Broadmoor History Committee

Please join us at the Broadmoor Clubhouse on Saturday, April 20th at 9:30 for coffee & donuts!

We will be starting our dual projects of rewriting our bylaws/bill of assurance and also creating a workable and usable Archive for the History of the Broadmoor Neighborhood.

This is a massive undertaking and many hands make the work lighter! Coffee & Donuts make it lighter also!

Join us for the full two hours or just a part of that time.

Help us sort, bundle and file all the information that has been gathered over the past 64 years! Yep, it has been a long time since the original bill of assurances were issued!

The filing cabinets, books, minutes, plat maps, etc need to be tidied up and organized.

We have been made aware the CALS – Central Arkansas Library System will also archive our information once we get organized. More to come on that later.

The “History Club” will meet the second Saturday of each month at 9:30am until 11:30am. So, join us any month you are available and tell your neighbors. Bring with you ANY printed info from Broadmoor past, any photos, any old directories – anything you think might be of value for the archives.

Hope to see you at the Clubhouse – located in the Park with the main entrance at the walkway between #19 & #21 Belmont Drive.

Thanks and see you there!

From St. Charles Crime Watch

From Det. Brett Stewart of the NW Property Crimes Division: If you see a silver/gray Chrysler 300 with a partial license plate of 036 with unknown letters (covered with a Landers plate cover), please call 911. The driver is wanted for possibly being involved in burglaries in west Little Rock.
 
Northwest Property Crimes
Office: 501.918.3545
Cell: 501.772.4475
Fax: 501.918.3550

From Fair Park: A person was rear-ended at the light at Fair Park and I-630 this morning. The person who hit him fled the scene in a silver car (perhaps foreign made?) with license #322SHE. Insurance might cover, but this is pretty low (not to mention illegal and dangerous), to flee before exchanging information. Call 911 if you see this one, too!

LRPD Incident Reports Now on Ark. Dem-Gaz Website

Note, you probably must be a subscriber to the newspaper to get this information, but the Democrat-Gazette is now posting crime reports from the Little Rock Police Department daily--or as soon as they receive it from the police.

Link: http://www.arkansasonline.com/right2know/lrpdreports/

They include a map of the incidents.

This is especially helpful to find out what the current burglary pattern is. Daytime burglaries move around town based on who has been arrested recently and who is currently out of jail. If we see a cluster developing in Broadmoor, we can expect more burglaries over a one to two week period until the criminals are caught.

Remember-lock your doors, set your alarm, make it look and sound like you are home.

Above all, make sure your neighbors know you and watch out for you. Also, make sure they can see your house and their view is not obstructed by things like bushes.

Always, always, always call 911 when you see something suspicious. The police do not mind. They depend on observant citizens!

(1st Thursday of each month) The first Yard of the Month recognition for the 2013 season goes to #34 Berkshire. This place has the resemblance of a “Patio Home”.
