Help Us Win Cash at the Bass Pro Marathon Neighborhood Cheering Challenge

Would you volunteer to work a five hour shift or two on November 5, 2023 to represent the Seminole Holland Neighborhood Association in the Bass Pro Marathon Neighborhood Cheering Challenge? We are required to have at least ten participants for a cheering section. The location and specific hours will be determined once there is a final count of all the neighborhoods participating. We are developing a strong theme – signage, costumes, food/beverage options, and so forth - to help runners identify us and give us a better opportunity to win a cash prize for the neighborhood association. We expect to have two shifts each five hours long and you can volunteer for one or two shifts. To sign up, visit our volunteer opportunities page, call 816-289-6485, or email SeminoleHolland@gmail.com.

Illuminating Safety: Neighborhood Lantern Walk Promotes Pedestrian Safety

Over 115 community members came together for a lantern walk to Phelps Grove Park on October 7th, 2023. This event, which began with nine participants from our neighborhood starting their walk from Sunshine School, had a dual purpose - fun and education. Along the lantern-lit journey, attendees engaged in discussions about pedestrian safety. The event aimed to raise awareness and empower participants to be safer pedestrians and drivers. This gathering highlighted the importance of small actions in creating a safer community. Make plans now to participate next October.

Lantern Making Workshop Update

Even fully grown neighbors can come to the Lantern Workshop and make up to TEN luminaries for their road frontage on Saturday.

We have well over a hundred soda bottles!

And if they’re not gone by 6 pm, you can have them all! They look so pretty with sand in them.
