The WCA will be participating in the global movement dedicated to charitable giving known as Giving Tuesday, Nov. 28, 2023!

Thanks to your generosity, last year we raised over $3,300 on Giving Tuesday toward the restoration and painting of our porch pillars. Those funds helped support our application for and award of a $15,000 grant from the Bender Family Foundation. Together this funded the project to save and protect our 14 beautiful porch pillars for years to come!

This year you can help repair, preserve, and beautify the East porch entrance on our driveway side. In fact, several members have already generously donated funds for this purpose. Let’s join them and bring the East porch up to the historic and aesthetic beauty that we enjoy on the front porch!

Porch, Accessibility Ramp Near Completion

The long-awaited front porch project is nearly done. The accessibility ramp is complete with safety railings installed.

The next step will be to “Light Up the Ramp.” Thanks to 33 generous donors who contributed $11,865, the Club has designated funds to finish the work. The Porch Committee and architect are researching appropriate lighting fixtures.

Stay tuned for further updates about when we can “Light Up the Ramp."
