The WEECC Is No Longer Active
Our community is now represented by the:
Elliott Community Group
In late 2010 community involvement with the West End Elliott Citizens Council ceased after
47 years of service.
This started with the loss of two very active friends and neighbors:
Elmer Clark who passed on in 2009,
and Norene Beatty who moved to another nearby community. The last known
participant was Matt Hogue.
These pages are no longer maintainted,
and remain online for historical review.

He was one of the greatest assets that the West End Elliott Citizens
Council ever had. He lived and breathed
for the children and the community. - Norene Beatty

- The communities with
a view - |
Welcome to our neighborhood
(map,
mapquest)!
If you have ever seen an artistic photo of the city
of
Pittsburgh Pennsylvania (USA), chances are that it was taken from our
neighborhood.
Click here to enlarge up the
picture
in the upper right, a snap shot taken from our West End Overlook. Not
only
is our view of downtown superlative, we can be there in 5 minutes
during
rush hour (and its only 15-20 minutes to the airport)!
Even greater than our view, is that our neighborhood
still
has the traditional Pittsburgh community atmosphere. Of course this is
partly because of Pittsburgh's unique geography, and construction,
which
are the foundations of its communities. However, this is enhanced in
our
neighborhood by the fact that most of our residents were born here.
One of the best examples of how much our residents
care,
is our West End Elliott Citizens Council (WEECC). This web site is
provided
as part of this Citizen's organization, to provide calendar, history,
and
other resources to help everyone know our community, and help our
residents
stay involved in key aspects of our community.
Who are we?
The WEECC is a community oriented organization
dedicated
to the improvement and enrichment of the West End and Elliott
neighborhoods,
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA.
The goals of WEECC are to promote growth and
development,
to actively involve all citizens in the area, to cooperate with any
group
which will work for the betterment of the communities, and to
administer
funds for educational and charitable purposes.
Every member is a volunteer, dedicated to making our
communities
a better place to live. We have no paid staff, no paid officers, and
our
board of directors remains uncompensated. Our officers are
elected
for one year terms and our board members are elected for a three
year term.
We are you, the community. We are your spokesperson,
working
for you and elected by you. We are funded by you. We are your neighbor,
and those who work in our communities. Together we stand, depending on
each other for support and ideas to make our communities some place
truly
special.
Our organization was founded 1966, and its history
is
here.
Where to go from here?
Our organization meets at Emanuel Methodist Church at the corner of Crucible and Lorenz the forth Monday of each
month
(calendar)...please
join us! Everyone is welcome; talk and participation in events is free.
And, if you are a resident, we hope you will fill out the form and ante
