WANA

History

The Whitland Area Neighborhood Association (WANA) is a volunteer-led 501(c)3 organization devoted to maintaining the sense of community and quality of life we enjoy in our neighborhood. WANA sponsors social events and other community-building activities throughout the year, as well as advocates on behalf of the neighborhood to address issues such as crime prevention, traffic calming, and zoning.


According to the by-laws, the neighborhood association's boundaries are West End Avenue (on the North), Brighton Road (on the South), Bowling Avenue (on the East), and Wilson Blvd So. (on the West), although the entire length of Whitland shall also be considered to fall within the boundaries. In August 2007, a portion of the Whitland Area Neighborhood was listed in the National Register of Historic Places.

The association was formed in 1980 under the leadership of the late John Walker. Over the years, WANA has supported the Neighborhood Watch Crime Prevention program, historic marker program, beautification and flood prevention of Kingfisher Branch Creek, and development/maintenance of the Mary Catherine Strobel Park. Our association also provides a Google Group (listserv), a newsletter and our website to connect and provide information to our members.
