SWHRL is looking for new members and volunteers!
SWHRL is YOUR neighborhood association, helping with your transportation and land use questions, planning emergency response, standing up for neighborhood concerns, bringing in speakers to inform you on current issues, and more. But we can’t do it with just a few active members. We need your ideas, talents, and willingness to lend a hand.
Do you have neighborhood photographs to share? Writing or web design skills? Do you like to organize events? Or maybe you just want to come to our meetings to share ideas. All we’re asking is for a couple of hours a month. It’s a small price for a more connected, informed, and meaningful neighborhood association.
If your interested in volunteering in some capacity or just joining as a member, send an email with your name and address to outreach@swhrl.org. All who reside or work in the SWHRL neighborhood are welcome to join.
