Upcoming
events
&
meetings
2022 Update: meetings are held via ZOOM and in person.
The Wells Park Neighborhood Association meets the 2nd Tuesday of each month (except July and December) at 6:00 pm. Due to construction at the Johnny Tapia Community Center, meetings will be held at Friends Meeting House (1600 5th St NW 87102) located at the corner of 5th and Bellamah until further notice.
The Annual Meeting is held on the last Tuesday of March (5:30pm-7:30pm), when we elect new board members. Pursuant to the updated City of Albuquerque Neighborhood Association Recognition Ordinance (NARO), WPNA can no longer require payment of dues to become a voting member of the association. However, as we use dues to help cover the costs of putting on our Annual Meeting and Board election, as well as to help fund other neighborhood events, we greatly appreciate and encourage any annual donations from our members. Our previous annual membership was $5 per member.
Registered neighborhood members also receive a FREE Family membership to Explora.
