Xcel Rebates on Home Insulation ********************** West Wash Park has been chosen to participate in the Denver Police Department's "Broken Windows" Program. This is a data-driven zero tolerance approach to policing and it focuses police resources in areas with higher crime. This program will include extra police patrols, overlapping patrol shifts, more Neighborhood Inspection officers, more graffiti units, more gang units, etc. Before this goes into effect, we have been asked to hand deliver 350 surveys to neighbors, seeking their opinion of crime and police work in our neighborhood. We are looking for volunteers to help hand out about 3 of these questionnaires per block. These volunteers will be assigned from 3 to 5 blocks to cover. If you can help us and DPD in your area, please contact Merce Lea at meredithzml@aol.com for more information. We need to get the surveys distributed and collected by 2/22. ********************** Please mark you calendars for February 17th, 7:00 to 9:00 PM in the community room at St. Johns Lutheran Church at Franklin and Exposition.
