Please join us on Tuesday and take part in the discussions around the positive aspects of last week's Block Party, ways to increase participation in the Community Watch program and how we move forward with our planned Waco Lights Up for Christmas contest, decorating the town for the holidays and the Christmas Parade. These activities take a lot of planning, commitment and community involvement. We need volunteers that are willing to help us keep these traditions active.
