Wren Community Website:
Rural Networking
The Wren Community Club (WCC) sponsors this website which includes info on the Wren Community, how to rent Wren Community Hall, Events, Classifieds, a Wren Business Directory, etc. We'd LOVE to develop links to the same in neighboring rural Benton County communities. We've started with links to Community Contacts, Events Calendars, local Business Directories. Do you have a website we can link to from here? Please contact Karen Kennedy at 929-5711, or email winken@casco.net.- Alsea
