ONe of my favorite programs of the past few years was having a local police officer come and do a "safety audit" of the hostess' house. He talked about alarm system pro/con, deadbolt locks and how to deal with home intruders. Most police departments have someone designated for 'community education' and they are happy to present safety issues pertinent to your area. He went an hour over... at our request. Some of his suggestions were simple things that I've installed... while I'd like to think the bad guys would go to the expensive homes by the golf course and not drive all the way over to my subdivision, I'd rather be safe.
We also did a silent auction last year that raised over $1000! We called it "Make it, Bake it, Fake it, Take it". Everyone brought something.. could be home made, or not. It was soooooooo much fun.
