neighborhood news

Dear neighbors:
I have some good news and some bad news this time to report....

First the bad:  There was a robbery in a home on Rose Lane in the Gwynedd View neighborhood next to us on Friday morning (during day light hours). They forced open a door and went up to the master bedroom and stole jewelry. Fortunately no one was home or hurt. Apparently there is an alarm on the home but it was not set at the time. They think a white pickup truck was involved. Please be extra careful and watchful now - secure your home when you leave, put some lights on, and watch for suspicious behaviors. Call the police if you see anything. Thank you to the neighbors who gave me this information - keep me informed of anything we need to know!

Good news
: See below for the information about our annual Halloween parade! Trudy Gregson is organizing it once more for us...thanks! Please contact her directly if you are able to help.

Also a reminder
: Eva O'Brien is coordinating a coat and blanket drive at the middle school. It is not a fund raiser - just a donation to help those in need. If you don't have a middle school student but would like to donate, you can drop items at her house on Cambridge Dr. Just leave them in a bag by the garage door. (Her house has the for sale sign up.)

Thanks so much for your help - stay safe and hope to see you the parade!
