Safety Update – Keith Swanson
Update regarding the Level 3 Sex Offender: He has a parole violation and is currently being held, possibly until his sentencing in June.
There have been several forced-entry burglaries in Armatage in the past month. Doors have been kicked in (reminding us that you need to have 3-inch screws securing the deadbolt) or door glass broken to gain entry (some on dwellings, some garages). There has also been an increase in auto thefts (both vehicles and vehicle contents). Be sure to keep things locked up.
Armatage365 Photography Project – Noah Schuchman
Currently in the third week. Things are going smoothly. Have gotten some great pictures already. Keep spreading the word and sharing the website (www.armatage365.org). We have Armatage365 business cards available for the photographers and board members who wish to spread the word. The photographers are having an Happy Hour tomorrow at 5:00pm at Maude’s for a chance to get to meet each other.
Additional photos taken each day are loaded into a Flickr pool (link on website) for those interested. Other 365 neighborhood programs have linked to our page (and us to them).

New Business
Keith asked if we thought the ANA should post something about the national award the Armatage Montessori principal received. There didn’t appear to be much interest.
