We are a local network that provides information and resources, so that you can make more informed and educated decisions in your selection of candidates and government measures. Our mission is to present information regarding national, state and local issues. We are in alliance with other regional conservative organizations, including, San Gorgonio Pass Republican Women Federated, Unite Inland Empire and the Republican Party of Riverside County. For more information, contact us at: FourSeasonsRepublicans@gmail.com. *Note: The HOA does not have any officially recognized political club or group. However, California law changed and now requires associations to allow political interest meetings in HOA common areas. April showers bring May flowers, so I hope this finds all of your beautiful gardens blooming with the vibrant colors of spring! I also hope you all have received your second COVID vaccine and feel healthy. We will have an in-person meeting on Wednesday, June 9 at 10 am in the Ballroom. We look forward to seeing all of you and encourage everyone to attend our first in-person meeting in over a year! In March, the Neighborhood Watch Steering Committee hosted a Zoom meeting for our residents. We discussed the Neighborhood Watch Block Captain Program, and put out an invitation to those who may be interested in becoming Block Captains for their street. Volunteering to become a Block Captain is simple, and requires very little of your time. When it is safe to gather again, we will offer a short training session for new Block Captains. As Block Captains, we keep residents abreast of safety issues, possible evacuations, planned power outages, and other pertinent information. We are always in need of Block Captains, so please contact me at dgilbreth52@gmail. com if you would like information. Thank you! Officer Robert Loza and Volunteer Citizen on Patrol Officer George Diggs from the Beaumont Police Department presented information about safety issues in Four Seasons and in the city of Beaumont. Officer Loza advised residents of a current rash of credit card skimmer devices being used locally, and to be very aware when using any card reader when accessing your account or funds. Also discussed were motorcycles being ridden and gunfire that occurs on weekends in the foothills south of Four Seasons. Officer Loza stated that BPD is aware of both issues, and dispatches available officers when a call is received. Traffic gridlock on Highland Springs Avenue, 2nd Street, as well as the I-10 freeway on and off ramps was discussed. Officer Loza stated that blocking an intersection is against the law, and drivers can be cited for doing so. He advised that patience is needed, and to not enter the intersection if you can see that traffic is already congested and you will be unable to complete your left turn during the green light cycle. The Neighborhood Watch Committee always encourages residents to follow the City of Beaumont's motto, "If you see something, say something," by contacting the Beaumont Police Department. Please never attempt to intervene, follow or make contact with someone you believe is acting suspiciously or has committed a crime! Your safety is always our primary goal! ~ Donna Gilbreth, dgilbreth52@gmail. com 20 FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | MAY 2021 Neighborhood Watch
