Annual WUHCA Area Garage Sale

May 10th, 11th and 12th

In May, we will again be sponsoring the Annual WUHCA Area Garage Sale. Last year was our first event of this nature.  A lot of residents were able to take advantage of the advertising and clear out some of their unwanted items. I am certain that 2012 will see another great response, so start cleaning out those closets now!  Keep an eye out for more information on this event as we get closer to that date.

The WUHCA Fun Day in the Park has been postponed until late summer/early fall.   More information will be available as we get closer to the date.

Numbers of participants/teams will depend on the number of coaches and assistant coaches that are available.
