- Dear Friends
The JULY NW Patrol schedule is out and sorry to say - all Tuesdays and all Saturdays are unassigned.
If it were not for about 10 to 12 residents - there would be NO COVERAGE.
I am seriously considering cancelling Patrols because it is not fair to these few faithful volunteers who have stepped up each month.
Several of you at the last meeting expressed interest. Please call me and we can do an orientation. Even if you were not at the meeting, please call me if you can help. Lenore 956 245 1276
If there are no volunteers enough to cover then Patrols will be cancelled. post haste
Thank you
PS The Harlingen Citizens Police Academy is beginning on Monday 11 July at 6pm at HPD. Applications are on the bulletin Board in the Library. (free and a great learning experience) Hope you give it some consideration.
