We hope to see everyone\, new residents and those who have lived here for years\, for our parade and picnic – one of our most popular events of the year. \nPlanning is still underway\, but here’s all the details you need to know: \nThe parade begins at noon north of the intersection of Jefferson and Valentine. For the parade\, we encourage everyone\, especially kids\, to dress up. And feel free to bring your dog in its favourite costume! \nParade route: 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 for a picnic immediately following the parade. \nThe Neighborhood Association will provide the burgers/hot dogs/veggie burgers and buns\, plates\, napkins\, plasticwear and some beverages (adult and otherwise)  We’re asking neighbors to bring side dishes\, desserts\, water\, vegetarian dishes or another appropriate type of food. \nClick on the link below to tell us what you plan to bring for the picnic. Valentine Neighborhood Association: Valentine Neighborhood 4th of July Picnic (signupgenius.com)We’re also planning a special water balloon event after the meal!

SUMMARY:Roanoke Park cleanup
DESCRIPTION:Roanoke Park is looking better and better thanks to the crews of volunteers who have been clearing out bush honeysuckle. This month Scott Burnett’s crew plans to clear out the slope north of Madison. The efforts are part of the Roanoke Park Conservancy\, a nonprofit that advocates for completion of the park master plan. It is made up of a core of interested neighbors and volunteers who have slowly been clearing out invasive plants and bringing the park back to its original splendor.  Meet at Madison Ave\, east of Karnes Playground.

SUMMARY:38th and Washington Task Force meeting
DESCRIPTION:On July 12\, the Valentine Neighborhood 38th and Washington Task Force invited residents\, businesses\, safety agencies and others to its initial meeting. The task force\, headed by Cheryl Baird\, Chris Jordan and Mary Jo Draper\, was convened after Valentine residents expressed concerns about loitering in driveways\, suspected drug dealing\, and the suspected overdose death on a Valentine sidewalk that occurred on July 9. We invited businesses owners on Broadway\, the police department\, codes inspectors and the Broadway CID security team to help us understand what is going on and find solutions. Here’s a brief recap of the meeting: \n\nAbout 15 Valentine residents talked about issues they are seeing\, with several saying the level of drug activity\, people squatting in vacant homes\, people loitering in yards and driveways\, and people with mental health issues in the neighborhood has increased over the past eight months. Several said the level of disorder has become unacceptable. Residents talked about the need for compassion for unhoused and mentally ill people. They also expressed concern for residents around 38th and Washington\, which appears to be the epicenter of problem\, some of whom are afraid to go out of their homes.\n\n\nSeveral Broadway business owners and representatives of institutions along Broadway said that the same groups of folks who have been congregating daily at 38th and Washington frequent  parking lots and other areas on Broadway\, and are also making staff feel unsafe and requiring them in some cases to provide armed security.\n\n\nThe director of security for the Broadway CID\, a representatives of the Kansas City Police Department and our local codes inspector offered their perspective and some initial ideas for solutions. They stressed the need for residents to report problems to the police and the city and suggested we let our city council representatives know we need help in dealing with these things.\n\nA second meeting\, to be focused on developing a strategy\, is to be held Wednesday\, July 26 at 5 p.m. at Midtown KC Now\, 3931 Main Street. (Please park in the lot on Walnut Street\, accessible from 39th and 40th Streets.) If you cannot attend but would like to receive updates on the results of the meeting and plans for the future\, please contact Mary Jo Draper\, Valentine Neighborhood secretary at maryjo@drapercom.com.
