A holiday is christened!
The W♥W group decides to christen a new holiday to celebrate West Manchester! They set the date for the inaugural West Manchester Day as “The First Saturday of September”.
Volunteers Spread the Word
Once the holiday was created, individuals throughout West Manchester took the initiative to independently form this website, a facebook event page, fliers were handed out, and people started volunteering to make the day special by adding their interested to the event, including games, cleanups, and more!
The Inaugural West Manchester Day is a success!
Approximately 40+ people came out specifically for West Manchester Day, including many We Heart West volunteers as well as the Mayor and Mayoral Candidates! Another 40+ were there anyways to enjoy Rock Rimmon and the facilities in the park and were pleasantly surprised to find games, balloons, lemonade, ice-cream, and more that the community brought together to celebrate West Manchester!
2nd West Manchester Day an even bigger success!
