Membership, e-mail member list and listserv policy
Membership is open to anyone who lives within the geographic
area represented by WUNA. Members have the option of adding their e-mail
address to the listserv (WUNA e-mail list) to receive WUNA related messages.
WUNA is a grassroots, volunteer organization. Its listserv, which is also
maintained by volunteers for the neighborhood benefit, is an excellent forum
for neighbors who wish to discuss items of interest. In no way does it reflect
the beliefs of the membership as a whole or the WUNA Steering Committee. We
welcome your involvement. Join WUNA.

attractive, and safe environment that is in walking distance of downtown,
campus and excellent schools.
