Summer is a great time to get together with other neighbors on your block for an afternoon of food, fun and friendship. It’s also a great way for new neighbors to quickly meet everyone on the block. We’ve compiled lots of information for you about how to throw a perfect party and even provide some money to encourage you to do so!

Get up to $150 in “free” money! WPHA gives money to every block party to help with the cost.

• Blocks where 0% to 69% of households pay their dues will get $50
• Blocks where 70% to 89% of households pay their dues will get $100
• Blocks where 90% or more of households pay their dues will get $150

Contact Michelle Cour or 816.444.2159, chair of the membership committee for the following:

• to notify her of your party and receive information how to get reimbursed for your expenses
• to find out who’s not paid if you want to solicit dues from the non-payers to earn more money

WPHA owns the following items you can borrow. You’re responsible for returning them promptly so another group can use them, and must replace them if they are lost or broken.

• 100 feet of rope for a tug-of-war contest
• 10 oversize plastic spoons for egg and spoon races
• Bean bag toss game
• Two folding tables
• Coolers
