Easter Egg Hunt
2021-04-03 15:00 - 17:00 UTC | Roanoke Park
Additional Event Information
RSVPs have been trickling in over the week to for the Easter Egg Hunt this Saturday, April 3rd at 3pm. I think we have about 15-20 kiddos showing up so far. We have between 250-300 eggs stuffed with all kinds of exciting toys, candy, quarters, and of course the BIG GRAND PRIZE EGG with goodies and a $10 bill.
Our neighbor Kelsey Johnson passed along a message to me from the Easter Bunny, saying that he would be in attendance, so that’s exciting news!
Also I want to thank our neighbors Jeanne Sharkey for donating some extra filled eggs and Jessie Kidwell for coming by last weekend and helping me fill eggs. Our neighbor to the south in Roanoke, Scott Burnett, will also be at the egg hunt with some cute polka-dot folding foot stools for any families that would like to take one – so special thanks to him as well for contributing to this event. And thank you to everyone who has offered to help hide eggs and assist with cleanup afterward (hopefully there’s not much cleanup and all the kiddos will find all the eggs!). Also, Scraps KC was a great resource for this event with boatloads of inexpensive Easter supplies. Please visit Scraps KC if you haven’t already! They are just down the street and are an absolutely amazing resource for crafting and art supplies.
If you are still on the fence about whether or not you’ll make it to the egg hunt don’t worry – anyone and everyone in the neighborhood is welcome to show up, even if you haven’t RSVP’ed. There will be lots of eggs and lots of fun.
Although I will have a few baskets on hand for collecting eggs – please bring your own baskets if you have them.
See you all Saturday!

(P.S. – Here’s a little coloring page I made that you can download, print, and color in while you wait for the Easter Bunny to get those eggs hidden! Just right click on the image to download.)

2021-05-27 18:30 - 19:30 (America/Chicago) | Pecina Home – Lawn, 3434 W. Coleman Rd, Kansas City, MO, 64111, United States
KCPD’s Community Interaction Officer (CIO) program assigns two officers to each patrol division who work as direct liaisons to the communities they serve. Through extensive engagement efforts, CIOs build relationships with Kansas Citians to increase community policing through public safety and crime preventions. Officer Charmainne Sanders stepped up to become a Central Patrol CIO when our former CIO, Holly Sticken, transferred to the DARE program last year. Officer Sanders knows our area well. She’s a graduate of Lincoln College Prep Academy, attended University of Central Missouri, and graduated from the KC Regional Police Academy in 2017. Officer Sanders’ KCPD service has been entirely in the Central Patrol, where she’s been a responsive and energetic CIO since November.
CHNA is hosting a “Meet our CIO” event on Thursday May 27th from 6:30pm to 7:30pm. This will be located on the lawn at 3434 West Coleman Road, home of the Pecina family. Please bring lawn chairs and use appropriate COVID protocols.
Officer Sanders will speak and answer questions. If you would like to submit questions in advance, please email president@colemanhighlands.org or submit your questions to a CHNA board member.

Pre-Halloween For Coleman Highlands Kiddos
2021-10-30 17:30 - 20:00 (America/Chicago)
Pre-Halloween was started last year during COVID-19 lockdown as a way for our neighborhood children to enjoy trick-or-treating with smaller crowds and at a safe distance from others. It was held the day before Halloween and was a big success. So many families enjoyed it that many neighbors wanted to do it again this year. Download the map of participating houses.
Pre-Halloween is NOT a replacement for Halloween night. It can be an alternative or it can be IN ADDITION to regular Halloween. However you want to celebrate is entirely up to you. For some, this means double Halloween fun — trick-or-treating or handing out candy BOTH nights. For others, it means they can choose between whichever is more comfortable and/or convenient for them.
Here are some reasons why many of our neighbors enjoy Pre-Halloween:

Some parents are stuck home handing out candy while their child goes out trick-or-treating – often one parent stays in and the other goes out. Pre-halloween gives the other parent the opportunity to go out and enjoy halloween with their kids (or both parents and then stay home on Halloween night and hand out candy together as a family).
Some people aren’t home on Halloween to hand out candy. Doing a pre-halloween gives them the opportunity to experience the fun of participating in the trick-or-treat experience.
Coleman Highlands gets pretty swamped with kids on Halloween from all over the city, so it can be kinda crazy. For those who don’t particularly enjoy crowds, the pre-Halloween trick-or-treat experience is more relaxing.
During Pre-Halloween, many people sit out at tables in their front yard instead of inside their homes, which leads to a lot more neighborly conversation. Especially during the more restrictive period of the pandemic, it was a very nice reprieve to be able to chit chat with our neighbors. But even when there’s not a pandemic going on, it is always a pleasure to be able to catch up with neighbors and chat!

The Egg Hunt will take place in Roanoke Park in the green space by Coleman Spring (north side of Karnes, northeast of the volleyball court and just to the east of Grocers Lofts building).
Please arrive to the egg hunt at or a few minutes before 3pm as the egg hunt will start promptly at 3.

Although I will have a few baskets on hand for collecting eggs – please bring your own baskets if you have them.
THE EASTER BUNNY WILL BE IN ATTENDANCE! We almost ended up with the Easter Bunny’s part-time assistant, Easter Unicorn, but the Easter Bunny luckily had an availability window on Saturday. So — great news!
I’d love to have some help hiding eggs around 2:30pm and help with clean up after the event.
