Clean-Up Weekend Reminder

This coming weekend is the annual Spring Clean-Up weekend.

Dumpsters will be located, as usual, in the Willowbrook Court cul-de-sac.

Please adhere th the signs posted on each dumpster so as not to place items prohibited in each.


Volunteers will be manning the dumpsters all weekend with a list of members. Non-members may use the dumpsters but must pay a $10 fee.

Also, the forecast for this weekend shows expected rain off and on. We hope this doesn't hamper out weekend, but clean-up will proceed rain or shine. Due to a shortage of KC Hook dumpsters this time of year, we are unable to reschedule this event.

If you have any questions, please contact one of the board members.

Alerts

Happy Easter to all...hope everyone has had a great weekend.

There are two things I wanted to mention:

1) There has been another game of "Mailbox Baseball" played in our subdivision. Many mailboxes on 18th , 19th and Willowbrook Drive (I'm sure there are more) were either damaged or completely destroyed sometime either last night or early this morning. I know this is probably a shot in the dark, but if ANYONE saw or heard anything I'd very much like to know. Our only defense against such property damage is our vigilance and attention. Joe Stubblefield is placing a call to the local Postmaster regarding this latest round of vandalism.

2) If anyone has information (names, phone #, email or street address) about the folks who bought (and were rebuilding) the house at 707 NW 16th Street (the one that burnt recently that used to belong to the Wilson's), please either forward that to me or call Joe Stubblefield @ 229-6182 or email him @ joe_stubblefield@sbcglobal.net.

I thank you all for your time and help on these matters.

Many thanks,

Daniel Anderson
Willowbrook H.A

Update...

Just a few things...

The new contact cards and fridge magnets ARE IN.
If anyone has a good idea on how to get these out to the homeowners WITHOUT having to mail them, I'd really love to hear it. :)

The Spring Clean-Up postcards will be arriving fairly soon as well.

Also, I just got the blueprints, plans and bid from the folks at Urban Lawn & Landscape.
Sheila, if your mom needs copies of the original entryway plans and measurements to help her figure this mess out, just let me know. I'd be happy to provide those.

If we could have ALL bids in ASAP, then we'll have a very good issue for the next meeting in April.

Also, now that the new lights are in (biggo suckers, ain't they??), I think it behooves us to come up with the brickwork or whatever we've decided on to keep them from falling victim to more vandalism. (I found one turned this afternoon while I was up there picking up trash.

Okay, that's it from here. Enjoy the rest of your Sunday, and have a great week.

Let me know if you have any feedback or questions,

Daniel

2007 News & Previews



Greetings to all Willowbrook Homeowners.

Much to tell about what is in store for this new year. Updates and other information will be posted here as they come in.

First off, a new group now holds seats as Officers and Board of Directors. They are as follows:

OFFICERS...
President: Daniel Anderson
Vice-Pres: Randy George
Treasurer: Leslie Long
Secretary: Naima Chestnut (in training by/with Pam Kosewick)

BOARD OF DIRECTORS...
Mary Neubauer
Bonnie Perrin
Cindy George
Karen Buss
Sheila Gann
Madeline Noud

Note: Bonnie was unable to attend last nights' Annual Association Dinner/Meeting, so congratulations to her for receiving the most "votes".
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Michael Noud has offered to serve as this years' "Flag Man". He will make sure teh flag is lowered for specific occasions, as well as general upkeep (replacement) if and when necessary.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The brand new and stronger lights will be installed on the entryway sign. We should see them up and working by weeks' end...however this is all depending on the weather and if the ice melts by then. Regardless, the new lights are going to be there very soon. We opted to replace the ones that were there for just over a week before they were vandalized. We have been assured the new ones will be a little more sturdy. We will also be installing some sort of guards around them to (eg. brick or iron cages) in order to discourage more vandalism.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The issue of having some sort of "Block Party" for Willowbrook (possibly in one of the cul-de-sac) was brought up again at this year's Annual Meeting. We think this is a great idea and I'm really looking forward to your feedback on this. This hasn't been done in quite some time and as we have many new homeowners now, this would be a great opportunity to meet them and also swap gossip. (just kidding...?)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The first meeting of the new Officers and Board of Directors is scheduled for Monday, February 5. 7:oo PM till 8:30 or 9-ish. Location is 805 NW 18th Street. All homeowners are invited to attend, as we feel that all input is welcome. Please call me at 220-2202 and let me know that you'd like to attend. Or you can email me at EMAIL DANIEL HERE.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There is much more to tell you all, and I'll add it here as soon as I get that information. Please come back to this site often for updates.

If you would like to know each time something is added to this site (news, alerts, updates, etc.) just click on the "Subscribe" link on the left-hand column. You will be prompted to enter your email address and then whenever something is added here, you'll get an automatic email alert.

Coming Up...

Fall is fast approaching and it's time to start thinking of when we'd like to hold our annual Fall Clean-Up.

I have gane back in time (paperwork wise) and seen that over the last couple of years we've held that clean-up and then the leaves would really drop. So maybe if we pushed it back a little bit. I was looking at the calendar and wanted to run the following by you:

Friday, November 10 through Sunday, November 12.

I realize the mailer that went out early this year mentioned the weekend of Nov. 17 - 19, but we felt that was too close to Thanksgiving weekend.

Please let me know what you think of this time frame. I am ordering postcards to send out as reminders (at no cost to the Association, of course) and need to get a date set. Also, the earlier I am able to reserve dumpsters the better.

Also, the question of a Fall Garage Sale has come up a few times. What are your thoughts on this as well?

Please send your comments, concerns suggestions to me @ tempestkc@sbcglobal.net.

Thanks,

Daniel

Update From The President

Hello there,

I hope everyone is faring well during this, our current heat wave. Stay cool.

I just wanted to touch base with you all, since it's been a while with no meeting. I have had a lot on my domestic plate with several ongoing projects (reconstruction/renovation), but I'm sure you can all relate.

There are, however, a few items I wanted to mention...

First off, there's the entryway. I am still trying to match the color so that I can properly cover the graffiti that is now only slightly visible. If I can't make the right match (the sun and weather have faded it a bit), I'll have to make a complete repaint project out of it (ugh!). I'll let you know what happens.

Also, since I've been working on so much renovation here at the house, I haven't been able to get to the weeds at the entryway as I've been wanting to. I am going to try to get on that sometime during this week after work. If not then, sometime early Saturday morning.

I'm sure you've noticed the FOR SALE signs within the subdivision. Here's what I know so far:

801 NW 19th Street - SOLD (I still don't have the names)
800 NW 19th Street - FOR SALE - Still showing.
1712 NW Ash - SOLD - Awaiting response from new owners.
708 NW 18th Street - SOLD - Closing process in progress.
705 NW 18th Street - FOR SALE - Still Showing. (Pam Kosewick's home)
809 NW 18th Street - For Sale - In process of listing. (Mary Craff's home)
815 NW 16th Street - Status Unknown.

If there are others I might not have listed here, please let me know.

Well, that's about it for the time being. If you have anything to add, please feel free to let me know.

Thanks,

Daniel

Let There Be Light

After a unanimous vote at the recently-held projects meeting this past Monday, Eagle Electric, Inc. has been contracted to install the new spotlights for the entryway sign.

As of today, this project has begun, and you will see the contractors out working on it starting today and the job should be completed by the end of the week.

We have already made it part of the work order that no light is to overflow the sign, thereby keeping them from shining into/onto the houses on either side.

Stay tuned...

A Message From the Gaverth's

As some of you know, we are getting ready to look for another house without stairs. Lynette can't handle them anymore. As part of the process, we are going to have a tag sale getting rid of most of our stuff. The people doing the sale will be in our house from now thru June 8 arranging things -- so please don't try to reach us at 816/229-9233. Call Lynette's cell instead (816/682-6555). Very soon we will be dumping our land line telephone completely, and I will be getting a cell phone myself. When I do, I will let you know.
So long y'all,
~ Ken ~
