2008 was a great year! Crime is down in the Windom neighborhood by 18.57%. There was a slight rise in burglaries and a rise in aggravated assaults. All the other crimes were significantly lower. Keep up the great work and remember to lock your doors, pin your windows, and shut those garages. Thanks for all of your hard work!

Hello all! I just wanted to let you know that we will be meeting next Thursday, the 15th, for our monthly meeting of the WCC. Because of the holidays, things have gotten a little out of whack, so we would like to hold the meeting next week instead of this week. Hopefully that works for everyone. Sincerely, Breanne Rothstein WCC President
