Message from the President

Hi Neighbors,

I always enjoy this time of year when we can begin to get out and play in our community. I like to ride my bike with my grandsons and look over all the beauty we have around us.

This year has started off with some new things happening at the pool. We have installed a new liner that looks fantastic. We will also be adding two new tables to our shelter house. That will allow us to accommodate a bigger group. Be sure to make your reservations with me as soon as you can. Please participate in our neighborhood garage sale sponsored by the Lions club on May 5^th. Information sheets for that will be available at both Platte Valley banks and Big V market in town.

We need a new member to join our board of directors. If you would like to serve with us, please contact me.

We need volunteers to help with the Neighborhood Watch program as well as other community tasks.

Thank you for helping to keep our community such a nice place to live.

Watch the community bulletin board at the pool and the website (www.harborviewhoa.org) for any updates between newsletters.

Enjoy the summer.

******************************************************************************

Dear Harborview Neighbor:

The Harborview neighborhood is a great place to raise our families and we want to keep it that way. However, we must be aware that new communities are cropping up around us and as Smithville grows the possibility for an increase in crime also grows. Also, as we are all well aware, tornadoes and other severe weather can affect us at any time.

With these realities in mind, the Smithville Police Department was invited to attend the annual home owner's association meeting last January. They presented us with information and encouraged us to establish a neighborhood watch in our community.

There are many advantages to establishing a neighborhood watch.  Primarily we want to protect our children, our homes and our neighbors. We want to continue to live in a safe environment. We also know that having an established watch group will promote unity and community with each other. Then should a natural or other disaster occur here in Harborview, the contacts established through the watch group puts us in a position to respond quickly as friends and neighbors to help and sustain one another through the critical first hours until help arrives from the outside.

If you are interested in actively participating in helping to establish a neighborhood watch, please contact Billie Francis, our neighborhood watch coordinator at billie.francis@yahoo.com or 873-0069. The amount of time required of volunteers who take an active role is very limited but the benefits to our families and neighbors can and may be priceless.

 Thank you.

Harborview Neighborhood Watch Committee
