The Southwestern Hills Neighborhood Association was
officially recognized by the City of Des Moines on 11/7/1994.
Local residents took action to initiate the association
to enhance the opportunity to dialogue with other residents
and public representatives about current and future
concerns, needs, and developments as the area continues
its growth.
The Southwestern Hills Neighborhood Association (SWHNA)
had its beginning with the filing of Articles Of Incorporation
on the 4th day of April, 1995. The initial Board Of
Directors included: Sherwood Adams, Robert Davis, Maria
Metge, John Greiner, Thomas Reynolds, Pat Prijatel,
James Sackett, Mike Shay, Carol & Kristi Trip. Throughout
its Thirteen years of continuous operation for the betterment
of our community several items are standout mile markers.
They include: The Development Of Brody Park, The Christmas
Luminary Project, Traffic Flow Improvements, Transportation,
SCRUB Day, General Meetings, Jazz In July, National
Neighborhood Night Out, Quarterly Newsletter, Website
Development, and the active participation and cooperation
with the various City Departments where areas of common
concern are addressed. Candidates for School Board Elections,
State & Local Elections, and Congressional Representatives
have taken part in neighborhood forums. The SWHNA is
always ready to respond to community needs and opinions
for improvements.
Our new President, George Davis and your Board of Directors
are looking forward to hearing from you and are waiting
for your ideas for further development of our quality
of life in this place we call home.
