Neighborhood Watch program

Okay! So I said this week would be busy but I didn't realize I needed to schedule out 2 weeks from my little va-cay!

Last night was the Neighborhood Watch meeting that I trapzed all over the neighborhood for...I was really worried that I would have only about 3 people show up. It would be just my luck to get shin splints handing out fliers and then have no one show up. Can you tell I was nervous about it?

Anyhow, the turn out was actually pretty goof for putting out the fliers a week in advance without the meeting time on them! There were probably about 25 people there and the officer that did the presentation said he was impressed because the last meeting he had gone to for a larger neighborhood then ours had only had five people show up! Not only did people show up, they seem eager to help out. YAY!

So in 2 weeks time we scheduled a neighborhood BBQ so that we can hopefully get to know who ALL of our neighbors are and not just the ones that are well organized. :) Hopefully I can get THAT organized alright without spending an arm and a leg on it... wish me luck!

I am so, so glad that you had a good turnout at the meeting. I'm so proud of you for getting this started. So cool. I brag to everyone I know: "My friend, Apes, started a neighborhood watch in her neighborhood." I'm such a dork.
