Block Captains Meeting, Sunday, February 21, 2010
Attending: Warren Langston, Alma Jo Langston, Suzanne Butler, Nancy Kute, Carolyn Ford, Russ Ford, Louise Snyder, Rod Turnham, Dennis Carter, Pat Carter, Dave Clark, Judy Clark, Kathleen Haley, Mia DelMontange.
Our next all-neighborhood meeting will be held on March 11 at 7:00 pm, at the East Baptist Church. CMPD Officer Jeffrey Hunter is replacing Officer Jim Brown as our neighborhood contact with CMPD. Officer Hunter will attend this meeting and speak to us then.
Block captains met on Sunday, February 14,2010 at the home of Dave and Judy Clark. List of attendees TBA.
Proposed bylaws for the Sardis Woods Neighborhood Watch Association were discussed and approved.
A motion was passed to continue efforts to negotiate an agreement with property owners at Sardis Road North and Sunnywood for a new neighborhood entrance sign. It was agreed that our next step is to gain a better understanding of the problems perceived with previous proposals.
Mia has agreed to plan and organize a spring neighborhood cleanup.
A motion was discussed and approved to continue efforts to construct street lights in areas of the neighborhood in need of additional lighting for security. Future lighting projects will NOT be large neighborhood-wide efforts as the last one was; but rather small, individual-light or individual-street projects.
A Woods Watch will be published within the next month.
New block captains are needed for Cloverwood, Surrywood, and Sunnywood. Existing block captains are requested to seek neighbors willing to serve in that capacity.
Russ Ford will check on this year's plans for National Night Out, and report back to us a recommendation to organize a neighborhood event to coincide with that national event, or to plan a date better for our neighborhood. Last year's all-neighborhood event was successful, and considerably more comfortable than earlier years' events held on the official National Night Out date in August.
A suggestion was offered to prepare a welcome-to-the-neighborhood letter informing newcomers of neighborhood events and resources.
All neighbors are requested to remember and enforce the no-outside-soliciting policy for the neighborhood. If anyone comes uninvited to your door for commercial purposes, please remind them politely but firmly that door-to-door soliciting is not permitted in this neighborhood.
Finally, PLEASE do not hesitate to call 911 if you see any suspicious, or questionable, activity in the area around you. If a situation you see doesn't feel right, it most likely isn't right. Trust your first instincts. Call the police and let them sort it out. If it all turns out to be perfectly innocent, the police will still be glad that you called.
