Welcome:
The Waterway Neighborhood is a place known for its scenic waterway, excellent parks, and
leafy residential streets. The waterway neighborhood is a great place to live
and work, and has much to offer its residents and visitors. The Waterway
Neighborhood Association (WNA) was created in order to address the needs and
concerns of its residents. The association is made up of volunteers that donate
their time and money to the cause of improving our little corner of the world.
A Story,
In ancient
times, so the story goes, a king had a huge boulder placed on an often traveled
road. He then hid and watched to see if anyone would take the time and effort to
remove it.
The
biggest merchants in the kingdom traveled the road, came to the boulder, and
simply went around it. Many criticized the king for not keeping the roads clear,
but none made any attempt to move the boulder out of the way.
Eventually, a farmer came along carrying a load of vegetables on his back. When
he came to the boulder, he laid down his load and began trying to move it to the
side of the road.
After much
pushing and straining, he finally succeeded. Pausing for a moment to catch his
breath, he was about to continue his journey when something caught his eye. It
was in the sunken area where the boulder had been. Bending down for a closer
look, he discovered a purse. Inside was a note from the king saying that whoever
moved the boulder from the road could have the gold coins that were in the
purse.

Our Neighborhood, Our Home, Our Civic Responsibility
Our neighborhood is our home, and like our homes we are responsible for
our neighborhood. The government will only do so much, it cannot be expected to
attend to our specific needs any more than you can expect your neighbor to pay
your taxes. We must make our own way. We must attend to the specific
business of our specific area. In doing so, we will reap the benefits of our
collective labor and make the Waterway Neighborhood a better place for all.
