New projects include new fencing, more lights, new swings, a natural play area and potentially a shelter house structure. In order to build a new shelter house structure, the existing wooden gazebo will be removed. Understandably, removing the existing wooden gazebo is a big deal and neighbors have strong thoughts about both sides of this issue. SNCO Parks and Recreation representatives have made it clear that we may keep the existing gazebo OR remove it and build a new structure. We may not have both. ?To keep all neighbors informed on the County's plan, CHNA will have an in-person meeting to share information about the park improvements and show photos of the potential shelter house. SNCO Parks and Recreation staff will not attend the meeting. This is an informational meeting for neighbors where neighbors will be asked to vote whether to keep the existing gazebo, or replace it with a new structure. (ONLY College Hill residents may vote. 1 vote per household.) The last time we gathered as a group, at the chili contest in 2019, College Hill neighbors voted on their wishes for Boswell Park and the top vote-getters were:1. A natural play area2. More lighting around the park3. A shelter house in the park4. Gazebo repair Listed below are some examples of the shelter house that would be built in Boswell Park. The photos are to give neighbors a general ideal of the structure. Details like color, railings and inserting a College Hill emblem would be figured in later. If you cannot attend the meeting, but would like to vote, please do so by emailing Christi Stewart with your vote and include your name and address. Please send your vote by 6 p.m., Monday, November, 22 to christiastewart at sbcglobal.net Boswell Park Improvement Meeting7 p.m., Monday, November 22Westminster Presbyterian ChurchIn the Chapel Our neighborhood is a beautiful place filled with caring, hard-working and supportive people. Thank you so much for your interest in this Boswell Park project. We will work together to make Boswell Park a welcoming gathering place for everyone.

Consider giving the gift of empowerment by donating items from our attached wish list for the annual YWCA Center for Safety and Empowerment "Hope for the Holidays" program to support survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, human trafficking and stalking and their families this holiday season. Gift cards and items can be dropped off to our main location at 225 SW 12th Street Topeka, KS 66612 between the hours of 8:30 AM ? 5:30 PM Monday through Friday. To allow clients time to shop for their families, a deadline for donations is set for Friday, December 3rd, 2021 at 5:30 PM to be distributed December 6-10th, 2021. However, gift cards for ?Hope for the Holidays? will be accepted until Monday, December 20th, 2021 at 4:30 PM. Last year, YWCA was able to serve 238 individuals (160 adults and 78 children) through the generosity of the Holiday Store. In the words of a survivor, ?I had to leave everything behind (clothing, toys, mementos) to flee an unsafe situation. [Hope for the Holidays] allows for me to provide my kids with a happy holiday, even though things are uncertain right now.? While the current COVID-19 pandemic has continued to impact the service delivery of YWCA annual holiday giving, YWCA is still on a mission to make this season a little brighter for those who are impacted by domestic violence, sexual assault, human trafficking and stalking. *Emily Steimel-Handy |* Public Education Coordinator, Center for Safety and Empowerment Pronouns: *She/Her/Hers* *T: *(785) 354-7927 ext. 316 * E: *emilys at ywcaneks.org *YWCA of Northeast Kansas* 225 SW 12th Street Topeka, KS 66612 24-hour helpline: 1 (888) 822-2983 www.ywcaneks.org Rachelle Vega-Retana, Grants Administrator City of Topeka, Dept. of Planning & Development Division of Housing Services 620 SE Madison St . 1st Floor ?

I hope you are staying safe and healthy during this difficult time. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. Information covered in this email includes shopping tips, vehicle safety, license plate tips, mail tips. Please share this information with others who may not have email. *Shopping* Shopping will be different this year with COVID-19 since some businesses are requiring masks to enter their business. Please be sure to wear your mask to protect you and the other person. COVID-19 is still spreading so be very careful when you are out and about. Are you going to take advantage of the sales this holiday season? Whether you are committed to Black Friday bargains at midnight, weekday shopping, online purchases or last-minute deals, Safe Streets has a few tips to keep you safe while shopping this holiday season. ? Know your surroundings and put the cell phone away when you?re walking in public. Walk confidently, in well-lit areas, paying attention to the people around you. ? Never leave a purse or wallet unattended ? especially in a shopping cart, vehicle or restroom stall floor. Ladies, consider wearing a ?cross-body? style purse. ? Avoid carrying large amounts of cash and take only the credit card(s) you need. ? Never leave purchases in plain sight in your vehicle. Store them in your trunk or take them home! ? When you put your purchases in your vehicle and plan to go back to purchase more items, move your car to a different location. ? Be patient with people and with other vehicles! If ordering online, here are a couple of things you can do to ensure your package is received: ? Request a signature confirmation of delivery ? Ask neighbors to watch for deliveries and agree to secure each other?s packages ? Deliver to workplace (if allowed) ? Track packages online ? Sign up for text notifications of delivery status. *Protecting Your Vehicle and Belongings* Nothing is more frustrating than going to get in your car, only to find the window smashed and your belongings gone. There are steps you can take to reduce the likelihood of this happening to you. First of all, remove all valuables from sight. A car burglar typically walks through a parking area peering into cars just looking for something of interest to him or her. If you have a removable (pullout) stereo or faceplate, that is ideal! If not, at least remove accessories that may draw attention to the stereo. (CDs, tapes, remotes, etc.) Also, remove cell phones, briefcases, and duffle bags. Do not leave loose change in the cup holder or ash tray - that may attract a thief. Law enforcement reminds us to never leave a gun in your vehicle. *License plates* Next time you go to a hardware store, purchase a couple of ?tamper resistant bolts.? Replace the screws that secure your license plate to your car with these. This will slow down anyone trying to steal your plate because they will need a special tool and will likely just move to the next car. In addition, when you put your next registration sticker on your vehicle, remove the old ones layered underneath. If your sticker is securely adhered to the metal plate and someone tries to peel it off it will pull apart and void the sticker. If you have layered the sticker already, you may want to use a razor blade and carve an ?X? through the sticker. This will discourage a thief who will see the sticker coming off in four little parts if they try to remove it. *To keep your car from becoming a statistic: * ? Always lock all doors. ? Roll windows up tight. ? Park in heavily traveled areas. ? Don't hide spare keys-they can be found. ? Don't think it can't happen to you - act before, not after the crime. While you've been reading this information, 10 cars were stolen in this country. They were stolen because the opportunity was there. If you have taken these protective measures, you may deter the theft of your car and save yourself a lot of money and inconvenience! *Mail* A neighborhood told me that someone is taking mail out of their mailbox. Just a reminder, it is best to take the mail to the post office because once a person puts mail in the mailbox with the flag up, it is an opportunity for someone to know that a person may be paying a bill or other mail that might have their personal information. If a person is not able to take mail to the post office, it might be good to know about when the mail carrier is in your neighborhood. Please let me know if I can provide specific information to you. As always, we are here to help make neighborhoods safe.

New projects include new fencing, more lights, new swings, a natural play area and potentially a shelter house structure. In order to build a new shelter house structure, the existing wooden gazebo will be removed. Understandably, removing the existing wooden gazebo is a big deal and neighbors have strong thoughts about both sides of this issue. SNCO Parks and Recreation representatives have made it clear that we may keep the existing gazebo OR remove it and build a new structure. We may not have both. To keep all neighbors informed on the County's plan, CHNA will have an in-person meeting to share information about the park improvements and show photos of the potential shelter house. SNCO Parks and Recreation staff will not attend the meeting. This is an informational meeting for neighbors where neighbors will be asked to vote whether to keep the existing gazebo, or replace it with a new structure. (ONLY College Hill residents may vote. 1 vote per household.) The last time we gathered as a group, at the chili contest in 2019, College Hill neighbors voted on their wishes for Boswell Park and the top vote-getters were: 1. A natural play area 2. More lighting around the park 3. A shelter house in the park 4. Gazebo repair Listed below are some examples of the shelter house that would be built in Boswell Park. The photos are to give neighbors a general ideal of the structure. Details like color, railings and inserting a College Hill emblem would be figured in later. If you cannot attend the meeting, but would like to vote, please do so by emailing Christi Stewart with your vote and include your name and address. Please send your vote by 6 p.m., Monday, November, 22 to christiastewart at sbcglobal.net Boswell Park Improvement Meeting7 p.m., Monday, November 22Westminster Presbyterian ChurchIn the Chapel Our neighborhood is a beautiful place filled with caring, hard-working and supportive people.
