| Neighborhood Cleanup Thank you!You may have noticed our Whitneyville commercial area looking especially nice recently. The reason? A group of civic-minded seventh graders organized by Whitneyville resident, Gigi, who spent their precious Saturday cleaning up litter in our neighborhood. WCA was happy to sponsor their efforts. They’re setting a great example of civic engagement for all of us! |
