LAST NIGHT- TUESDAY OCTOBER 6 ,WE HAD
The resident attendance was excellent.The big surprise was the number and rank of the law enforcement officers that attended.
All in all, we had 7 officers ,including 3 captains,and 2 lieutenants. One interesting attendee was a member of the elite ,motorcycle unit.
Captain Torres, from headquarters division, gave a wonderful, detailed presentation of the function and duties of the sheriff's office. The captain also presented the Fairways community, with a certificate of appreciation, for having the night out.
Also in attendance was the commander of the Orange County SWAT team. This was somewhat unusual, as the SWAT people tend to keep a low public profile.Some members of our local ''Fairways Defenders'' gun club, enjoyed a one on one conversation with the SWAT team captain.
From the local Sector 2 command staff, we had Lieutenant Strange, one of the watch commanders.
After answering all of the residents questions--the officers were the last to leave---The captains left in their unmarked vehicles and the ''motors'' deputy on his beautiful Harley bike!
A special thank you to Deputy 1/c Belmont for arranging all of the ''high class''visits.
On a special note---Deputy Belmont will be changing positions on the Sector 2 staff. Effective soon she will be assigned to the ''special project'' officer staff, joining our ''good friend''--Deputy Jason Murrill.
We have worked with Jason over the past several years, with great results.
THANK YOU ALL--IT WAS A GREAT NIGHT!

A SPECIAL COMMENT
Every time that Fairways Watch has had a security program,--we have been so fortunate to have the ''behind the scenes,--undercover'' volunteers. These are the folks that move the tables and chairs,--pick up the trash, help with the food and all the other work that the attending residents enjoy.
Last nite we had --Randy and Kathy Muehl---Fran and Mike Ragsdale--Jim Wood--Judy Michalski and other busy hands.
A big super thank you to all that helped make this a very nice experience!
