SUMMARY:General meeting; Vote on National Register of Historic Places
DESCRIPTION:Valentine residents have spent the past several years gathering information for a historic survey of the neighborhood. The survey records the date of construction\, early residents (when known) and history of every structure within the area. It also describes the creation of the neighborhood and how it changed over the years. The data has been submitted to the city Preservation Office. On Sept. 7\,  the city’s historic preservation officer\, Brad Wolf\, presented it to the neighborhood. \nThe survey report and forms are on a google drive you can access.\nhttps://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1sRsUKNhwBTAr3ra9P6OMouNZHmxlfxH-?usp=sharing \nAll Valentine residents were invited to the meeting to view the survey results and learn more about what it means to be on either the National Historical Register or the local historic register. The consensus of those attending the meeting was that residents would like to proceed with putting the neighborhood on the National Register\, but we need more time to consider whether we want to apply to be on the local register. The VNA board of directors met after the meeting and made the same recommendation. \nWolf explained that inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places does not require homeowners to go before the Preservation Commission if they wish to do modifications\, paint or make other changes to their home. Some property owners within the district  may\, however\, be eligible for a state or federal investment tax credit on qualified rehabilitation expenses if their work conforms to the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Historic Building Rehabilitation.The program is intended to spotlight neighborhoods with significant history or cultural significance and to encourage owners to make improvements in their properties\, which may increase the value of all property within the district. \nHandout on the difference between national and local historical designation\nDetails on the state and federal tax credits \nBefore we go ahead with this action\, all interested residents of the neighborhood have a chance to express their views and vote. This vote will take place on Sept. 28 at the Valentine General Meeting. If you are at that meeting\, you have a chance to vote. If you cannot attend the meeting\, you may send your vote and any thoughts you have in advance to the Valentine board of directors by email at valentineneighborhood@gmail.com. \n\nThis is a preliminary step. State preservation officials must review the application for national historic designation and it is not guaranteed that our application will be accepted.\nAt this time\, we are only voting on applying to be a National Historic District. Being included in the Kansas City Historic Register requires approval for some changes from the Kansas City Historical Preservation Commission. We will have other opportunities to consider whether we want to go forward with seeking local designation and you will have a chance to learn more and voice your opinion.

SUMMARY:4th of July Parade and Picnic
DESCRIPTION:Fourth of July: The Celebration Returns\nValentine will hold a 4th of July parade and picnic on the 4th of July. If you are new to the neighborhood\, we have not held our neighborhood parade and picnic during the COVID years\, but we this year it is coming back\, hopefully bigger and better than ever. All Valentine residents are invited to attend\, including children and dogs. The parade starts at noon\, and features a chance to dress up for the holiday\, decorate your bike\, dress up your dog\, or just cheer the parade on from your front porch. That will be followed by a social hour; you are encouraged to bring your own refreshments or a picnic if you desire.\n\nHere are the details: \n\nMeet at noon for the parade. Assemble on Jefferson Street north of Valentine Road. The parade begins at noon so be there at least 10 minutes early if you plan to walk in the parade. Feel free to dress for the day – traditionally Uncle Sam has joined us\, and folks have often shown up in creative and elaborate costumes. Kids like to decorate their bikes for the holiday\, and some folks even decorate their dogs.\nThe parade route is this: Starting at Jefferson just north of Valentine Road; turn east on Valentine; turn south on Pennsylvania; turn west on 38th Street. The parade ends on the block of Jefferson between 37th and Valentine.\nNote: The block of Jefferson between 37th and Valentine will be closed off shortly before the parade and will reopen after the social hour has ended. \nStick around or come back for a picnic. At 1 p.m.  Following the parade\, we’ll hear from any elected officials who have joined us for the parade. You should bring a side dish to share and chairs if you need them. If your family and friends want to bring a picnic that is great. The neighborhood will supply the hamburgers and hotdogs and beverages (as long as they last). The neighborhood association will provide water\, and thanks in advance to Boulevard for contributing drinks.
