Love the Skidmore Block Party?
We’re Looking for two new event organizers!
It’s time to pass the torch! In 2026, work with BWNA’s experienced event co-organizers to learn the ropes about the planning and execution tasks necessary to put on this rockin’ annual block party. They will be with you every step of the way; you won’t be thrown to the proverbial wolves!
To be considered for this rewarding volunteer experience, we’re asking for a minimum two-year commitment after going through “training” (2027-2028).
Please contact patricekoehler@gmail.com if you have questions or want to jump in!
Love Your Garden?
Consider signing in for the 2026 BWNA Art & Garden Tour
Beaumont-Wilshire streets are filled with interesting and beautiful gardens. If yours is one of them, being a host for next year’s Art & Garden Tour is a great way to meet other gardeners and neighbors. It’s fun!
Ticket sales help BWNA fund many free community events throughout the year.

Do You Have Ideas for Our Speakers Forum?
- Birds, bees, seeds? History or herstory? City politics? Aging in place? Downsizing? While there are a host of potential topics for our BWNA speakers forum, we’d like to hear from YOU.
- What are you interested in? Or do you have a subject you’d like to present?
- In 2025, BWNA logged talks on our neighborhood’s history, beneficial bugs, and going all-electric, and on November 13 we’re hosting a presentation on the Cascadia Subduction Zone earthquake. What’s in store for 2026?
If you have ideas for us, contact sandiefam@gmail.com.
