PNP Receives Additional Funds
I wanted to let all PNP members know [the ones that I have an email for - right now] that I had recently contacted the 2007 Block Watch grant recipients that had a PNP component in their grant request and reminded them that their grant money expires June 30th. [the original email is below]  And if they did not have anything else that they were going to purchase with their grant money, that instead of letting the grant money disappear, they could request that it be reallocated to benefit the citywide PNP program.  Because there were 21 grants just a few dollars could make a big difference for us, i.e. $10 in each one would give us $210!!
The great news is that one of the grant recipient groups -
Arcadia West Neighborhood Association
had a lot of money that they were willing to share with us and we now have $426 coming our way, many thanks to them!  This will help us out greatly with the shirts, signs, etc.
On behalf of the entire Phoenix Neighborhood Patrol Program, we would like to send a heartfelt "Thank You" to the Arcadia West Neighborhood Association!  This was very generous and I hope you know what a difference you all have made!
