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.

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 AndersonWillowbrook H.A.

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 AndersonVice-Pres: Randy GeorgeTreasurer: Leslie LongSecretary: Naima Chestnut (in training by/with Pam Kosewick)BOARD OF DIRECTORS...Mary NeubauerBonnie PerrinCindy GeorgeKaren BussSheila GannMadeline NoudNote: 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.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Well, that's it for now. Please stay tuned and stay informed by visiting our site regularly.Looking forward to serving you again this year,Daniel AndersonPresidentWillowbrook H.A.

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...

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 ~708 NW 18th Street

Just an update on some progress made on some on-going projects:1) Entryway LightsProject: The "Willowbrook" sign(s) are in need of lights so that it can be seen at night.Update: Three electricians are currently submitting estimates for this. It will include the actual lights, material(s) and labor. Leslie Long is also contacting Dave Madden and one or two others to bid. We will, of course, submit the lowest bid to the members for approval. The winning bidder will be contracted for work soon thereafter.2) Website CalendarProject: I've been searching online for a relatively easy-to-use interactive calendar for visitors to the site to see what's on tap for Willowbrook. We can easily add the events as "Posts", but a calendar will also help.Update: There is now a new calendar link on the left-hand side of the site (under the "Calendar" section). Please give it a try and give me any feedback you might have. The directions are simple and printed on the box.Note: This calendar allows any member to open and add an event that they think might be of interest to the Association Members. I've added several events to it already (for the months of April, May & June) to give examples. When you click on the "event" (click on it once) you'll see what (if any) notes are attached to that particular event.

As you all know, we've had a series of storms coming through our area throughout today and into this evening. With these storms, a system just hit which produced golfball-sized hail. (we've now got some samples in our garage freezer) We're currently trying to peel our cats off the ceiling.I hope none of your homes or vehicles have suffered any damage from this storm, and it would be a good idea for you to check your roofs tomorrow as hail can, at times, cause some problems.

If you'd like your business web page or link added to this page, send us an email.And yes, pictures will be added as we get them. If you have pictures (I'd love to see a good one of the entryway showing the WILLOWBROOK sign), that you'd like posted here, send them to us.That's all for now, but keep checking in.Have a great weekend,Your Officers & Board
