Reiche Community Room
September Activities Calendar
Back to School & Back to Fun!
The West End Neighborhood Association (WENA) is one of the most active neighborhood associations in Portland. It takes a lot of volunteers to pull together our September events and activities, but seeing people having fun or creating a cleaner, safer, and more resilient community is worth it… for all of us.
We couldn’t do it without the support of the Portland Parks, Recreation, and Facilities Department and the help of The West End News in getting the word out. You can always visit wenamaine.org, e-mail hello@wenamaine.org or check out the bulletin board on the Clark Street side of the Reiche Community Center for more details. Here’s what’s on tap for September activities:
