If anyone has noticed, I always try to bring up monthly fun, national and international holidays and observances, but there are so many I don’t always hit maybe ones our residents see as popular so forgive me! In June, as in any other month, there are holidays/observances that should bring a smile to your face, like June 1st, “Say Something Nice Day (smile); June 2nd, Leave the office early day (if you work…ha ha); June 6th, National Higher Education Day, always push ourselves to be better young and old; June 12th, Red Rose day (love the smell); June 18th, International Picnic Day…so pack your baskets and spread your blankets; June 19th, Juneteenth celebrates “Freedom Day”, the anniversary of Emancipation that abolished slavery; June 21st, Father’s Day, how they play an important role in our lives from childhood to adult-hood; and finally if you have a “corvette” day, its your day…zoom zoom.
All holidays and observances aside, here in Towne Park our next event will be AARP’s Smart Driver Course on June 20th from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM in the Clubhouse. This class is very interesting and informative and will help you get a discount from your auto insurance company that can range from 10 to 20% depending on your provider. Light luncheon will be served. This discount is a help, in this day and age where prices of any kind are going up and up!!!
Lastly I would like to invite any gal/guy who would have some extra time (what’s that!!) to join our hard working, enthusiastic and fun loving social committee. We do not have regular meetings, just planning meetings when an event is coming up and normally on Fridays at 1:00 PM. If you are interested, I would love to hear from you and get involved.
Enjoy our community and Enjoy Life!!

NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH
INFORMATION FROM THE FOOTHILLS AREA COMMAND
Interim Commander Richard Whitten in April’s newsletter informs us that the APD is initiating two projects to address homelessness:
1. Median Operation
2. Encampment Operation
For the Median Operation, the police will inspect intersections where people experiencing homelessness frequently gather. Depending on the intersection, improvements to the area can be considered including an ordinance signage. For the first violation, officers will document it and issue a written warning to the individual. For the second violation, officers will issue a citation and ask the individual to leave the area.
For the Encampment Operation, the police department continues to address safety concerns with no set end date. Officers work along side specialized teams to handle criminal violations found. The teams involved are:
a) Neighborhood Engagement and Support Team
b) Crisis Intervention Unit
c) Mobile Crisis Team
d) Police Service Aides
e) Transit Safety Officers
f) Proactive Response Team
g) Field Service Bureau
Helen Martin, attended the Neighborhood Watch Conference which took place at the Police Station on 2nd Street on April 25. The main theme of this event was to inform attendees on how APD is addressing car speeders and how the department is apprehending violators.

SPRUCING UP YOUR HOME?
ACC POINT OF VIEW
Thank you to all the Residents maintaining their Homes and keeping our Community looking good. If you have a project you’ve been putting off, or if you feel over-whelmed, check with us. We may have some good ideas for you. It takes all of us working together and we are happy to help. Be sure and keep your inside yards tidy and clean. We have such great weather, create a little serenity garden so you can enjoy your yard. Put out a bird bath or feeder and enjoy nature. We all need a quiet oasis for our mental health. Walk around Towne Park and enjoy our beautiful Parks. Take time to enjoy the Sunsets!!! It’s great to have such a peaceful place to come home to.

Towne Park Approved Paint and Stucco Color Information
Since Home Depot moved their paint department they have tossed out all paper files, now you have to give them the Towne Park office phone # 505-291-8379. That number will pull up all our colors. I have attached the colors here for you to save. You will also find this information in the Towne Park Clubhouse Office.
Towne Park Approved Paint Colors Chico tan is for block walls. El Ray Bamboo 105 is the stucco color only if you do a total repaint or re-stucco.
For a touchup, you will need to do a color match of your current stucco color.
