Welcome

We have some new members to our board we would like to welcome. Mechelle Parker, Judy Nance, and Judy Owens. They are all new directors to the board. Naima is still our president and we have a new VP, Sandra Goble. So let me say good luck to all those in their new position.

Thanks

We would like to thank Pam Kosewick, Madeline Noud, Cindy George for their service on the board. It is nice when our neighbors get involved in making our neighborhood a safer and better place.

Change in the HOA Board

Hello Everyone!

Greg, I am no longer on the board. Please change the blog to show that Sandy Goebel is now VP. Thanks.

I've enjoyed serving the neighborhood for the last 6 years, but felt it was time for some involvement from other neighbors. Looking forward to the clean up and garage sale!

Pam Kosewick

New blog

I apparently have a limited password. I can only do posts. I can't change the layout. I am working on getting the password so I can change everyone's name and email. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Spring Clean Up

One week after the garage sale we will have our spring clean up. It will be three days. The 15th, 16th, and 17th. We will need volunteers to help watch the dumpsters and collect money from none members. Make sure and follow the instructions on what you can and cannot put into each dumpster.

Garage Sale

Hello everyone. We will be having our garage sale on Saturday, May 9th. We will be handing out flyers very soon.

Trash Cans

Please keep your trash cans no more than 5 feet from the garage door(s). Please do not put them at the end of the driveway. Thank you for your cooperation on this.

City Ordinance

Cars are not to be parked on the lawns. Only concrete or gravel. So please move your car if it is parked on the lawn.

Food, Door Prizes, and a Kids Craft Corner

Hello everyone. We are having our annual HOA Meeting on February 19 from 7:00 to 8:30 PM. It will be held at the Blue Springs Media Room. We will have Food, Door Prizes and a Kids Craft Corner. We have had some recent break ins and would like your input and support in order to make our neighborhood a better place to live. Please bring a canned food item. Donations will be given to help needy families in Blue Springs. We are looking foward to the fellowship and input that you have for all of us. See you at the meeting.

Reminder

I just wanted to thank everyone that volunteered for dumpster duty. We really appreciate the help and support. It was a total success. What a weekend for cleanup. We couldn't have asked for a better Sunday day. Maybe a Chiefs win but I digress. I would also like to take this opportunity to remind everyone to fill out the surveys and take them to the drop box. The drop box location I have written in an earlier post. We are counting on these to get returned and are hoping it we get full participation in this. Once again thank you.

Fall Clean Up

Hello everyone

We are going to have our Fall cleanup the weekend of the 14th and 15th. We will be getting 2 dumpsters. We do need everyone to comply with what CAN and CANNOT go in the dumpsters. It will only cost us more if we don't comply. Once again if you have friends and family that would like to use our dumpsters. We need to collect money from them. We will be getting flyers out to you. Inclosed will be a survey. If you would be so kind as to fill out the survey and return to the drop box. The drop box is located at our treasurers house. See post below. Once again thank you so much.

Survey and Block Party

Hello everyone.

The HOA had been talking about doing a block party. We decided to postpone until next year. We will be sending out surveys very soon to get everybodys feelings on this and other matters. It has been a really good year. We gained a few members and also had no entrance accidents. We have been talking about doing a Facebook page. It would allow us to send out emails to everyone. It would also give our members a place to talk to each other. We are going to get your feelings on the surveys. Thank you all so much.

Drop Box Has Moved

Hello Willowbrook neighbors. The Drop Box has moved to 801 NW 19th Street. She is our new treasurer.

Willowbrook Garage Sale and Spring Cleanup

We are having our annual community garage sale on April 26. So clean out your storage and get ready to make a little money. And don't forget, you don't have to put what you don't sell back in storage. Just keep it for a week and put it in one of our dumpsters for our spring cleanup on May 2 - 4. Remember that certain items can't go in the dumpster. For a list of the items just ask whomever is on duty at that time.

Thanks to all...

Just a short note to let you all know that it was an extreme pleasure to serve Willowbrook for (in each capacity) for the past several years.

Now the reigns have been handed over to a new group of neighbors who, I'm sure, will continue making strives to serve our subdivision as well as the community at large.

With that said, I wanted to let you all know that I will be moving to California at the end of May. New surroundings...new horizons and all.

Your new webmaster for this site will be Greg Daniels. Please afford him the same kindness and cooperation that you've all shown me in the past.

With many thanks,

Daniel Anderson

Current Police Reports Filed

There is some information I'd like to pass along to you all regarding
the occurrences early this past Sunday morning.


First off, you may have noticed the damage to the west end of the entryway island. From what I gather from the police, a young lady was speeding out of Willowbrook at around 2AM Sunday morning and tried to exit the wrong side. Her Ford Taurus slammed into the wall at high speed. No injuries were reported, however the wall has sustained heavy damage. Pictures are attached. Please drive carefully around the wall as we are waiting to see what can be done in the way of repairs.

I am currently working with her insurance company (State Farm) to file the damages claim and everything involved with it.


I'd like to meet with the Board of Directors and Officers ASAP to
discuss repairs.


Second item: While on patrol early Sunday morning, Blue Springs police apprehended several youths driving around breaking into vehicles in our subdivision. Arrests were made and ALL property is in the possession of the police. Currently, it is all being itemized and cataloged. Seth and I drove around early Sunday morning trying to find any vehicles with broken windows, but found none. It appears the break-in's involved unlocked vehicles or vehicles with open windows.


If you notice ANYTHING missing from your vehicle, please let me know AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. The police said, "Even if they are missing anything as trivial as a pine tree shaped air freshener, report it."


Obviously, we had some excitement over this past weekend. The police report (so far) is (and I quote) "four inches thick". It will not be available for me to get a copy until Tuesday. So until then, please report any items missing to me.


It cannot be stressed enough that, because we are adjacent to a school, we have to be more vigilant in watching out both for our homes/property, but also that of our neighbors. Leaving porch lights on overnight and making sure garage security motion lights are working is a good start.


Again, please contact me via email or phone if you have any questions or information. Also, PLEASE pass this information along to your neighbors in case I haven't got their email addresses.


Thank you all,


Daniel Anderson
Willowbrook H.A.

Announcement

We are proud to announce that Daniel Anderson (currently serving as President) has been named by Mayor Steve Steiner as a new Commissioner on the Blue Springs Parks & Recreations Department.

We would like to congratulate Daniel on his new post.

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.
