Remember, this Tuesday’s APNA meeting is a general membership meeting. Even if you’re not an APNA member, feel free to come! We will have representatives from the Police Department, the Ward 6 office, and Community Bridges present. We’ll also hear about the latest on neighborhood and downtown developments, our new listserv, and keeping Armory Park’s traffic circles clean and beautiful.
The meeting’s Tuesday at 7:00 PM in the Parish Hall at St. Andrew’s Church.
Here’s the agenda:
Do you want to help keep Armory Park’s traffic circles clean and beautiful? Then please join us! The APNA Board recently decided to adopt our traffic circles under the city’s adopt-a-street program. Giovanna Hesley has graciously taken the lead on the project. See her message below the break.
Plan to come! to St. Andrew’s Parish Hall on Tuesday at 7:00 PM! This month’s APNA meeting is a general membership meeting. We will discuss crime and security with the Police Department, Community Bridges, keeping Armory Park’s traffic circles beautiful, the new listserv, neighborhood development issues, and other important stuff.
A message from Lead Police Officer Joseph Gradias, Tucson Police Department:
Greetings NextDoor and City of Tucson Residents. The Tucson Police Department is proud to announce that we have partnered with National Association of Town Watch/National Night Out to bring you, Dog Walker Watch!
What is Dog Walker Watch, you may ask? Well, Dog Walker Watch is a crime awareness program designed for neighbors who are familiar with their community and out in the neighborhood on a regular basis anyway, whether walking with or without a dog. Dog Walker Watch encourages these neighbors to assist local law enforcement as extra eyes and ears while out walking their dog in the ongoing community-policing efforts.
I will be hosting an informational training presentation at the Patrick K. Hardesty Multi-Service Center, located at 1100 S. Alvernon Way, in the front conference room from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM on Saturday, September 1st, 2018. I encourage any neighborhood association leader or active community member who wishes to get their neighborhood started to attend.
If you can’t make this meeting, don’t be discouraged, because we plan to have several more presentations in the near future. Thank you and hope to see you there!
Based on some Listserv problems and recent online polling, the APNA Board has decided the currently used Listserv (on YahooGroups) will be discontinued by Sept. 15. At that time, we will move to our NEW GoogleGroup and cancel our YahooGroups subscription.
If you want to join Armory Park’s GoogleGroup listserv, just send a blank email from the email you wish to use to this address: Armory-Park+subscribe@GoogleGroups.com and then respond to the automated verification email it sends.
If you want to drop YahooGroups before Sept. 15 (to avoid too many double posts), send a blank email from your current YahooGroups-used email address to: ArmoryPark-unsubscribe@YahooGroups.com and respond to its verification (if any), too.
In the meantime we will stop approvals for joining YahooGroups and direct newcomers to the new GoogleGroup address. New members will be unable to post until verified and unmoderated, just like new YahooGroup members were. If you join with the same email address used in Yahoo, we can unmoderate you for posting fairly quickly. If you use a different email address we may email you for extra info before allowing message-posting privileges.
Please contact Tod Santee, Phyllis Factor, or Deborah Oslik if you have any problems joining.
