January 28th Pac-Tac Walk and other dates for 2010
Happy New Year Neighbors,
Hope you all had a great holiday season. With 2010 upon us it gives us a chance to look back at 2009. I’d like to thank all of you that walked PAC TAC either on your own or with us for one of our HPNA group walks. My goal for 2010 is to gather a pool of HPNA PAC TACers that could saturate an area if we were seeing a crime pattern. Four or five nights of us walking might be enough to drive the criminals off to a less attentive neighborhood.
We also had a very successful safety and security meeting in September. We identified some key issues in the neighborhood, including speeding concerns, the need for more crosswalks and safety concerns around Ellwanger Barry Park. We have since formed a traffic safety committee and several of us have been trained on the speed watch program. We have met with and are continuing to meet with city and NSC office officials regarding these matters.
Our Park Ave walk was a success. The monthly walks start back up on Thursday January 28th from 6:30 to 8:30. (Because of the General Meeting on Wednesday the 27th, we are moving the first Pac-Tac walk to the following Thursday) We meet at the NSC (Net) office on S. Clinton Ave. The next few dates after that are the fourth Wednesday of the Month:
2/24/10 3/24/10 4/28/10 5/26/10
Come for the exercise, come for the pizza, come help make our neighborhood a safer place. See you there in 2010.
