WEA activities during 2013 included:

The WEA meets on the 2nd Tuesday of each month at the Central YMCA to discuss neighborhood issues and to conduct Association business. We often have presentations from guests with topics of interest to the neighborhood. The WEA is one of the oldest neighborhood associations in North Carolina. It was founded originally in the late 1960s to prevent a highway from being routed through Hanes Park.
