important to our members. In this mindset, we would like to announce these upcoming events:

First, we are bringing back the Second Sunday Food Truck Event! The first one will be on June 9th. Dumpling Girls and JK Cones will be on tap for eats & sweets. Music will be provided by Justin Mintun. There will be some games and activities for small children. We hope that you will make plans to come out with your neighbors for this kick off to summer!
Second, our community has been a consistent supporter of our armed services. Memorial Day weekend is approaching in May, honoring those who never made it home. The Wreaths Across America organization places wreaths on those military members who were killed in action. Locally, the Vesuvius Furnace Chapter of the DAR supports this effort and meets here in Westport. Please see the article below and consider donating to this noble project.
Third, all three Westport churches are hosting special activities for Mother’s Day on May 12th – St. Peter by-the-Lake Episcopal Church, Fairfield Methodist Church, and Westport Baptist Church.

We welcome your feedback and look forward to hearing from you. If you would like to volunteer or have questions, please contact me at jennifer-baker@charter.net.

Thank you!

Jennifer Baker, WCA President
