Register Wells Branch!
by Debby Thompson, WBNA President
Okay folks, it’s an election year and we need to get people registered – ALL our Wells Branch people registered. In order to accomplish this, we need volunteers. It only takes an hour of your time to get certified and you can be as involved (or uninvolved) as you like. This enables you to be a source to new neighbors, at events, church, and social groups. It’s a great service for all you realtors out there – offer to register clients at their new address when you close on their homes. If you plan on volunteering for a campaign, it’s a benefit you can offer when block walking or at campaign events. Neighborhood Watch Block Captains, start now! Make it a routine. New neighbors? Ask & offer to register.
WBNA Needs YOU!!!
by Debby Thompson, WBNA President

This time each year, we ask you to support your neighborhood association by renewing your WBNA membership. Household membership is only $20.

Cultural Diversity Day Anyone?
In January, the Wells Branch MUD asked for ideas for different services they could offer residents. A Cultural Diversity Day was suggested, as our community represents many diverse backgrounds. This type of event would be a great opportunity to learn about and explore cultural nuances with our neighbors. Each of you are invited to share your proud heritages and unique backgrounds.
If you would like to help define and shape this event, please email community@wbna.us. Note your name, contact information, heritage you’d like to represent, and preference for meeting times. We’ll contact you with meeting information. Remember, we can’t do it without YOU! Help create a Wells Branch TRADITION!
