LTNA has been invited to participate in the Adopt-a -Shoreline project with “For The Love Of The Lake.” We meet the 2nd Saturday of every month. We start by registering at the For the Love of the Lake Office (1152 North Buckner Boulevard, Suite 123) at 8am.  A continental breakfast and clean up supplies are provided. After trash pickup, this month, everyone is invited to come on over to Sunset Bay in White Rock Lake Park and join FTLOTL for a Volunteer Appreciation Picnic. For more information or to join our team contact Pat Watson at 214 531 1299.

Got a car and a pair of eyes? We need you! Become a VIP (Volunteers in Patrol)! VIP is a group of Lakewood Trail Volunteers who patrol in their cars and report anything suspicious to 9-1-1 and 3-1-1. This is a non confrontational group and does not carry weapons. Members choose the time and days they can volunteer. Members must first complete a background check and VIP training through the Dallas Police Department in order to participate. A VIP group is the number one thing a neighborhood can do to help control crime.

The next scheduled VIP training class is on Saturday, October 13th from 10 AM to 4 PM at City Hall.  From Phil Goron, Sr. Corporal, DPD, Northeast Division:

"We will meet at the Northeast police station located at 9915 E NW Hwy at 9:15 AM and take a van to City Hall.  We should return back to the police station around 4:30 pm.  Applicants MUST have their applications, signed waiver of liability, and confidentiality agreement turned in to me no later than Wednesday, October 10th so that I may have time to conduct a background check. Applicants MUST RSVP for this training to ensure there is enough room in the van for all of the students. Thank you, and I look forward to hearing from you!"

You can reach Phil at phillip.gordon@dpd.ci.dallas.tx.us.
