Time for Spring Cleaning and a Neighborhood Watch Meeting!

The holidays are over, and most of the rain has gone away, so let’s get together for our first Neighborhood Watch meeting of the New Year!

Mark your calendars now, and get ready to come together on Saturday, April 19, 2008.

We'll be coordinating our meeting on the same day as the City of Tracy's "3rd Annual City-Wide (West Side) Garage Sale." As we did last October, the Alden Park Neighborhood Watch will register our entire community for the event, so we’ll be listed on the City’s “Garage Sale Map” published in advance. Individuals can also register their specific home address by calling (209) 831-4331, requesting an application, and mailing it back by April 3rd, or by sending an email to jennifer.cariglio@ci.tracy.ca.us.

The Garage Sale will be held from 8:00am – 1:00pm, but this time, neighbors are encouraged to “set up shop” in their front yards or garages so you don’t have to haul your stuff to the park. As before, a suggested $2.00 donation can be made at 732 Sequoia Boulevard so we can continue to cover expenses related to the Neighborhood Watch program. Also, “Family Data Sheets” will be available for completion by each household so that we can have the most up-to-date information necessary to watch out for you and your family.

After the Garage Sale, we will conduct a formal Neighborhood Watch Meeting at Alden Park, from 3:00pm to 5:00pm. It will be a time to catch up on happenings in our community as well as to plan our events for the upcoming year. We’ll also have our famous and fun Raffle Ticket event, where everyone can enter to win a cool prize for the low, low price of $1.00 per raffle ticket. We hope to see you there!
