We have sold our home in the SACNW area, but would like to put in a plug for this great group. I also remember the meetings when Dr. Lala organized the group. Amanda is correct, it became much more manageable when we made the areas smaller. Most of all we had a very determined and dedicated group of individuals who directed the group to where it is today. Getting together for potluck dinners, Xmas , Halloween projects, sign painting for the kids really helped families get to know each other and consequently look out for each other. Not everyone in a group will be happy with every decision, but working together for the common good of all the neighbors would be a good start to get your group going in the right direction.
