Newsletter July 2010
REGENCY PARK NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH NEWSLETTER
Greetings Neighbors! It’s almost time to pass the torch. Officer elections are Tuesday, August 3rd, during our next monthly meeting. You will decide who the next President, Vice-president, Secretary, and Treasurer will be. We need members to volunteer for these jobs, so we can continue building RPNW. Here’s a quick breakdown of each position.
President: The president keeps tabs on all neighborhood crime, and gathers monthly crime reports from the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office. If a crime occurs in our neighborhood, it is the president’s responsibility to get the word out via email, or by phoning block captains. President also presides over monthly meetings, as well as the “occasional” officer meeting. Most officer-related business can be handled over the phone.
Vice-president: VP makes sure someone opens and closes the gate to the park each day. He/She also maintains close contact with the Block Captains and their Supervisors, so patrols continue happening. In the event the president can not perform his/her duties, the VP steps in.
Secretary: The Secretary’s primary responsibility is the monthly newsletter. It is his/her job to keep neighbors informed about what happens in the neighborhood and during neighborhood watch meetings. The challenge with this position is keeping the newsletter short, informative, and interesting. The secretary also takes notes for the president at all meetings.
Treasurer: The Treasurer is in charge of the money. He/She is responsible for deposits, withdraws, and notifying members of any changes to the account. The Treasurer also organizes fundraisers.
Food For Thought: Each job can be as easy, or as difficult as you make it. We all have families, responsibilities, and lives outside of neighborhood watch. This group is extra-curricular, but it is making a difference for all of us. Please consider doing your part to make RPNW even stronger, by volunteering some of your time.
It’s been a pleasure getting to know all of you, but it’s time for me to pass the pen to someone else. I’ll see you August 3rd!
