June 2010 Newsletter
REGENCY PARK NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH NEWSLETTER: In case you missed our last Neighborhood Watch Meeting June 1, 2010, here are some of the highlights.
Crime Analysis 17 reported incidences in and around our neighborhood! Less than last month…that’s a good thing. See details on the Crime Analysis report soon to be posted. This report will have times, dates and locations of the incidences. Let’s keep our eyes and ears open and keep these numbers low!
*Note, as I mentioned above, some of the areas are not in our neighborhood watch area. It’s important to also know what is going on around our neighborhood as well and identify what can spill over into our neighborhood….i.e. “Old Spanish Trail”.
Patrol efforts paying off Members recently observed occurrences in our neighborhood that needed immediate attention and took action by calling the Sheriff’s Office and reporting it to the proper authorities. Members were able to get a good description of the person[s] vehicle and car tag to help identify the suspect. Members were able to accomplish this in a safe manner without putting themselves in danger. Law enforcement and animal control now have something to work with! GOOD JOB! This is the kind of action that will deter and prevent future problems in our park and neighborhood.
Patrol Captain[s]: Volunteers Needed!
Robert Lawson (476-1226/
Assistant Ron Hamile (
)
Please contact Robert Lawson and let him know your availability, when you’re patrolling and where so we can put together an organized plan for patrols. This is voluntary only but very necessary for deterring crime in our neighborhood. I challenge all of us to get involved and make a difference!
Treasurer’s Report: Tamara Hurst/ After purchasing seven (7) sign post for our Neighborhood Watch Signs and paying Billy Newlin a portion of his original purchase of the signs, the balance in our account to date is $326.00 (Big thanks to Billy). Future purchases include amber lights for vehicle patrols at night and magnetic signs with our “Regency Park” logo on the doors of the car.
Fundraisers Tamara is working on some ideas with Sonic, CiCi’s and Domino’s for support on some of our fundraisers. Waiting on a response from corporate and keeping our fingers crossed.
“CAR WASH” got the vote at the meeting for our next fundraiser. The date and location is being worked out and the details will be forthcoming soon. Suggestions welcome…
Also, a “Fall Festival” suggested by Mark, for the cooler months, where our other fundraiser ideas and events can take place at once, where the whole neighborhood can come and enjoy the festivities. (October/November)
Robert suggested selling “Krispy Kreme” donuts and coffee during the fall as well.
Mr. Apple, the chef at “Apples Market”, who lives in our neighborhood, has graciously offered at no cost to us, hot dogs and buns etc., for our Fall Festival at the park….Thanks for taking the initiative and speaking to Mr. Apple Nancy!…
General info If you are exiting your home or look out your window and see marked police cars speeding by or setting up in a specific area you may want to call the non emergency phone number to the Sheriff’s Office ECSO/436-9630 and see if it is safe to leave your home at that time. Be polite, tell the operator your name and address and ask them is it safe to go out of the house. They will advise you if it is safe or not. If of course, it is an emergency call 911.
No Sales Taxes Roselyn and Frank confirm no issues with our fundraisers regarding taxes! Good to hear.
Picnic at the Park: Reminder, Saturday, June 19th, we invite all neighbors to pack their picnic baskets, bring a blanket, and head to the park. This is your chance to have some fun and get to know what RPNW is all about. Starts at 3 pm… hope to see you there!
Chris Webster
RPNW President
