TETNA’s Annual Meeting set for April 17 at Roosevelt Elementary

Tosa East Towne Neighborhood Association’s Annual Meeting is a great way to get to know your neighbors, learn about your neighborhood and become more involved in our all-volunteer organization. And TETNA is trying something new at this year’s meeting, which will be held in the multipurpose room at Roosevelt Elementary School and will feature a selection of East Tosa pizzas to sample.

All Tosa East Towne residents are invited to join us at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, April 17, as we recap the past year, look ahead to our upcoming events, receive updates from City of Wauwatosa officials and award TETNA’s $1,000 scholarship to one 2024 high school graduate from our neighborhood.

TETNA’s Annual Meeting also is a great time to think about getting more involved, including on our board. Any TETNA member can serve. Board members are expected to attend our monthly meetings, held on the second Monday of each month, and to volunteer at some of our events when available.
