Successful Annual Meeting

For the 54th year in a row, Broadmoor held a successful annual meeting Sunday afternoon. We had a great crowd of active neighbors.

City Director Doris Wright, who represents our ward, attended and spoke on a variety of issues of interest to attendees. Topics included the recently passed yard parking ordinance that we supported.

At-Large City Director Joan Adcock spoke to us about the upcoming Neighborhoods USA conference. We will be co-hosting a neighborhood tour with our friends in Fair Park and at UALR. Director Adcock asked that we all pitch in and volunteer at the conference.

We heard a very encouraging Neighborhood Watch report. Board member Steve Sullivan introduced Adjutant Sergeant Zebbie Burnett of the Little Rock Police Department's Northwest Patrol Division. Sergeant Burnett showed us crime statistics for the past year that are lower than the year before. He attributes some of that success o watchful neighbors. One vigilant Broadmoor resident was mentioned who called 911 after observing suspicious activity. The caller gave police a license plate number. That call led to the police arresting a burglar and clearing approximately 15 cases.

The board reported on last years accomplishments, and we had a good discussion of ongoing opportunities.

We look forward to another great year in Broadmoor. Come join us!
