A Thank You shared by a neighbor...

I'd like to thank those of you who write in to offer your appreciation for all the time and hard work our league volunteers put in. We know what we do will be paid forward and that's exciting to realize.

Below is one of many emails we have received over the past few months.

"I just wanted to write you a note and again say thanks for the wonderful job you all are doing. I love The Horse and Carriage paper, and I just recently went to the Blogspot, and it is really nice, I appreciate all of the information so much. Even tho I have not had a chance to be to any meetings or anything, I just want you to know that I am very appreciative of everything that everyone is doing. I am behind you all 100%. I am proud of our neighborhood and I hope we can keep it nice."

Safety Fair

Our first Community Safety Fair was a success

Thank you all for coming out and showing support at the first annual Community Safety Fair. We could not have asked for better weather. It was really exciting. We were happy to see you all, as well as other vacationers and visitors throughout Virginia Beach. We estimate we had between 150-200 visitors. That's awesome for our first time out. We made some wonderful contacts and are already planning for next year. If you thought this year was something, just wait until 2008!

We were able to meet and talk to firemen from our local Fire Station #9 . They do an exceptional job, as do our local police department and rescue. We all were given wonderful instruction on how to be safe around water, in the sun, and in our homes. Adults and children alike were educated and equipt with the tools to keep themselves and others around them safe. This was an empowering experience for many.

Remember, we are enrolling now for the Family and Friends CPR class. Email us at CAFcivicleague@yahoo.com to sign up today. Look to June 28th for being the date for this course.

Remember to sign up for the CPR class today!

SECURITY ALERT!

All Neighbors,

A neighbor of mine got a phone call yesterday morning from their backyard neighbor. He said that several of the houses on his street (Gainsborough and Challedon) had their sheds broken into last night and wondered if they had hit ours as well. One of his neighbors suspects a couple of Mexican guys that he has seen walking around the neighborhood of CAF at around 2 or 3 in the morning. He has apparently seen them several times and says that they are looking around like they are looking for something, not just on a leisurely stroll. You might want to look around and make sure everything is still there and put locks on the sheds if they don't already have them.
