Bringing Neighbors Together to Build Community
Dear Friends and Neighbors,

Save the dates for these two WeCAN events coming to the neighborhood this November. We are excited to announce its very first WeCAN Social Hour! Please join us on Wednesday, November 29, 6:30pm at Barfly, 4255 W. Colfax Ave. This will be a quarterly event at Barfly; come out to meet a few new neighbors and help WeCAN stuff our New Resident Welcome Packets.
 
              
 

And save the date for the WeCAN Fundraiser at Alamo Drafthouse in November! The new Justice League team movie, You Can't Save the World Alone,  is being released next month, and one night of tickets sales will be donated to WeCAN!
 
          

Come out to support West Colfax Association of Neighbors - WeCAN - at next month's Social Hour and Fundraiser! Look for more information on both of these events in your inbox soon.
