  1. Introductions:  18 people present.  Sgt. K mentioned that Halloween is coming up, and for everyone to be aware of children walking on the roads.  The hours are from 6-9 p.m. and he recommended that kids have reflective materials on their costumes or at least, flashlights so that they are more visible. Also, talk to your children about remembering to cross roads at cross walks, and be careful when crossing.  If you are participating in Halloween, keep your porch light on.  If you find candy that is open, do not eat it, and if you have any concerns, you can drop it off at the fire dept. His phone number is 272-7488.  He also is working on the problem of parking at Lewton (in no parking areas) and also kids walking home from Rich in the middle of the street.
