The City of Wauwatosa wants to partner with Neighborhood Associations on the installation of street signs to identify each of the 29 Neighborhood Associations in Wauwatosa.  The PPNA is looking into this program and will be meeting this Saturday, September 19th at 10am at Cranky Al’s to discuss the possibility of PPNA signage.  Please join us if you have an interest in this project, questions and/or ideas about anything concerning our new membership year, which will start October 1st.  Look for your paper newsletter to be delivered in October and mark your calendar for our Membership Drive, October 26th.

Safety Coordinator Volunteer

The Wauwatosa Police Department is hoping to work with neighborhood associations more closely to help keep Tosa a safe place to live, work and play.  Block Watch Captains are assigned to each block in Pabst Park, but not all Block Captains are members of the PPNA.  We would love to foster more communication with the PPNA, WPD and Block Watch Captains by having a Safety Coordinator to help get everyone on the same page.  The NAC is hosting a Summer Meeting at the TOSA Pool on July 23, 2015 at 6:30pm.  The focus is on public safety and the WFD and WPD will be presenting information at this meeting.  While anyone is welcome to attend, I would really love to have a volunteer interested in being our PPNA Safety Coordinator attend with me.  If you have any questions or an interest in filling the Safety Coordinator role, please contact Tammy Crouch at pabstpark@gmail.com.
