ENA Annual Meeting – Armory Nov. 30th 5:30-8:00PM

Location: 515 EASTSIDE STREET

Please plan to join us at our first, in person, Annual General Membership meeting since 2019.  We have done a good job of maintaining neighborhood activities, but we miss seeing and hearing from all of you. 

We are desperately in need of new board members and fresh ideas for improving our neighborhood and preserving those things that we value about our neighborhood.  Please consider becoming part of the board. We only meet once a month and your level of participation and what you participate in is entirely up to you.

AGENDA

  • Refreshments – Meet Your Neighbors!!
  • Welcome
  • Nomination of Board Members
  • Parks presentations on the Armory and local art installations
  • Community Solar – Opportunities to Participate & Get your questions answered!

Neighborhood Talent Show is a Great Success!

2022 Eastside Talent Show

When? Saturday October 22nd, 3pm to 5pm

Where? Salvation Army Worship Center, 1505 4th Ave E, Olympia, WA (Corner of Central)

What? Local Talent Acts

The Eastside Neighborhood Association is sponsoring a free, family-friendly variety show that will be held at the Salvation Army on the corner of Central and 4th Ave SE.

People of all ages are welcome to attend. In addition to performances, the event will include an intermission with refreshments, and a chance to get to know one another in a friendly social setting.

Our goal is to include a wide variety of performances that will appeal to people of all ages. It is not a competition, just an afternoon of entertainment. The show will include performances such as poetry, singing, guitar, story-telling and piano.

We expect it to be a fun event, and hope you bring your friends!
