Volunteer Thank-You Event

Early each year, we sponsor an annual Volunteer Thank-you Event to express our gratitude to the members of our neighborhood who spend their time on behalf of their fellow residents. This past year, we invited 50 West Plaza volunteers and their guests. It is a simple coffee-and-treat offering, along with a short speech by the president to honor those who have helped create, manage, and staff our many activities, and also to announce the Volunteer of the Year.

Spring & Fall Cleanup

Twice each year, Spring & Fall, we conduct Neighborhood Cleanup events, funded in part by the city of Kansas City. We provide an opportunity for neighbors to clean up their houses and yards, and at the same time, give the dozen or so volunteers and participating residents an opportunity to get to know each other as they work together to move the trash from neighbors’ vehicles into the dumpsters.

Neighborhood Yard Sales

The Neighborhood Yard Sales are coordinated on a Saturday in June. Individual residents (usually about 20-25 of them) have their own sales, and the WPNA pays for ads in the Kansas City Star and further promotes the day on Facebook and on Craigslist to attract customers from across the city. We also post signs throughout the neighborhood the week before the event, and we create a flyer to promote the sales and encourage participants to distribute copies to their customers.

We will also have a Facebook vote for the best costume with prizes included. Event is held in the parking lot of our pediatric dentist's office located at 4410 Belleview Avenue. It is held the Sunday prior to Halloween the October weekend of the Fall Clean Up.
