Community Watch Program Anyone?

Hello Friends & Neighbors!

It seems some time ago our NOMA neighborhood was working on a Community Watch Program, but we hear it fell by the wayside. Last year we tried implementing Quadrant Captains (the normal programs use Block Captains) in an effort to reach out to our closest neighbors, monitor acitivities we think might be questionable, and in general provide better communication with our neighbors. This has also been difficult for us to organize. How do we best communicate with each other to make a better living place for all of us?

NOMA recently received a note from Officer Ann Cooper of the Salisbury Police Force asking if we might like to re-generate some interest in a Neighborhood Watch program. An email sent to our members indicated a positive response.

We are going to invite Officer Cooper to our next meeting. An agenda will be forthcoming.

If you have not attended a NOMA meeting, please know that you are more than welcome! We do not close our doors to our neighbors (many neighborhoods hold Board of Director meetings only) and welcome your input whether it be a project you would like NOMA to undertake or just a concern we can help address. Our idea list is HUGE and many of the projects are FUN (not just work! - like our Fork & Cork event!) so please join in - you will be greeted with open arms.

Additionally, a program such as a neighborhood watch organization takes people to pull it off ~ it can't happen on its own!

You should also be aware that the Salisbury Police Dept. holds a SNAG meeting every first Wednesday of the month at their factility. It is at 10:00AM and offers us an opportunty to be involved with how the police interact and solve issues with and in our NOrth Main Neighborhood.

The next NOMA meeting is scheduled for TUESDAY MAY 25th @ 7:00PM at the KOKO JAVA Coffee Shop ~ corner of N. Main St. and E. Kerr! See you then!
