SECURITY ALERT

Dateline November 14, 2008 – Reports of break-ins continue in the Las Palmas neighborhood, most recently on W Hermosa where a garage door was kicked in and the contents stolen in broad daylight. Homes undergoing renovation in the neighborhood have also been hit by break-ins. Please be on the lookout for suspicious activity in Old Las Palmas, especially around homes where construction work is ongoing, and report any concerns to the Palm Springs Police (323-8116) and/or Maxwell Security (770-8249 or 272-1212). If your home currently has work crews going in and out, take extra care to secure the property when they leave.

TRAFFIC ALERT

ON THE SUBJECT OF E-MAIL

The organization incurs significant expense because of the need to send information to OLP residents by ordinary mail. Communications can be faster and more efficient if we have a current e-mail address for you. If you have recently changed your e-mail account, or have not previously provided an e-mail address, please provide your e-mail address to the OLPNO administrator at info@olpno.com
