I like Marc's suggestion about encouraging residents to volunteer their time. What if there was a placard that participants could put up on their wall, to show that they're involved, and to encourage others to participate?
Here's an example of the kind of thing I mean. (I just knocked this up to give a flavour of the idea. The details could change. I switched it to four hours a month because I thought people could get into volunteering just one hour a week. And that facebook group doesn't exist yet...) <https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-9VSrxffnieg/VYp8zDRWZ4I/AAAAAAAAAnE/gRLZKJRgvWo/s1600/Working%2Bon%2BObs.jpg> -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- OPS [Obsid Public Safety] - 24/7 control room TEL: 021-447-1066 or 072-063-1653 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- EMERGENCIES: 10111 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ONW email: [email protected] WEB: www.obswatch.org.za FACEBOOK: facebook.com/obswatch ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Useful Obs Numbers: obs.org.za/obsdir You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups The Observatory Neighbourhood watch group.
