Membership Drive 2011
Letter to all current and past members (click here)
All 2010 memberships expired Febuary 1, 2011. The SACA board of directors voted to reduce membership to only $10 annually for 2010 and 2011. Although membership is voluntary, the Civic Association really needs your membership. Throughout the year many projects are planned to improve our neighborhood. The more members we have, the more projects we can accomplish. In the past two years, some of the projects we have accomplished have included; Bridge Cleanup Day, landscaping, new neighborhood signs, traffic safety projects, Crime Watch signs & program, and drainage project implementation. Along with these projects, the board persues several grants each year. This past year, we were successful on three grants totaling approximately $10,000. This grant money is usually matched by labor or cash. We have some very ambitious projects planned for 2011. Our board is completely composed of volunteers and they work on these projects for the sole purpose of improving our neighborhoods.

Annual Membership is only $10 per family (Update: Button works properly)

Neighborhood Crime Watch Program
SPPD updates information sent to www. crimereports.com twice a day. This is a very simple graphical website which maps out all the crimes that the SPPD responds to within your search radius. You can even set it up so that you receive an e-mail whenever crime occurs within a search radius.
During the November Meeting, several folks volunteered to become block captains in the crime watch program. If you would like to volunteer, please contact Fred Walker via e-mail at fwalker5@tampabay.rr.com Shore Acres was approved for a grant for t-shirts and caps for crimewatch volunteers as well as several crimewatch signs for the neighborhood hot-spots.
