Thank you to All who Participated in Our shakeout Drill

Written by

Our new Shakeout event with gathering at the Pools went well this year for our first time!

Our overall results compared satisfactorily with other HOAs.  We recorded 79 (35%) participant households, which is down a little from last year’s 87.  Compared to other HOA’s, we were about in the middle of all HOAs, with some increasing their numbers and others going down.

Ideally we would like to see higher participation rates but we also realize this was our first time with a new process.

Thanks again to all who participated!

CHOA Looking for Volunteers to help with Charbonneau Neighborhood Watch Program

Written by

Please not that CCC is working to organize a Charbonneau wide Neighborhood Watch program. CHOA is looking for some folks to volunteer to join this effort. If you are interested, please let me know- Barry -hbgconsulting@gmail.com or 503-754-0322.

Please see letter below from CCC:

“To All Charbonneau HOA Presidents and EPPS Key Captains:

In response to an increase in neighborhood crimes in Charbonneau over the past couple of years, the Emergency Preparedness and Public Safety Committee (EPPS) has decided to establish Neighborhood Watch (NW) programs throughout Charbonneau.  As an EPPS committee member, I have volunteered to lead this endeavor and I introduced the idea to the Key Captains who tuned in to the Zoom meeting held this past week, and they unanimously agreed to the idea.

Using Charbonneau’s established HOA areas, we are asking the Key Captains and HOA Presidents to help get this set up by recruiting volunteers to monitor and administer the program. Many people have expressed concerns about increased crime; YOU best know your residents and who might be open to being involved.  Before you start recruiting NW Leaders, please read about the National Neighborhood Watch program on the website: www.nnw.org. It will provide you with many answers to questions you might have as to how it works. This program was first established 50 years ago in 1972, and today has the backing of the Clackamas County Sheriff’s department who will be involved with helping us. The NNW website will give you instructions on how to set up your neighborhoods most effectively. To begin with, I am suggesting that at least two NW Leaders be assigned on each major street.

I plan to have the first organizational meeting with the NW Leaders you have recruited on March 15th at 4:00 pm in the CCC dining room, during which myself and other EPPS members will try to answer any questions you might have and help you as we move forward.

On April 20th we will have our first official meeting in the CCC Pavilion building at 4:00 pm with Sarah McClurg from the Clackamas County Sheriff’s Dept., which will be for all of the NW Leaders to attend. Sara will give us the details on how the program works and how it coordinates with local law enforcement.  She also will order signage and literature to share with each NW Leader.

I will check back with you around March 1st for an update as to how you are progressing with assembling your NW Leaders and hope you will be able to provide me with a list of names, home addresses, and email addresses. In the meantime, please feel free to contact me with any questions.

Thank you,

Spencer Groshong
