Milwood Neighborhood Assoc.

Our second meeting with the Austin Police Department regarding the Neighborhood Watch program will be held at 7 pm, Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010 at the Milwood Branch Library. All neighbors are encouraged to attend for more information about recent neighborhood events and the Neighborhood Watch program.

This is the second required meeting and will get us just that much closer to reestablishing our Neighborhood Watch program in Milwood.  We also need YOU to step up as a block captain for your street or section of street to help us communicate important information to your neighbors about how they can protect their homes more effectively.  Becoming a Block Captain is a low-commitment, high-glory job!  Thank you in advance for your help with improving the quality of our neighborhood.

This session’s focus will be on personal safety and is again presented by Officer Dunn, our local APD representative. This is a great time to meet Officer Dunn face to face, and especially, to meet your neighbors. We look forward to seeing you there.

We typically have a three events in Spring you can start penciling in on your calendar.

Saturday April 17 – Neighborhood Garage Sale
Wednesday, April 28 – Neighborhood General Meeting
March 6 – It’s my Park day

Also look out for a late winter/early Spring canned/nonperishable food item drive to benefit Caritas of Austin. Boxes will be placed at the Milwood Library, Summitt Elementary, and It’s a Grind coffee shop. Thanks for your support. There are many needy folks in Austin that Caritas provides goods and services for.
