Review for Westbury Area Improvement Corp, Houston, TX, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I have been a Board member of Westbury Area Improvement Corporation (WAIC) for two years and serve as a representative of Westbury Little League and also on the Friends of Westbury Greenspaces Committee. WAIC is a non-profit all volunteer organization that serves as a vehicle to get input from the local residents and businesses on what is happening and what can be done to improve our community. WAIC helps provide the knowledge, connections, and infrastructure needed to make community improvement projects successful. For example, it has been of great assistance to me in increasing awareness of all the good things going on with families at Westbury Little League and promoting a capital fund raising campaign to upgrade the facilities at the ballpark. Additionally, our Friends of Westbury Greenspaces Committee has just completed fundraising for a new playground at Westbury Park and the staging of a grand opening once construction was done. Since WAIC is a 501(c) (3) the fundraising was facilitated through this organization and the Houston Parks Board. WAIC volunteers provided ideas, guidance, and effort to make this a successful project. WAIC is a valuable asset for our community and I thank the founders and members who work to make Westbury a better place.
