Dale’s favorite thing about living in Lakes of Savannah is his neighbors. He said, “We feel the neighbors in our area are the best neighbors we have ever had.” Dale volunteered for the Neighborhood Watch Committee because he feels it is needed in the community. He served on the committee prior to volunteering to be the committee co-chair in January. Dale explained, “the number one priority of the Neighborhood Watch Committee is to get all neighborhoods involved in watching out for each other; getting to know your neighbors and helping create a safe neighborhood.” Dale said the most important thing residents can do to keep the neighborhood safe a prevent crime is getting to know your neighbors. He encourages residents to know what kind of cars your neighbors drive, share email addresses and cell phone and home phone numbers. Dale said, “Our neighborhood has a spreadsheet that most of the neighbors information is on, so we can call each other if we see anything suspicious going on.” Dale said his biggest challenge as co-chair of the Neighborhood Watch Committee is getting residents to attend the committee meetings. He invites all residents to attend. e Neighborhood Watch Committee meetings are the first Tuesday of each month at 7 p.m. at the clubhouse.
