Wiseburn 15th Annual Santa Parade T-shirts available now!

Wiseburn Watch will incur approximately $300 to cover our Annual Santa Parade and Toy Drive costs, the majority to cover the the small gift Santa will give every child he greets. We usually ask for donations but wanted to do something special for our 15th year, so we’ve created a special “15th Annual Wiseburn Santa Parade” souvenir T-shirt to raise money for the parade on December 23, 2023. We need to sell at least 50 T-shirts to meet our goal. Please help us if you can!

If you prefer to make a donation you can always send a check payable to Wiseburn Neighborhood Watch (we’re a 501(c)(3) organization; 45-2862927) to:

Wiseburn Watch

Free Rain Barrel Program is back!

West Basin’s free Rain Barrel Program is back with six pick-up events in the service area from September 23 through December 2, 2023.

These free events are a great way to prepare for the winter as rain barrels save water and reduce stormwater runoff by collecting and reusing rainwater.

To register and get more information, please visit:

www.westbasin.org/rainbarrels or call (310) 371-4633.
