Most wanted: Neighborhood Watch participants

Palermo's fledgling Neighborhood Watch is beginning to organize. Here's an e-mail from the resident who is leading the effort:

"Hello Everyone, Well we had our first meeting on Monday. There was a handful of people there and we had a great meeting. The first thing we figured out is that we DEFINITELY need more people involved. In that respect I am going to try to find some time to do some door-to-door work. We are gong to see what Brandy has in her database for email addresses that I do not have so that we can get the word out. We also decided that a lot of this is going to know who belongs here and who your neighbors are. In that respect we thought it would be nice to have a potluck dinner so that we can all meet and get to know each other a little bit better. We are going to check the signing laws and will order neighborhood watch signs to post threw out the complex. We will all get together and decided where the best place for them will be. As well, it was brought up that we should spearhead a plan for emergencies such as an earthquake or major fire and things along those lines. It was also suggested that we organize a neighborhood walk once a week (I for one could use the exercise). There were many good ideas presented but we need much more participation. I do realize that we all have hectic lives and schedules. I would much appreciate if everyone could email me (pstamas@live.com) with the best day of the week for them and the time, that way I can schedule the future meetings convenient for most of us. Thank you, Perry"

Perry deserves thanks for taking on this project and trying to get the rest of us involved. Positively Palermo looks forward to a well-advertised meeting attended by the Palm Springs police to answer our many questions. Miss Penny Lane says: Did someone say potluck? Let's feed our hungry would-be crime-busters so they can watch over our Palermo with gusto.
