Join Columbus Gives Back on September 7, 6-8 PM for a Happy Hour to benefit Weinland Park.  The purpose of the happy hour is to both learn about the Weinland Park area and how we can help as well as to raise funds and bulb donations for our beautification event on September 14. 

The event is free to attend, though we will be collecting bulb donations and cash for the Weinland Park planting event. This is a great opportunity to learn about becoming involved with Columbus Gives Back and Weinland Park!  Plus, St. James Tavern has some pretty strong selection of brews on tap...so come by for the beverages alone! 

Where: St. James Tavern, 1057 North 4th Street Columbus, OH 43201

When:  Tuesday, September 7, 6-8PM

Event Leader:  Juliana at juliana@columbusgivesback.org

About Weinland Park: Weinland Park began more than 90 years ago to serve people who took streetcars to jobs downtown or who worked in the manufacturing industries along the railroad lines that mark the eastern boundary of our neighborhood.

Like most urban neighborhoods, Weinland Park has lost jobs and population in the last 40 years, but major public and private investments in the last decade and new commitments for home renovation and new construction over the next few years showcase community renewal and the evolution of a stable, mixed-income neighborhood.

At the center of our neighborhood are several acres of greenspace, Weinland Park, named for Edgar Weinland, a popular reform city councilman in the 1920s. Flanking the park are the new Weinland Park Elementary School and the new Schoenbaum Family Center, Ohio State’s innovative early childhood education laboratory.
