A few things that were discussed:
Deputy Chad Sloop came out once again to address area concerns. He reminds us to ALWAYS lock your doors, sheds and cars and NEVER leave valuables in the car overnight. Keep garage doors closed when ever possible so not to attract "would be" thieves from stealing items of value (golf clubs, mowers, tools etc..) and as always, use common sense!!
If you ever see anything suspicious ALWAYS call 911. Try to get the make/model/tag # of cars and description of suspicious person in question. The more information they have, the better!!
Speeding is still an issue here in the neighborhood. Slow down or you may be ticketed soon ;o)
If anyone is interested in starting a Crime Watch program, Sara Price would be our "go to" person. She can be reached through our area representative Sgt. Tessa Burchett. Contact the BOD if interested in setting up a Crime Watch program.

There will NOT be a Pine Straw order this Spring but will happen again in the Fall. If you are interested in ordering a Charm Lite conversion kit, please contact the Landscape Committee and finally there will be another Morrison Road clean up day (likely scheduled for June) so keep your eye's open for that date once its finalized to help out. A HUGE thanks to those who helped clean up on March 3rd!!
