Downtown West Newton Inc. is kicking off its Annual Pledge Drive for 2013. Please keep your eye on your mail for your pledge form.
This event helps DWNI continue its efforts in helping revitalize the downtown. 2012 was a big year for the organization with its ground breaking of Simeral Square, the rehab of some key properties in the downtown area, and the reopening of the West Newton Public Library. The organization also helped in the Great PA Cleanup, numerous fundraising dinners and Miracle on Main Street. We are hoping with your help we will be able to continue helping improve the downtown area.
DWNI will be holding a spaghetti supper on March 16 from 4 - 8 p.m. at the West Newton Senior Center located on Main St. The cost is $10 for adults and $5 for children. The dinner also includes salad, dessert, bread and drinks. Tickets may be purchased by contacting our office at 724-872-0100 or on a first come, first served basis at the door. This event is sponsored by and catered by Dairyland Café & Creamery on North Water St.
DWNI is seeking individuals interested in participating in a new Farmers’ Market located downtown. We are interested in people who grow their own produce, butcher their own meat, grow their own plants, make handcrafted jewelry, handcrafted items, cut flowers, honey, herbs, baked goods, etc. We are not accepting any commercially made products or foods. We will be hosting a meeting for all those interested in participating in the Farmers’ Market on March 2 at 10 a.m. at our office, located at the corner of 2nd and Main. For more information or if you cannot attend, please call our office at 724-872-0100.
DWNI is looking for volunteers that can help us make West Newton a beautiful community. We have numerous projects in the works and are seeking individuals who are interested in: historical rehab; design; landscaping; beautification; property redevelopment; festivals; fundraising; grant writing; and everything else in between. So if you have any interests in any of these areas please give us a call.
Please remember you don't have to live in West Newton to join. We have members from numerous communities in the surrounding areas. Call 724-872-0100 for a great adventure.
