Reserve your spot and let’s “Flamingle!”

Join us from 6–9 p.m. on Saturday, May 20 for our Second Annual Flamingle

This year we have a little twist – in the spirit of May being Kentucky Derby month! Enjoy a cocktail or two, throw on your craziest hat, and get to know some of your Westgate neighbors! Subs and sides will be provided by WG Grinders. This event is BYOB and is being hosted by the Corson’s at 3012 Freemont St.
 
The guest list is limited to the first 50 individuals who sign up.
Registration is required, and a $5 minimum donation to WNA reserves your spot. (A greater donation gets our sincere gratitude – with more to give to our non-profit recipient!) All proceeds received will be donated to Colony Cats. To learn more about Colony Cats and their mission please visit their website: https://www.colonycats.org/
 
This event is weather-permitting and will be rescheduled for another date if the weather is not in our favor.

Help us create a signature Westgate cocktail that will be served at our Westgate Home and Garden Tour after party. If you are interested in entering the contest for best cocktail, bring your concoction to the event (enough for 65 attendees to taste). Glasses will be provided. Attendees at this event will decide who has the winning cocktail! Bonus points will be given for cocktails that are green or pink.

Let us know if you will be entering our cocktail contest, we’ll be accepting the first 7 notifications:

Westgate Neighborhood Scholarship

FOR SCHOOL YEAR 2023-2024

Applications accepted in March

The Westgate Neighbors Association Scholarship was established in 2015 as an extension of our mission to “help our community thrive”. The $1000 postsecondary education scholarship is funded by a portion of the proceeds from the Westgate Home & Garden Tour. It is awarded annually to a qualified resident of Westgate who contributes to the betterment of their community through their demonstrated service and leadership. While GPA and course selection are considered, the committee is focused more on the candidates’ involvement with their communities.
