Hauntz Park Community Blockwatch

Street Captains are Needed

Dec 13, 1999

Additional Street Captains are needed on Townsend, Larcomb, Woodbury, Columbian, and Nashoba Avenues. We currently have one Captain for Larcomb, Nashoba and Columbian Avenues, but we are actually hoping to break the streets down a bit farther. It is easier to keep track of smaller groups rather than try to do three blocks alone. It really does not take much time to do and is a simple task. If you are interested, please contact the Secretary or Coordinator through e-mail, by phone, or at the General Meetings for an information sheet as to what this position entails.

At the present time, there is not a Captain for Townsend Avenue at all and there have been very few meeting attendees from this street. As a result, if we do not get a volunteer for this position, we will have to remove Townsend Avenue from the Blockwatch Community. The Captain for Larcomb Avenue has been pulling the weight for Townsend and Woodbury Avenues and cannot continue this task alone. Being a Captain does not entail a great deal, but for one person to do three streets is too much. Removal from the Blockwatch Community also includes the removal of the signs at the ends of the street warning criminals to stay away.

We do not want to drop any streets, but we feel that participation is the key to making this Blockwatch a success. Please participate and stay informed. An organization such as this cannot be run by only a few people. It takes everyone working together as a group to succeed.
