The Community Benefit of Our Neighborhood Association
![]() Wilkes East neighbors Robyn and Eric El Kay |
By: Robyn El Kay Hello, neighbors! My name is Robyn, and my family moved into the neighborhood in Spring 2023. In the Wilkes East Neighborhood Association, our motto is "Diversity, Harmony, Community - Together WE Can Make a Difference!” |
One of the great things about having a neighborhood association is knowing that there is a group of people advocating for you, your home, and your local community right where you live. Our neighborhood association (WENA) is no exception. This group of dedicated individuals meets every month to discuss upcoming and pertinent matters affecting our neighborhood - you may be surprised to know some of the impact this group has had!
Since moving into the Wilkes East neighborhood, this committed group has:
- Worked to get our beloved Nadaka Park otter, “Slider” back after it was stolen in 2024.
- Ensured that we (your neighbors) are up to date on how land is being used around our area.Take for example, the new Habitat for Humanity project happening near 176th and Glisan.
- Submitted grant proposals to ensure we are able to continue supporting our community.
- Brought awareness to matters affecting our neighborhood, such as the removal of our elder Douglas Firs.
And perhaps most significantly, our WENA has hosted neighborhood clean-ups allowing all of us to dispose of our unsightly and often hidden rubbish from behind our homes and beside our garages free of charge! Be sure to mark your calendars for this year's clean-up - and get your rubbish ready!
WENA is a group of your neighbors that cares deeply about the overall wellness of our community. My family and I have seen that firsthand. Since the day we moved into the neighborhood, we have been welcomed by warmth, kindness, and generosity - even through my pregnancy, and the welcoming of our first child, August. If you see us, please say hi!
As the neighborhood continues to grow and change, this group will also continue to evolve. We want to make sure you know that WENA is here for all of us. We hope that each of you will learn more about your neighborhood association, and consider contributing your voice and expertise. It’s vital that our neighborhood association continues to thrive. Come join us. Share your ideas.
Visit our website any time at wilkeseastna.org or reach out to us at info@wilkeseastna.org - we look forward to seeing you around!
