Everyone is needed to help get the pool ready for the summer. Pick up around the clubhouse, tennis courts and pond area. Donate an hour of your day to help make our Clubhouse and Pool area sparkle for the upcoming season. Meet at the Clubhouse at 9:00 a.m. Saturday.

If you would like to rent the clubhouse visit the Brooking website. Contact Toni Browning via the NMFPA Contact form for more information.

Grounds
The mowers are having difficulty mowing the greenway because of illegal dumping of trees, grass clippings, etc. Homeowners who are responsible for this are asked to please remove their debris. Sweeping gumballs or grass clippings into the street is illegal. Witnesses to any above activity may contact the City Works Department to report illegal dumping or clogging city sewers. Contact the Kansas City Hotline at 513-1313.
