Hi Ursula
I started the "Arnold Street Alert" where we have emails addresses, cell
numbers and landline numbers.  These I printed and laminated for those who
were interested.  It was made clear that the information was for
emergencies ONLY and not an invasion of privacy.  Maybe Strubens could do
the same?
