Events

It's Friday night and you're looking for something to do with the family...come on over to the Southwest Community Center! Family Fun Nights are the first Friday of each month from October through May. The WRC usually has a table at these events. Have you seen some colorful salmon on the loose around the Village? Community events such as the Maplewood Picnic and Multnomah Days are opportunities to connect with the WRC.
