Crime Watch

ELCA member Karen Morano reported on starting a crime watch and circulated a sign up sheet. Karen will be a crime watch coordinator for her neighborhood in the Diamond district and Tom Sheehan will be a coordinator for his neighborhood near the intersection of Eastern and Essex Ave. Both Tom and Karen have attended meetings of the Lynn crime watch started by Dot Mylin and came back with useful information and crimewatch forms. To contact either member about participating in crimewatch, email Tom or Karin with your name and address and we'll get back to you.
