WEIGENT-HOGAN NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION

WHNA
ATTENTION AGAIN!
Please follow the directions below to attend our September General meeting via ZOOM!  We are anxious to see you all again and to start addressing the neighborhood issues again. 

Virtual WHNA meeting with Police Chief Kudron:  Monday September 14th at 6:30 PM

 

  Do you have questions about policing in LaCrosse?   Weigent Hogan Neighborhood Association will host a ZOOM meeting with Police Chief Kudron, Monday September 14 at 6:30pm.  We all have questions about how to help make our community as safe as possible while making sure that root causes of crime are addressed.  Join your neighbors and reserve your spot on the ZOOM call by emailing Greg Clark at  Clarkg826@gmail.com

If this is a success, we will try to have the Chief Inspector for the city in October and the new School District Superintendent in November!  Stay tuned!
 

Memorial Garden
 
Many of you may have noticed the planting happening at the traffic circle on Madison and 17th Street.  The origin of this neighborhood garden project is to provide an enduring tribute to Anthony Fimple, our 19-year-old neighbor who was a victim of a terrible homicide in June 2020. The garden will be visible to his surviving family from their front door. Neighbors working on the project intend to include a simple, small carved memorial stone in the garden.
 
The garden has been designed utilizing plants that are native to our area, are low maintenance and no taller than 30” per city policy.
 
If you would like to donate to the project you can send your donation to Jan Gallegher at 1715 Madison Street, La Crosse WI  54601.
2021 WHNA election postponed
 
Covid 19 has required our neighborhood association to make many changes.  We are no longer able to meet face-to-face, so plans for our general meetings were put on hold and our board meetings are now virtual.  In September we plan to start a series of zoom meetings each month with speakers we planned to have at this year’s meetings .  Unfortunately, our planned January election of association officers has been postponed.  Recruiting members for board officers at this time is almost impossible and we currently do not have a way to vote online. So…the current board officers and members at large have agreed to serve an additional year and have their terms end in 2022 for officers and 2023 for members at large.  We believe this will provide stability for the association and we look forward to being able to meet in person in 2021 to recruit new folks to run for the board.
