City of Bellemeade

12?!?  You must have counted some of them twice.  I was totally surprised at the number of people who introduced themselves; very nice group of people.  And, laryl, you didn't come talk to me.  I thought the host always at least spoke to the quests.

I got my block captain's name, email,  and phone number so I can participate.  I was going to volunteer until I found out my block was covered.

Sorry I missed speaking to you. I did try to speak to people before and after the meeting. You must have left before I found you.

The number 12 came from people who signed in and listed Bellemeade addresses.

We had some people who did not sign in 

I stand corrected on my miscalculation.  Again, I am glad to say that was a nice turn out, but I was sadly disappointed that the Bellemeade section was not better represented.

I was one of the first five people there Larry.  You looked right at me three times.  I was surprised you didn't speak, nod your head, or ask me why the hell I was there.  I even made a name tag with a MEOW coming out of cat whiskers on it.

At any rate, it was a good meeting for the most part.  I was thoroughly impressed with Officer Pickett.  I was impressed with the interest shown by the people that were there.  Now based on what Officer Pickett said, I expect that the next step is for each block captain to work out a plan with us?  It would be so much fun to have a Block Watch cookout in each block on the same day.  I can see it now with all of the smoke coming off the grills telling the criminals, "we will smoke you if you mess around here."

And oh, I was really disappointed  Reba was not there.  I am sure she could have added to the meeting (somehow).
