Happy New Year
The West Peoria Residents’ Association Board of Directors would like to thank all West Peoria Residents for their support in 2009. At this time we are asking all of our members to renew their memberships for 2010 and would, also, like to invite all residents who are not current members to join the WPRA. In 2009 we had over 200 household memberships and would like to add even more in 2010. Following is a brief summary of the WPRA’s 2009 activities.
• Published six issues of the West Peoria News
• Maintained and improved the WPRA Website
• Held our 2nd Annual Spring Parking Lot Sale
• Sponsored the West Peoria Jamboree Run
• Participated in the West Peoria Jamboree
• Entered a float in the 4th of July parade
• Participated in West Peoria Night Out Against Crime
• Sponsored the West Peoria Beautiful Award Contest
• Provided and maintained the flowers at the Corners of Rohmann and Sterling

In 2010 the WPRA will work to maintain and/or improve our 2009 projects. We hope that more of our members will join us in our efforts to accomplish our goals. New volunteers are needed to make our WPRA activities and projects successful. Please contact any board member if you have an interest in volunteering, and to offer new ideas or suggestions.
WPRA meetings are held on the third Thursday of each month at the West Peoria City Hall at 6:30 p.m.
