I hope everyone is enjoying the summer! Our 2010 Membership Drive ended on May 31st, but you can still pay dues to your Block Captain or complete the membership application on our website (www.kingspark21133.org).The annual dues are $10 per household. Your dues will continue to be used appropriately for community expenses such as BGE bills for entrance wall lights; maintenance of the entrance walls; neighborhood beautification projects including flowers and mulch for the entrance wall flower beds; neighborhood outings including the refreshments served at our community meetings; website fees; and printing newsletters. Currently, our 2010 membership rate is 68.3%, which is below our 80% goal.Thanks for your continued support.

The Kings Park Association Board and our Citizens on Patrol (COP) members continue to work conscientiously to serve and protect our community. We were successful in obtaining community grants from LifeBridge Health, Inc. and the Governor's Office of Crime Control & Prevention.The funds from these grants will be used for the following: mulch for the entrance walls; power cleaning of the Kings Point Road entrance walls and painting the signs; Community Document Shred Day event; and purchase COP equipment to enhance patrolling our community.
