HELP IS ONLY A PHONE CALL AWAY:

Thanks to Bob Wachowicz (prez of Village 4) for the following information. I thought it valuable enough to pass along to V2 residents:
From time to time we discover new ways to make life a little more easy and secure. The Scottsdale Police Department, in conjunction with the Scottsdale Area Association of Realtors, has a great new program they are offering to residents. They have recently initiated a "Lock Box" program similar to the boxes that realtors use. These are used by both police and fire departments. In an instance from a simple "I've locked myself out" to an emergency, the responding agency that is called to your residence will be able to access information on their computers alerting them to the fact that you have a lock box on your property and the box's location. This has the potential of saving a lot of response time and any worry on your part. No longer will you have to rely on a neighbor being home to unlock your condo for them. There is a one-time fee of $25, and the box will be installed for you by SPD. If you would like more information on this program, please call Korry Sneed, who is the Program Coordinator, at 480-312-0275. Oh, yes...only the police and fire departments know the access code to the box.
Thanks, Bob, for the heads-up. Always a super feeling knowing that among the Villages there is a great spirit of cooperation!!!
