We had an excellent general meeting Thursday evening and we wanted to share with those of you who could not attend.

The agenda of the evening revolved around crime prevention and neighbor participation in crime watch activities. There were 51 of your neighbors in attendance!! In addition, we were joined by MSgt Robert “Officer Bob” Skalla with the Hefner Division of the Oklahoma City Police Department.

HHSNA First Meeting of 2018, Thursday, March 15th 7:00PM

PLEASE MARK YOUR CALENDARS AND PLAN TO JOIN US.

HHSNA will hold our first meeting of 2018, Thursday, March 15th

Northridge Elementary School
7:00 p.m.
Over the last several months, Harvest Hills South has experienced vandalism, break-ins and other issues.  We have heard from several of you and have decided to address these issues.
According to the OKC Police and Neighborhood Alliance, Harvest Hills South has a low crime rate compared to other neighborhoods in the general area.  Something we must keep in mind is that we live in a very large metropolitan city.  As a nice middle class neighborhood we are prone to be targeted by criminals because we are perceived to be easy targets.  Complacency, a feeling that no one will hit us or someone else will take care of the issue, has been and continues to be a problem in our neighborhood.  We are all neighbors and need each others help.
At our meeting, we plan to address these issues and how to combat the problem.  I strongly encourage you and your neighbors to attend this very important meeting.  Without your interest and help, we cannot move forward.  Moving forward, our theme will be “TAKE BACK OUR NEIGHBORHOOD!”
Sandy Payne, President
