Presidents’ Letter Not a joiner? Can't come to themeetings? Don't go out at night? ---It doesn’t matter if you live in NorthCentral. We invite you to join otherswho live here to participate inHANCSM by paying your dues of
$10/person; $20/household; or $25/business annually. The dues help usto publish and mail our quarterlynewsletter.
HANCSM has worked hard toimprove our Quality of Life in NorthCentral. We've worked with theCity to encourage improvements such as the renova-tion of King Center playgrounds and fields, improvingsafety in our area (especially in the 700 block of NorthAmphlett), reporting of general trash in our streets,
directing residents concerns to the right city depart-ments, and notifying residents of the availability of low cost loans to improve homes, minor home repairsand so forth. We've also encouraged the participationof North Central residents in becoming members of
our city's Boards & Commissions so our voices canbe heard. A small group of dedicated residents havebeen working hard to improve and protect our NorthCentral Area. However, we need more folks to joinin our efforts. We all need to step up to the plate towork on TRASH issues once again (seems likeSpring and Summer are dumping times in certain
parts of our neighborhood when people move in andout of crowded residences). Let us not take a stepbackwards in our quest to improvethe appearance of our neighborhoodand the quality of life for all.
Join us at our monthly Boardmeetings on the fourth Thursday of
each month, 6:45 PM at the KingCenter. Quarterly meetings are heldin January, April, July and October.

Community AwarenessAs you all know, Neighborhood Watch is a crime preven-tion program that enlists the active participation of our neighborhood members to help SMPD prevent and reduce
crime. The CERT (Community Emergency ResponseTeam) is made up of residents who are trained to take careof the neighborhood in the aftermath of a major disaster,when first responders are overwhelmed or unable to re-spond. SMPD Chief Manheimer is urging each of us toconsider whether you are prepared. Check your earthquakesupplies and renew your plans and preparations. A goodsource of information for personal and family preparednesscan be found at www.BeReady.org Local resources andadditional information about Neighborhood Watch and‘CERT’ can be found on the City web at:
www.cityofsanmateo.org. The devastating earthquake thatstruck Japan with the associated Tsunami is a reminder tous that we need to “BE READY, BE SAFE, and BE IN-VOLVED”. The City is partnering with the San MateoUnited Homeowners Association to encourage residents to
be prepared and raise awareness through NeighborhoodWatch, Community Preparedness (CERT) programs andour own neighborhood associations.Last quarter I introduced everyone to the web-based appli-cation of www.crimereports.com as a tool to provide up-to-date crime data for incidents occurring in the neighbor-hood.
