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.

We have friends that live in Kingsbridge Court.  The wife worked last night and was followed home at 5:00 this morning.  When she got out of her car in the driveway a couple of Spanish guys ran up to her and told her to give them her purse and car keys.  She turned around and ran to the front door and kicked it.  Her husband was up and opened the door immediately and watched the guys jump back in their car and take off.  They took off so fast that they ran into the back of a van that was parked on the street.  They were in a new blue Camry that has got to have damage to the front because of running into the van.  

She is okay and probably should not have run because she could have been shot.
