Dear University Park Neighbor,

The following are the announcements for November 2011. Be sure to mark your calendars for the Annual Sing and Sleigh on December 4th, at Observatory Park.

- Are cars speeding on your street? You can catch speeding cars in our neighborhood. Here’s how:
- Cory-Merrill RNO is hosting a training session on how to use a speed-detector radar gun on Wednesday November 2, 6:15 p.m. at Kirk of Bonnie Brae, 1201 S, Steele Street. After this quick training, you may check out the radar equipment at Police Dist. 3, and monitor traffic where you think it is speeding. If you “catch” a speeder, you need to write down the license plate of the offender (so it might be good to do this in pairs) and send it and the speed clocked, to Dist. 3. Police will issue a firm official Warning to the owner of the car. District 3 says this is very effective. You need to RSVP to Don Tressler donaldtressler@comcast.net ahead of time.
- Ross Hill Library will be closed from November 1 – mid to late December. You will need to return and check out books at another location.
