Block Rep Meeting — Neighborhood Watch by Dennis Clougherty I would like to intoduce myself: my name is Dennis Clougherty and I currently sit on the Chapman Woods Board in charge of the Neighborhood Watch. I grew up in Chapman Woods and now live here with my wife and children. I have witnessed several changes over the past 20 years. Our once quiet community has lately fallen victim to criminals who steal our possessions and vandalize our properties. It is my intention to mobilize a Neighborhood Watch program, which will help us to thwart crime in our beautiful neighborhood. The first step is to meet with all of the block representatives.O ur meeting is scheduled for July 17th at 8:00 a.m. and it will be held at my home. Post Alarm and a representative from the Sheriff’s office will be there to teach us about effective Neighborhood Watch programs. If the block representative cannot be there, I would like a resident from that block to attend the meeting in their absence. Following our gathering, block representatives and I will schedule meetings to educate and train fellow residents on how to construct a successful neighborhood watch program that will benefit the entire community. I ask for your continued effort in reporting all suspicious activities to the Temple City Sheriff (dial 911), Post Alarm, and to the Chapman Woods Board.

After a ferry ride to Two Harbors in Catalina they enjoyed camping, snorkeling, swimming (albeit the water was very, very cold and there were some some jellyfish also looking to swim!), BB guns, archery, hiking, and campfire and skits.

When I first arrived in the U.S., English was not a problem, I had been educated at an English speaking Catholic school in Mumbai, India called St. Xavier’s High School. I lived in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania and then transferred to Penn State. It’s funny, you know the common stereotype about all ethnicities looking the same? Well, for the first year here, all Americans looked the same to me! After I graduated from college, I worked on my family’s dream for my parents to emigrate here to start a new life. Before they arrived my brother and I looked for businesses for father, who was a painting contractor back in India. My father and I settled upon a dry cleaning business in 1985. For the first 11 years we learned many things about dry cleaning; some helpful, some not. We decided we needed to focus solely on performing the highest quality dry cleaning work available. We began to stand apart from our competition. Business took off and I opened more dry cleaning stores. Esteem Cleaners in Pasadena is now my fifth dry cleaner.
