First Block Watch Meeting

Due to the encouragement of several of my neighbors I agreed to hold the initial meeting of our Block Watch in my home on February 2, 1995. A Phoenix Police Officer from the Desert Horizon Precinct was present along with 12 of my neighbors. I agreed to be the Block Watch Leader.
We moved into the neighborhood in January, 1990. My wife, Della, is a Registered Nurse who now does Home Health Care. Prior to that, she was a Critical Care Nurse. I worked for the State of Arizona as a Child Protective Services Worker. I have been a full time Residential Real Estate Agent since 1993. Our children are grown and live out of state, along with our four grandchildren. We are also active in a local ski club, and enjoy traveling. We feel fortunate to live in such a beautiful area with neighbors that look out after each other.

Subdivisions Included

Foothill Del Oro and Sher-Renee Heights were the subdivisions that defined our geographic area. However, anyone outside the area was welcome to attend. I continued as Block Watch Leader until January 1998, when Barney Wolfson accepted the position. I have continued to be an active participating member along with my wife Della.
I am the past Newsletter Editor and would appreciate your input as to what information is important to you.

Block Watch Area Expanded

Sierra Bonita Subdivision was added to our block watch in July 1997. We now have over 325 homes in our Block Watch and we look forwards to meeting more of our neighbors. Each year we are eligible for Block Watch Grant Funds ($10,000 maximum). Together we can do more for our neighborhood than each of us individually.

HOPE TO SEE YOU AT OUR NEXT MEETING.
