NNI Volunteers of the Month - March, 2008
Paula and Roger Brooks
Paula and Roger Brooks generously donate their time to Northland Neighborhoods because they want to make a difference in their community. Paula grew up in Kearney, Missouri and Roger in Greenwood, South Carolina. They met when Paula vacationed in Myrtle Beach and married shortly after. Paula, Roger and their three children lived in Liberty, Missouri before moving back to Roger’s home town in 1996. Roger was a police officer there. Paula, as Director of the Uptown Greenwood Development Corporation, enjoyed helping people, developing programs and organizing events along with their three children. Paula and Roger taught Sunday School, were Youth Leaders, co-directed Vacation Bible School, coached a range of sports, and helped mentor new coaches.
Now back in Kansas City, Roger works for MTS Contracting in North Kansas City and Paula is Marketing Manager/Operations Supervisor for liNKCity, North Kansas City’s new fiberoptic Internet service. Roger has coached baseball and he and Paula have volunteered for NNI and Lakewood PTA events.
Paula is currently a member of North Kansas City Kiwanis Club and NNI’s EXCEL class. Together they are interested in being more involved in their local community through their neighborhood association. They realize the importance of keeping a neighborhood healthy and realize that it takes commitment to achieve that. NNI applauds them for their many volunteer hours and for making a difference in other’s lives and in the community.
