Last Thursday, the 5th, the Neighborhood Crime watch got together for the monthly meeting. In the meeting a local sign maker showed us a prototype of a sign just like the group had wanted. The price for each sign will be $42, which is by far the lowest quote we have gotten.  In addition they are donating four signs to the cause.

Several folks are investigating getting the breakaway poles for the signs donated from a number of government agencies. If we can not get sufficient poles, it may be that the group will have to pay for a few at about $25 each.

At this point, the fund for the signs has about $150 in it. As you know, Providence UMC is administering the fund, so if you would like to donate, please make a check to Providence, and make a note on the check that it is for crime watch. We also discussed the option of an individual being able to purchase an individual sign if that person wished to have one near his or her home.

The next meeting will be at 7pm at the fire house on July 10, 2014. Normally the meetings are on the first Thursday, but in July the first Thursday is the day before the 4th of July. Not a good choice.
