Overview and metadata sections

The Wynnefield Residents' Association (WRA) is a non-profit community organization serving the Wynnefield area of West Philadelphia. The agency is governed by a board of directors comprised of diverse community residents, and has its own advisory council. Organized in 1957 the WRA was not incorporated until February 27, 1966. The association lobbies on behalf of its residents in such matters as housing, transportation, zoning, crime prevention, and block organizing.

Stanton W. Kratzok, Esq., founder of the WRA, recognized the need for a civic association with a nonpolitical foundation to put the proper pressure on government authorities and to maintain unity and pride in the neighborhood. The WRA was instrumental in the passage of ordinances in city council against panic selling; handled zoning ordinances which kept Wynnefield a single family residential neighborhood, and prevented it from becoming commercial; and established numerous community programs including anti-drug rallies and seminars, distribution of bread baskets for the needy, summer camps, community watch groups, and the Wynnefield Day celebration. The organization also publishes the bi-monthly newsletter Focus.

Collection includes reports, bylaws, financial records, program records, publications, newspaper clippings, and administrative records and correspondence by or related to the Wynnefield Residents' Association.
