Greater Mission Bend Area Council

Saturday, June 26 the Greater Mission Bend Area Council will host a Town Hall meeting for the citizens of the Greater Mission Bend Area.  The focus of the meeting will be on issues of crime in our community and the steps we can all take to make our community a safer place to live.

The meeting will be held at Mission Bend United Methodist Church at 3710 Highway 6 South (just south of Wal-Mart).  The church web site is www.mbumc.org and includes a map of the location.  The meeting will begin with a registration at 8:45 and will continue until 1:00 PM.  This will be a dynamic and informative meeting and will provide useful information about how to deal with crime in our community.  Representatives of communities outside of the Mission Bend area are welcome to attend.

Our special guest speaker will be Fort Bend County District Attorney John Healey.  Mr. Healey talk will be followed by presentations from local law enforcement agencies regarding crime prevention.  This meeting is designed to give our citizens real and valuable information about how to address the problem of crime in our community.

This meeting will also present information about forming a crime watch program in your local neighborhood.  There will be a special workshop dedicated to actually setting up crime watch programs.  Check back for the date of this workshop.

WHAT:   The GMBAC will offer a workshop for HOA board members and staff of property management companies.  The topics will focus on the responsibilities of board members and working with attorneys and property managers.  Information will also cover how to deal with civil suits, issues with security, grants and fundraising, and architectural controls.  This will be a great opportunity to network with fellow HOA board members and to learn from each others experiences. 

A catered box lunch will be provided.  Board member Terry Blair has graciously volunteered his Mother to bake pies for this occasion.  This is a real “treat”.
