We are still in need of a Vice President now that the wonderful Suzanne Houlden has moved out of state. So, please apply today.
Also, Jennifer Smith has been kind enough to volunteer for the programs chair, but she needs a co chair. I plan on helping as much as possible but please think of Jennifer and sign up today!

This should be a fun one!

November meeting: Paint a Piece.

Our next meeting is on Tuesday, Nov. 18th at 7p. PLEASE NOTE THE LOCATION HAS CHANGED to Stephanie Hubbard's house at 92 East Charlotte Circle. We switched locations so we could paint inside, due to weather. Did you not pay or not want to paint? No problem; we still want you to come and chat.

Crime alert: Robindale.

On Wednesday, Nov. 5, a homeowner on Robindale left to take her daughter to school and then go to work. Ten minutes later she got a call from her alarm company about a break-in. They took whatever they could grab easily, DVD players, a wii, they overturned drawers. It appears they moved quickly and didn't spend much time because the alarm was going off.

The police told her a few things:
-- there have been a lot of early am break-ins in East Memphis. It appears they are watching people leave for work. They said to be suspicious of parked cars, cars driving up and down streets, etc.
--- they said her front bushes were too high ( around her yard near the street)-- it gave the thieves privacy to break in.
--- they said to please call and report suspicious cars to 545-cops.

Crime alert: Mary Ann/Rich.

There was an incident around 4p yesterday on Mary Ann near Rich. A woman was at home, but there was no car in the driveway. She went out to a storage room and when she re-entered her house, a white male in his 30's was inside dressed in a Terminex shirt. He slit her wrist, but she is ok, not in critical condition. If you know anything else please post a reply here. Brooke will contact the police and ask them to attend our meeting next week. Please feel free to call her with any more info or comments: 246.5584.

Crime alert: Normandy.

From email on Nov. 6:

At about 6:45 this morning I saw a truck stopped in front of my neighbor's house, directly across the street. I saw a BM get out of the passenger side, go to the garbage can, open the lid to look inside, then get back in the truck and continue to slowly drive down the street towards Mendenhall. I called my husband to come look, and he immediately got on the phone with the police. It didn't even occur to me that it might be the same people who were on Charlotte Circle, until a few minutes later. I also noticed that my neighbor had an empty TV box beside the garbage can, so I can only assume that's what caught their attention. I watched them as much as I could from the front door, but didn't see them stop at anyone else's house. I gave the police as much info as I could remember, but I will definitely be paying more attention to minor details.

Crime alert: Walnut Grove & Mendenhall.

From recent emails:

I live at the intersection of Walnut Grove and Mendenhall and my house was broken into yesterday. I work with someone who is a member of the Avon Normandy Neighborhood Watch and who had told me about the recent spree of crime in the area. I know that several houses around ours were also hit yesterday. The thief kicked in the door and took as much as he could in a short amount of time. It occurred around 10 a.m. after my husband and I had gone to work.

----------
As of 8:30 AM today, there have been two burglaries in our area on Robindale and Briarcliff.
