Committee
We
appreciate the positive response generated from the ENA informational
flyer sent to Edgemoor residents in January. Thank you to all who
have joined ENA this year. If you haven't already sent your 2006
Membership form, please think about becoming a member.
We
should have two new meeting signs, by the ENA Board meeting on the 2nd
of March. One will announce Board Meetings, which you are all invited to
attend although the focus is on general business. The other sign will
announce quarterly Membership Meetings, where we have informative
speakers. These signs will be placed at the corner of Chuckanut
Drive, Park Ridge and Hawthorne Road a few days before our monthly
meetings. Thank you our good friend, Lou Geri, who provided the sign
boards for us and Steve Monson, Kathy’s brother, for providing the
lettering for the signs. Hopefully our new signs will remind our neighbors
of the ENA meetings and increase meeting attendance by Edgemoor residents.
Our
committee would welcome new members so please consider joining us.

placed in the levy is up to Council. So I encourage everyone to

Internet
and Your Child - Parent Class - A message from Crime Prevention Officer,
Tara Fleetwood
I
am sending an attachment for you to pass along to anyone in your
neighborhood who may be interested in attending our upcoming Internet and
Your Child Parent class in April. I will be facilitating this class along
with our in house "cyber-guru" Det Scott Matsudaira. It is very
informative and eye-opening. I highly recommend it to parents, caregivers
and anyone who supervises children's access to a computer.
The
attached flyer explains in detail the purpose of the class which is
offered on a Saturday or Sunday. We are only able to accept the first 20
people for each day as class size is limited. This class is FREE and will
fill up fast! I have also sent a copy of the application for the class
which contains consent to a background check. This is a required screening
in order to attend the class.
