Park Volunteers Needed
It's that time of the year again when the weeds start to overtake our
beautiful park. Volunteers are needed to assist in some basic
landscaping services.
Rather than have one big cleanup day this year because of the varying
schedules of our Erlton South residents, the Civic Association is
asking for you to donate some time at your choosing.
If you are interested in helping, please contact Pat Stewart, the
Civic Association's Gardening Coordinator at 428-1793 who will advise
you as to what areas need attention.
As always, thank you for your participation in preserving the beauty
of our neighborhood.

CHPD: Reverse 911 System
Cherry Hill has begun sharing services and utilizing Camden County's
Reverse 911 Community Notification System as an additional tool to
alert residents of important and significant Township messages. The
Reverse 911 system allows for rapid telephone notification
Township-wide or to specific geographical areas of the Township. The
system will be used for important Township alerts only, including but
not limited to emergency evacuations, missing person alerts, natural
disaster alerts, hazardous material leaks, search and rescue
operations, crime prevention, neighborhood emergency incidents, special
community notifications and Homeland Security information.
Our first phone call was distributed this past Wednesday and informed
residents of an imposter alert being disseminated by the Cherry Hill
Police Department. The Reverse 911 system will automatically place a
call to residential landline telephone numbers within a specific
geographic area and will deliver the relevant recorded message. If
phone lines are busy, the system will attempt to redial those numbers
to make contact. If an answering machine or voicemail system picks up
the call, the emergency message will be left on the machine/voicemail.
When you get a Reverse 911 call, you will receive specific instructions
on what to do, where to go, or how and where to obtain additional
information. Should you have any questions, please contact the Mayor's
office at 856-488-7878.

Break-ins on the Rise
A number of homes have been broken into over the past several months
and we want to make sure that you are informed when they occur. Please
contact Dan DiRenzo at
erltonsouthcivicassociation@yahoo.com and give
him your email address so we can put you on our list. We are happy to
do this; even if you are not a member of the ESCA.
The most recent break-ins were on Park Blvd and on Park Drive (first
block off of Park Blvd). Both occurred during the afternoon, through a
broken rear window. The perpetrators went straight for the master
bedroom and took jewelry and small electronics including a computer.
They were in and out of the homes in just minutes. So even if your home
is equipped with an alarm system, they are able to get your valuables
and get out before police are notified.
Please make sure your windows and doors are locked at all times. If you
come home and your door is open or you notice a broken window, do not
enter your home. Instead call 911 and wait until police arrive to enter
your home. Do not keep your jewelry in your master bedroom in your
jewelry box. Hide it somewhere less obvious, but don't forget where!
If you are at home during the day, please report any suspicious
activity, cars, people, etc to the police. The Police department would
rather get a call that turns out to be nothing, than not get
information at all.
More information about how to protect your home is available by
contacting the Cherry Hill Community Policing Department at (856)
488-7828.
