Spring is Coming and so is St. Patrick’s Day, which means the displayin’ of the green. But not the displayin’ of the RED and Green, so if you still have Christmas decorations up outside your home, it’s time to take them down (just a friendly reminder).
Potomac Club Front Desk: Please remember that ALL residents are required to check in at the front desk using their Lansdowne ID card for scanning before participating in any activity at the club (including swim lessons, meetings, gym use, etc.). Guests may use guest passes, but a resident has to be with them.
Neighborhood Watch Seminar: From Gabe Vargas, committee chair:
The “Personal Safety for Kids” seminar on February 20th was a great success; we had one of the best turnouts with approximately 85 people, of which 41 were children.

We will continue to sponsor additional seminars in the months to come which will vary in topics:
·Burglary Prevention – Wednesday, March 10, 2010 @ 7 PM
·Internet Safety – Wednesday, April 21, 2010 @ 7 PM
·Personal Safety for Women, Saturday, May 22, 2010 @ 10 AM
