SSD Meeting Minutes - Spring 2012

We had a nice turnout last night — about 20 residents, from Vendome to Versailles, attended the SSD All-Neighbor Meeting held at Dominican High School.  Speakers included Councilmember Susan Guidry, NOPD Community Coordinator Sgt. Ernie Joseph and Quality of Life Officer Wilfred Eddington.  We received a bunch of home energy saving tips from David Cody at Green Coast Enterprises, as well as Kerry Jones, Customer Service Manager at Entergy.  Finally, the group learned all about security cameras from ProjectNOLA director Bryan Lagarde.

Some highlights:

• NOPD says “Call 911” whenever you observe anyone unusual “cruising the neighborhood” — they are often casing homes and vehicles as potential targets.
• Ready to get a surveillance camera setup for under $300?  Call Bryan Lagarde at 504-298-9117.  WE NEED MORE CAMERAS IN THE AREA!
• Cn Guidry reports good progress on development along the Carrollton corridor, especially the new Winn-Dixie Market being built near the Lafitte Greenway.
• Some free draft stoppers were handed out along with informative “Energy Savings” brochures; we have extras, if you are interested.

Next: Someone should host a pot-luck party!  (I’ll order the barricades…)
