New Business

We had two guest speakers at the meeting, temporary NPO M.G. Clark and Fire Engine 3 team from next door. 

NPO Clark discussed the status of NPO Franey.  He will not be returning as our NPO.  Our new NPO will be Officer Schreves.  Officer Clark mentioned that Officer Schreves had a very low tolerance for criminals and a lot of dedication to the job.  He is sure we will like him.  He was pleased to announce that the Garland Police had arrested a couple of heavy hitters in crime activity last weekend.  He reminded everyone to please not be afraid to use 911 if we see something suspicious.  They would rather answer some calls that may not end up being urgent than miss out on something important. 

The guy of Fire Engine 3, who work at the Fire Station next to the church also visited us to discuss Christmas safety.  Some topics discussed were holiday decorating safety, cooking safety and Christmas tree safety.  They provided handouts on these subjects that are available for viewing at www.garlandfire.com.
