Photo's from Canyon Crest Tennis Tournament

Our first Canyon Crest Tennis Tournament was held on Sunday, and we had a nice turnout of seasoned participants and some exciting (and at times, lumbering) play. Highlights: Joan took home the trophy and the most consistent award. Ivan the "Rocket" Sirin was top server. Jack took the "best crash" category.

A special thanks to our resident Tennis Pro, Eileen Semple, who organized the event AND supplied the drinks, snacks and the grand prize!

We hope to make this a regular event. For those of you who missed it -- see you on the court next time!!

Neighborhood Safety

* "The best crime prevention device ever invented is a good neighbor"
* Always be aware of your surroundings
* Use your outside lights; if possible put them on a timer
* Also use your inside lights when you are on vacation
* Let your neighbors know when you are going on vacation
* Call the NBPD Vacation Check when you go on vacation (949) 644-3681
* Pick up any newspapers or flyers delivered to your neighbor's home who is on vacation
* Area crime trends are posted at www.nbpd.org, Call for Service, #53 is our area

As I committed to the board, If a homeowner does not want to call the PD directly, I will make the call. Jim Casey has also volunteered to be my backup if I am unavailable. Our phone numbers are published in the directory.

Andi Querry is willing to make a presentation to our homeowners on Crime Prevention and Safety in our neighborhood. I recommend we invite her to the September election meeting since it always brings out the largest gathering of homeowners.

Sorry for the long email. I will give you the next update after this month's Neighborhood Watch meeting, 5/18/10.

Thanks,

Lou
