2008 Community Safety Day

Well as far as events go, the true gauge of a success is the willingness of the vendors to return again. And using that ruler we had a 100%, so we are pretty happy with how it turned out. And as we build this year to year we will be adding more things to it. The Community Safety Day will also be moving from community to community every year. 

Did we want more people? Yes, but we did get 500-600 attending. And the cost was absolute zero. That was a totally free event made possible by volunteers and donations from businesses in the Greater San Tan Area.

Arline and I would like to thank the people that helped make the Community Safety Day a success.

Tisha Castillo - Johnson Ranch Block Watch Coordinator

Dena Larson - Pecan Creek and Cambria Block Watch Coordinator

(The people above work with us on the Community Block Watch Association and help keep ten plus communities down the Hunt Corridor connected with a network of Block Watches).

Jennifer Codd - San Tan Heights Board member and employee of Mesa Gas

Phyllis Fraiser of Circle Cross

Pat Dowd - Principal of Mountain Vista K-8

Ellen McConville - President of the SouthEast Vally Optimist Club

Firkin - These guys gave up a Saturday to bring music to this event at no charge! So thanks Kyle, Mark, Pat and Vinny.

Gordon Brown - Gordon has been an area resident for years and has helped us along on many things. He can get more done with one phone call than most people can with a week of meetings.

All the Volunteers from the school and San Tan Heights HOA Board of Directors. All your help is very appreciated!
