NUMBERS
As the weather begins to change and temperatures rise, our neighborhood becomes a more active place. Being outside more provides each of us with increasing opportunities to meet our fellow neighborhood residents or just become more acquainted with new streets and sites.
Most of these interactions will be positive in nature, but there may be isolated instances where you notice something that may seem strange in nature or make you feel uncomfortable. Whether it's a speeding or unfamiliar vehicle, unusual water running in the street or other instance that may seem out of the ordinary to you, it is important that we as neighbors pay attention and act when appropriate.
We're sure these types of events and the need for these numbers will be minimal, but it is always wise to have them handy and be prepared.
