You’re invited: WABA Member Holiday Party!

This party is for WABA members (don’t worry, you can join at the door). WABA is a member-supported nonprofit organization and your yearly membership dues and donations fund our ongoing advocacy, education, and outreach work. We can’t do this without your financial investment. If you have friends who are not WABA members, bring them and encourage them to join at the party! And, if you’re not sure if you’re a current dues-paying member, email membership@waba.org or check a recent email from WABA—there will be a note at the bottom. Questions? Email events@waba.org or call 202-518-0524 x218.Want to volunteer to help sell WABA merchandise and keep the night running smoothly? Sign up here.

Petworth residents, ANC commissioners, and community leaders came together to help guide us in planning a community wide event in their neighborhood that will have a positive lasting impact, promote community building, and bring neighbors together.

In a matter of days, the 11 strangers who came together for WABA in the Wild became fast friends.
