This gathering is scheduled for Saturday, March 2, 2024, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Kings Road Park, located at 1000 N. Kings Road.

This open house marks the beginning of a series of events designed to collect your feedback, which is crucial for shaping WeHo 40. The focus will be on visioning and goal setting, providing you with the opportunity to share your experiences, ideas, and perspectives through small group discussions and exercises.
