Meadowgreen Community Association AGM

On October 2nd the Meadowgreen Community Association held its Annual General Meeting.  Inspector Yuzdepski,Central Division, Saskatoon Police Department was on hand to discuss how to reduce break and enters into homes and thefts from vehicles.  He noted that property crimes in Meadowgreen are down 15% over the past five years.  Inspector Yuzdepski encouraged people to ensure that their home looked lived in, to know their neighbors and to keep valuables out of sight (close your curtains at night so people don't see your large screen tv).  He also encouraged people to call the Saskatoon Police to report crimes or things that look suspicious (like kids trying car door handles) since even if the police don't show up they are driven by crime statistics.  That means that the more calls an area receives the more that they are likely to patrol that area.  The discussion on all kinds of issues in the community were discussed and Inspector Yuzdepski encouraged people to contact Bob Roy, Community Watch Director if they had any concerns.  Bob sits on the Central Districts Community Committee which discusses issues that affect the neighborshoods from the river to Circle Drive and 11th Street to 33rd Street. Inspector Yuzdepski was thanked for coming out on his 2nd day on the job by Pat Tymchatyn, President.
The Annual General Meeting was called to order at 7:45 by Pat and Hannah Chukwu was appointed secretary.  The minutes were accepted from the November 3rd, 2011 meeting and the financial review was given by Vicki Roy.
Pat noted that Meadowgreen has many talented people and what does it take to get them involved in the Community Association.  The Executive was elected for 2012 - 2013
