BECOME A KPWCA AMBASSADOR!

The Kings Park West (KPW) Civic Association (KPWCA), as its name indicates, is a civic association serving the KPW community.  It is not an Home Owners Association, or HOA, (that is the KPW Community Association).  Rather the KPWCA is a completely volunteer-powered organization focused on enhancing our community and life in KPW. Volunteers make possible the many KPWCA events including dumpster days, community yard sales, the Directory, Fall/Halloween and Spring festivals, park clean-ups, scholarships, message boards, and common area maintenance. KPWCA is led by a small group of dedicated neighbors – eight Executive Board members, plus a handful of standing Committee chairs (e.g. Membership, Parks & Lake) and others who take on activities such as the Fall/Halloween Festival and Spring Egg Hunt.

Vital to the success of the KPWCA is our team of Block Captains.  We like to think of them as KPWCA Ambassadors who provide the link between the Civic Association and the greater KPW community and are responsible for two primary tasks: 

• First, to provide information about the KPWCA to neighbors, including provision of KPWCA membership forms and collection of dues.  This is done each fall.
• Second, every two years, they deliver the eagerly anticipated KPWCA Directory to Civic Association members. 

KPWCA is in dire need of additional Block Captains.  KPW is divided into 99 blocks with one Captain per block and currently there are Six Vacancies. Over the years, some Block Captains have taken on more than one block. This year, some volunteered to deliver the Directories for the “captain-less” blocks.  Their “above and beyond” effort is greatly appreciated! Now, we need some new blood for this vital community link.  It is a great way to get to know some new neighbors and the community.
