MPNA - News

Newsletter & Blog Website

To stay in contact with our members and the community, MPNA publishes a newsletter called MPNA News.

We use a online platform called Substack to host and administer MPNA News. Substack is an awesome free tool that allows users to subscribe to receive email newsletters, and also organizes the content as a blog website.

You can find MPNA News on Substack at metroparkokc.substack.com.

We've set up MPNA News with three different "news feeds" so that you can adjust the degree of frequency and detail of news you'd like to receive.

The MPNA News news feeds are:

MPNA News (free) – You'll receive all news posts when they're published.
Member Updates (paid w/membership) – Current MPNA Members who have paid their annual dues through the Substack platform will receive these updates with information specifically pertaining to MPNA's ongoing internal business. For a getting started guide on how to become a MPNA member through Substack, see the Membership page on this website.
Annual Updates (free) – You'll receive the MPNA Annual Update each Spring, which will include a notification of our upcoming Annual General Meeting.

Each one of these is a separate content feed that you can administer separately. That is, you can subscribe to one, two or all three at your discretion. You're always 100% in control of what you're subscribed to.

Social Media

You can also follow MPNA on Instagram or Facebook. This is a great way to stay up-to-date with progress in the neighborhood and with upcoming activities like Linwood Clean-up days.

How to Subscribe on Substack

Step#1

Go to metroparkokc.substack.com

If it's your first time visiting the site, this welcome screen will appear.

Step#2

Enter your email and select "Subscribe".

After you select subscribe, you will see this box notifying you that a confirmation email has been sent you. You have to confirm before you're successfully subscribed.

If you would rather move forward and read MPNA News on the web without subscribing, select "No thanks" at the bottom.

Step#3

Confirm your subscription.

Go to your email inbox and find an email just sent to you from MPNA News with the Subject "Please confirm your subscription".

Open the email, and then select the purple "Confirm Subscription" button.

You're Done!

Your Substack Account

After you select the purple "Confirm subscription" button, in addition to confirming your subscription to MPNA News, you've also created your own free Substack account.

In order to keep receiving posts from MPNA you never need to login, but it is helpful to understand that you do have an Substack account that you can log into and change your settings, subscribe, unsubscribe and so on.

And again, if you would like to become a MPNA Member, through the Substack platform see the Membership page on this website for a getting started guide.

You Can Change Your Subscription Settings

The great thing about having a personal Substack account is that you can adjust your notification settings just like you want.

For example, suppose you decide you want to stop receiving every MPNA News post individually, and instead just want to receive the Monthly Update and the Annual Update. In that case, you can go to your Substack account settings and make it happen.
