TWDC Safety Committee's planning retreat is this coming Saturday, 4/12, from 9a-12n. Meeting will be held on the third floor at Merrick House.

This is YOUR opportunity for input; to shape the activities of the committee for the upcoming year. If the committee is to be a success, active participation from the neighborhood is needed! Please be a part of the solution.

And if that's not motivation enough, I will also bribe you to attend:

The first 15 folks to RSVP to me (david_s_mehring@yahoo.com) and attend the retreat on Saturday, will be entered into a drawing to win a TALKING Smoke/Carbon Monoxide Detector ($40 retail value).

You probably have a smoke detector; you may even have a carbon monoxide detector--good for you. But do you have a combination smoke/CO detector that TALKS to you, and will even tell you when its batteries need to be changed? I didn't think so. RSVP to me, attend the retreat, and you could be the proud new owner of such an amazing safety device.

That's all I've got: food, a heart-felt community-oriented call to action and a even blatant bribe to entice you to attend the retreat. I really hope to see you on Saturday. Please come!
