The next Newton Square crime watch meeting is this coming Monday, April 19, 2010, 6:30 at Jumpin' Juice and Java on Chandler St.

There have been several business break ins recently, one of my business neighbors had the windows smashed out of her car while she worked late this week, and there was a graffiti spree on Pleasant St. If you like the foot patrols you've been seeing in the area lately, you should know they will only be there for one more week. Yup, that's it. It will be a long summer.

If you care and are concerned please attend, if I can't get at least 6 people to show up on Monday, the WPD will disband the Newton Sq. crime watch for lack of interest.

Newton Square crime watch this Wednesday, September 1, 6:30 at Nu Cafe (former Jumpin Juice & Java) on Chandler Street.

The problems that go on at June and Chandler streets are not going away and won't get any further attention unless more people express their concerns. Frankly, right now the WPD and the city council see this as just my problem because no one else complains.

Business owners on the block are all suffering because of the drug activity, but I can't even get any of them to call the police.

If you care at all about what goes on the in the neighborhood, please attend the meeting.

Thanks tons!

Quick update -

We had a crowd! Thanks for everyone's support, and we were also supported by city councilors Kate Toomey , Konnie Lukes , Joe Petty, and Bill Eddy. Phil Niddrie who works for the city in business retention, and Steve Foskett from the Telegram were also there.

Second - An email went out last night testing all the email addresses gathered at the meeting. If you didn't get it, it was because Elaine couldn't read your email. Please message me and I'll send you her email or you can send me yours and I'll add it to the list.

Again - thanks so much and I'll keep you abreast of future developments!

Monthly crime watch meeting, tomorrow, Wednesday, 6 October, 6:30. NuCafe on Chandler Street (former Jumpin Juice & Java).

Back to our regular monthly meeting. This month the Newton Square Neighborhood watch moves to a new location!

Wednesday, December 1st
6:30 pm
Worcester Youth Center
326 Chandler Street (diagonally across from NuCafe where we had been meeting)

Feel free to join us and bring a neighbor!

Time for the monthly Newton Sq. Crime Watch meeting. Actually, we missed last month because of snow, so almost monthly!

Come learn what you can do to keep yourself and your neighborhood safe or come with questions for the WPD. We also get some city counselors who attend pretty regularly if you have questions for them. I certainly don't expect to see the same faces every month, but if you can squeeze in a meeting a couple times a year, it is a way to stay informed about your neighborhood.

Any attendance appreciated!

Join us for another edition of the Newton Square Crime Watch! How has the activity been in your neighborhood this summer? Have you seen an increase or an improvement?

This is your chance to share your inside on the ground knowledge of what goes on in your neighborhood, especially that which is less visible to those who only look in from the outside occasionally.
