Block Captains
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 a Homeowners 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, 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. Their primary task is to provide information about the KPWCA to neighbors, including provision of KPWCA membership application information and collection of dues. This is done each fall.
KPWCA is in dire need of additional Block Captains. KPW is divided into 99 blocks with one Captain per block and currently there are a lot of vacancies (see below and to the right). Over the years, some Block Captains have taken on more than one block. 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.
Please consider joining the KPWCA team as a Block Captain. It’s easy to join. Just email the membership chair at the membership@kpwca.org address. We’d love to have you work with us!
