Next Meeting

Join your neighbors for a discussion of neighborhood issues on Thursday, March 18 at the International Christian Center, 3275 Williams Road. Refreshments start at 6:30 PM, and the meeting goes from 7:00 to 8:30.

Update -- Our featured speaker will be Master Gardener Ed Lo, who will talk about the Master Gardener program and sustainable vegetable gardening.

Reverse 911 System

AlertSCC is a new, powerful mass notification system that will be used to send emergency information and instructions. This system can send text or voice messages to home and cell phones, computers, and TTY/TDD devices for the hearing impaired.

Whether the emergency is widespread (earthquake) or limited (hazardous-material spill), you'll receive information abou how best to cope with the situation. Registering for AlertSCC is free and is the most immediately productive thing you can do to better prepare for an emergency.

To register, go to www.AlertSCC.com.

New Sections on this Site

Two areas have been added for your enjoyment and (hopefully) use.

Take a look at the Market section, where people living in our neighborhood can advertize services to offer or items to sell.

The new Disaster Preparedness area contains some basic suggestions for earthquake and fire preparedness and points to resources available on the Internet. As we get our Emergency Response Team going, news will be posted here.

Lynhaven Message Board

Ever since the Lynhaven Neighborhood Association's first inception a few years ago, Dean Sala has maintained a message board at Yahoo Groups. This is a great way for any LNA member to broadcast an email message or question to every other LNA member. Even though our secretary Natalie Heling maintains an email list for "official" announcements such as meeting notices, the Yahoo Groups setup allows anyone who signs up to contact others in the association.

The whole concept is spam-free, since Yahoo holds email addresses in close confidence, so signing up does not open you up to unwanted emails. Check it out and sign up at groups.yahoo.com/group/lynhaven/.
