The St. Louis Hills Neighborhood Association (SLHNA)
encourages activity and participation in all aspects
of community living in our St. Louis Hills
neighborhood. Nominal yearly dues provide
operational
expenses for many events, programs, and projects for
all residents.
Annual events include a EASTER EGG HUNT, the
RUN FOR
THE HILLS, CHRISTMAS TREE LIGHTING and a HOLIDAY
PARTY. Yearly Lawn and Garden and
Christmas
Lighting Awards recognize landscaping and seasonal
decoration efforts with a plaque for excellence. Biannually, there is a
HOUSE TOUR of selected
neighborhood homes.
Each year the SLHNA offers three $600 one-time
scholarships to
neighborhood eighth graders to use in their freshman year.
The BLOCK CAPTAIN and
NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH PROGRAMS
are always expanding. Currently, there are about 130
Block Captains within the 12 areas by which St.
Louis Hills is divided for these programs. Block
Captain volunteers perform as organizers,
information gatherers/distributors, and liaisons
with the SLHNA board and city police.
Hills Street News is
the title of a quarterly newsletter
devoted to focused areas of interest to Block
Captains and residents.
In addition to SLHNA officers, various SLHNA committees devote volunteer time and
energy to needs of the neighborhood. Our MEMBERSHIP
COMMITTEE devised membership cards, complete with
detachable identification card for residents. This
innovative system is shared with other neighborhood
associations for their adaptation. Other SLHNA
committees include: Budget Committee; Francis and Willmore Parks Committee; Scholarship Committee
provides a limited number of monetary awards to
Hills resident students who are nominated to
receive funds; Communications Committee produces an annual newsletter; Business Committee
establishes contacts and communications with local
businesses and reviews the business plans of
potential new businesses; Streets and Property work
in close association with the Block Captain Program
and Business Committee; Police Relations; and
Promotions Committees round out committee
tasks. Check out the Coming Events
page for meeting times.
